Archer Security in short

Archer Security is a Halesfield firm fitting CCTV alongside alarms, access control, electric gates and door entry across Telford and the wider county. Its standout is range: alarm systems with police-response options from one contractor, backed by a live limited company record. Customer reviews read strongly, at four point nine out of five on Google.

What counts against Archer Security is the paperwork gap: no insurance detail and no prices on its pages, and its SSAIB certification is stated without a registration number alongside. Our view is that it suits homes and small firms wanting alarms and cameras designed as one system. It suits a single-contractor brief where the panel, the cameras and the gates must work together.
