Security Systems in Bournemouth

Professional CCTV, Fire & Intruder Alarm Installations Across Bournemouth

Central Southern Security has been protecting Bournemouth properties since 1982, from Victorian villas in Boscombe to modern apartments in Westbourne, and everything in between. As Bournemouth's population has grown and changed, so have its security needs. Today we install and maintain CCTV, intruder alarms, fire systems, and access control for the town's unique mix of permanent residents, student accommodation, holiday lets, and coastal businesses.

Our NSI NACOSS GOLD-approved engineers understand the specific challenges Bournemouth properties face: seasonal crime patterns around the university terms, the security requirements of Airbnb and holiday home owners, and the need for systems that can withstand coastal weather while delivering crystal-clear footage along the seafront.

Bournemouth's Security Challenges, And How We Solve Them

Bournemouth isn't one town, it's a collection of distinct neighbourhoods, each with different security priorities. In Boscombe and Southbourne, we've installed dozens of systems for landlords managing HMOs and student properties, with remote access that lets them monitor multiple buildings from anywhere. Along Westbourne and the town centre, our commercial CCTV protects restaurants, bars, and retail premises during busy summer months and quieter winters alike.

For holiday home owners in Bournemouth, and along the coastal roads, we design systems that provide year-round remote monitoring - so you can check in on your property from anywhere in the world. We've also worked extensively with local letting agents to create security packages that reassure guests while protecting owners' investments.

The coastal environment demands robust equipment. We specify cameras and alarm sensors that resist salt corrosion and can handle Bournemouth's wind and rain without constant maintenance calls.

Our Security Services in Bournemouth

Whether you're a homeowner in Charminster, a landlord in Winton, or a business owner on the seafront, we design systems around how you actually use your property.

• CCTV & Surveillance Systems — HD cameras with remote viewing via smartphone. Ideal for holiday lets, student properties, and businesses needing out-of-hours monitoring. We've installed systems that have helped Bournemouth Police identify suspects in multiple local investigations.

• Intruder & Burglar Alarms — Wired or wireless systems that meet insurance requirements for Bournemouth's older housing stock and new builds alike. We work with local insurers and understand what they need to see.

• Fire Systems — Critical for Bournemouth's HMOs and multi-occupancy buildings. We design compliant systems for landlords and manage annual inspections to keep you legal, and your tenants safe.

• Access Control & Door Entry — Perfect for apartment blocks in Westbourne and the town centre. Control entry remotely, issue temporary codes for guests or contractors, and keep full entry logs.

• Holiday Home Security Packages — Combined CCTV, alarm, and smart home integration designed specifically for Bournemouth's short-term rental market. Monitor bookings, control access, and protect your property between guests.

• 24/7 Monitoring & Keyholding — Local response teams who can attend your Bournemouth property in case of an alarm activation, day or night.

We Know Bournemouth

Our engineers live and work in Dorset. We know that a security system for a three-storey Edwardian conversion in Boscombe needs different thinking than a modern apartment in BH2, or a detached family home in Southbourne. We understand Bournemouth's layout, its property types, and the real-world security issues locals face.

We've secured dozens of Bournemouth schools, worked with the council on public building projects, and protected hundreds of local businesses, from independent shops to larger commercial premises near the university.

All our engineers are fully insured, DBS-checked, and trained to NSI GOLD standards. More importantly, they're local, polite, and actually show up when they say they will.

Trusted Since 1982

We're not a national chain with a local franchise, we're a Hampshire and Dorset company that's been operating from the same area for over 40 years. We've watched Bournemouth grow, and we've grown with it.

That longevity means we maintain systems we installed decades ago, and customers still call us first when they move house or need an upgrade. It's also why local letting agents, managing agents, and property developers come back to us year after year.
