The Xtra-Sense Display Alarm product range is a unique and patented security system, developed specifically to help prevent theft, damage and shoplifting of valuable items on display. 

Products are avaialble in four main types:

Plinth Alarms
Plinth Alarms - ideal for alarming items on open display, such as figurines, bronzes, clocks, vases etc
Kit Alarms
Kit Alarms - highly flexible option for a wide range of displays, such as shelves, table tops and mantelpieces.
Pad Alarm
Pad Alarms - a hybrid of the Plinth and Kit Alarms for applications where either the pure Plinth or Kit are not the best solution.
Painting Alarms
Painting Alarms - detectors and alarms for wall hanging objects such as pictures and paintings.

These security and alarm systems provide flexible, cost effective solutions for managers responsible for security in museums, art galleries, historic houses, heritage properties, shops and retail outlets, corporate offices, libraries, churches and exhibitions.

Systems operate by detecting very small changes in weight, even when heavily loaded, and offer a number of key benefits:

  • Unobtrusive - no unsightly wires or chains are attached to the products being protected. Displays highlight the item not the security system.
  • 24 Hour Protection - the Xtra-Sense systems can operate during public viewing times when many other security systems are switched off.
  • Protection of multiple items on one surface or stand - multiple items can be placed on a display surface or stand fitted with the Xtra-Sense system, and each item is individually protected irrespective of the variety of item weights*.
  • Proven reliability - Xtra-Sense does not employ moving parts with their inherent reliability problems. It is tamper proof, and designed to minimise the potential for false alarms. Maintenance is limited to changing the battery, or checking the power supply.
  • Simple to operate and install by staff - no special skills are required to install or set up the system and can be a DIY security solution. Once powered up, the system is self-adjusting. It is equally simple to dismantle and re-assemble in a new configuration.
  • Clear audible alarm signal - soft or loud alarm options are available for stand-alone systems to attract the attention of staff when an item is removed from its display position.
  • Options available - Xtra-Sense can be used to trigger larger security networks such as, CCTV cameras, voice message, pagers, or in-store lighting, as part of an integrated alarm system. These links can be made both via hard-wiring, and through commonly available wireless transmission systems
