Protect temporary access points with reliable security systems.
Keeping Sites Protected Beyond Working Hours
Scaffolding can change the risk profile of a site overnight. Upper floors become reachable, tools are left in place and access often remains open long after workers leave. Scaffolding alarms provide a practical way to control that risk while work is ongoing.
At Incognito Systems, we install scaffolding alarms using Ajax wireless alarm technology across Northamptonshire. These systems are designed to work without permanent wiring, making them well suited to temporary structures and evolving site layouts.
Our scaffolding alarms are powered by Ajax wireless alarm systems, chosen for their reliability and adaptability in temporary environments. Ajax devices operate without fixed wiring, making them well suited to scaffolding where layouts can change and permanent power sources are limited. Motion detection sensors and smart control units work together to monitor access points and trigger instant alerts when activity is detected.
The wireless design allows equipment to be repositioned easily as scaffolding is extended or altered, keeping coverage consistent throughout the project. Ajax alarms also provide secure communication and dependable performance, even in challenging site conditions.

Unlike fixed security systems, scaffolding alarms can be deployed quickly without disrupting work. The visible presence of an alarm acts as a deterrent, while instant notifications allow fast response during evenings, weekends or quieter periods. This makes them suitable for residential renovations, commercial developments and maintenance projects.
Every installation is tailored to how the scaffold is used, nearby access routes and surrounding buildings. This ensures the system focuses on areas that matter, rather than applying unnecessary coverage.
Installed by Approved Specialists
As approved Ajax alarm installers, our team can manage the full process from planning to setup and testing. We'll also provide clear guidance once the system is live, so it can be used confidently for the duration of the project.
If you’re looking for supply and installation of a burglar alarm in Northampton, Incognito Systems stands above the rest. Here’s why:
Site review and planning
Each installation begins with an assessment of the scaffold layout, access routes and surrounding areas. This allows the system to focus on vulnerable points created by temporary access, rather than applying unnecessary coverage.
Installation on active scaffolding
Ajax alarm devices are fitted directly to the scaffold without interrupting work on site. The wireless design allows equipment to be positioned quickly and adjusted later if the structure changes during the project.
System setup and ongoing use
Once installed, the scaffolding alarm is tested and configured so alerts are sent to the appropriate contacts. Clear guidance is provided, ensuring the system can be managed confidently.
Designed For Your Site
Every scaffolding alarm system is planned around the site itself rather than a fixed template. Factors such as scaffold height, access routes, surrounding buildings and how the site is used after hours all influence how the system is set up. Ajax devices allow sensors and control units to be positioned where they make the most sense, ensuring coverage focuses on real risk areas. This site-led approach means security remains effective as conditions change, without adding unnecessary equipment or complexity.
FAQs - Scaffolding Alarms
What are scaffolding alarms used for?
Scaffolding alarms are used to monitor temporary access created by scaffolding. They help deter unauthorised entry and alert key contacts if movement is detected outside approved working hours.
Are these alarms suitable for short projects?
Yes. Because they are wireless and quick to deploy, scaffolding alarms work well for short-term jobs as well as longer projects where layouts may change over time.
Do these scaffolding alarms need mains power?
No. Our scaffolding alarms utilise ajax alarm systems, and operate wirelessly sodo not rely on fixed power sources. This makes them suitable for sites where permanent electrics are unavailable.
Can the alarm be adjusted as the scaffold changes?
The system can be adapted as scaffolding is extended, reduced or repositioned. Sensors can be relocated to maintain coverage as the structure evolves.
Who receives alerts if the alarm is triggered?
Alerts can be sent directly to nominated individuals, allowing a quick response if activity is detected outside permitted hours.
