Integrated Fire & Security
Integrated fire and security projects for commercial premises
NOX can coordinate commercial fire alarms, CCTV, intruder protection and ongoing support through one project team. The systems remain correctly separated in design, commissioning and records while the customer benefits from coordinated planning and accountability.
Integrated project examples
Fire, CCTV and intruder planned as one coordinated commercial project
The systems remain separate in scope, but the on-site delivery, cable routes, access and handover can be organised through one coordinated project plan.
Site requirement
One project team does not mean one blurred system scope
Fire, CCTV and intruder systems answer different requirements. NOX coordinates surveys, access, installation sequencing and customer communication while keeping fire design, commissioning, security operation and future service records clear.

Products and system options
Systems often included in an integrated project
The customer benefits from one coordinated project route, while each system still keeps its own correct design, records and service requirements.
Fire alarm control and detection
Commercial fire alarm design is based on the premises, circulation, zoning, cause and effect, records and future servicing requirements.
Commercial CCTV
Camera coverage is planned around entrances, working areas, yards, evidence quality and the live views managers need each day.
Commercial intruder alarms
Detection, keypads, user permissions and monitoring are configured around how the premises opens, closes and operates.
Emergency lighting coordination
Where required, emergency-lighting installation or servicing can be coordinated alongside the wider project with clear separate scope.
Project process
Survey, design, installation and ongoing support
Combined site review
The property, fire information, security risks, existing systems, operations and programme are reviewed together.
Separate system designs
Fire, CCTV, intruder and emergency-lighting scopes are specified clearly, with shared enabling work identified.
Coordinated installation
Access, cabling, commissioning and handover are sequenced to reduce conflict and unnecessary disruption.
Ongoing support plan
Fire servicing, emergency lighting, alarm monitoring and CCTV maintenance are offered as clear recurring services after handover.
What the design needs to solve
System decisions linked to the operational requirement
Clear accountability
The customer has one local project contact while each system retains the correct technical and documentary scope.
Shared enabling work
Cable routes, access equipment, working-at-height activity and other enabling work can be coordinated so the project runs more smoothly.
Efficient site access
Surveys, access equipment, cable routes and operational constraints can be coordinated across the project.
Consistent handover
Users receive a consistent overview of controls, records, apps, contacts and future service dates.
Future servicing
Fire servicing, emergency-lighting testing, alarm monitoring and CCTV maintenance can be arranged as clear follow-on services.
Recurring support
Installation can lead into fire servicing, emergency-lighting testing, alarm monitoring and CCTV maintenance without hiding the separate costs.
Pricing factors
What affects the commercial quotation
The final price reflects the site, system, access and operational requirements confirmed during the survey.
- ✓ Number and type of systems
- ✓ Building size and fire information
- ✓ Camera and alarm device quantities
- ✓ Shared and separate cable routes
- ✓ Existing equipment
- ✓ Programme and operational constraints
- ✓ Commissioning and documentation
- ✓ Ongoing service requirements

Commercial Fire & Security · Brimington, Chesterfield
Black CCTV and fire first-fix at The Tan Station
The Tan Station was being created as a modern customer-facing premises with a strong black interior and exterior finish. Leaving fire and security planning until the end would have risked exposed routes, awkward device positions and equipment that looked disconnected from the completed fit-out. NOX became involved during the project, completed the fire-alarm first fix and installed black internal and external CCTV in positions selected around the layout, finishes and intended use of each area.

Industrial Fire and Intruder Installation for a Derbyshire Warehouse
The Telesis Hitachi premises required modern fire protection and intruder security that could be installed around an operational industrial environment. The two systems needed to be coordinated as one project without confusing their separate life-safety and security functions. NOX installed the Ajax EN54 Fire Hub, manual call points and warning devices alongside the commercial intruder equipment, then tested normal operation, manual activation, alarm indication and evacuation functions before completing the handover with the responsible users.

Commercial Fire and Intruder Installation for Banana Industries
Banana Industries had inherited older intruder controls that no longer provided the clear, modern user experience required by the business. The premises also had separate fire-protection needs, so the project had to be coordinated without treating the fire and intruder systems as one combined function. NOX assessed the existing arrangement, replaced the ageing alarm controls with Ajax equipment, introduced new detection and opening protection, installed the external NOX siren and completed a clear handover and future-support route for the Sheffield team.

Customer feedback
Professional planning, installation and local support
“We had NOX Fire & Security install our commercial fire alarm system alongside an intruder alarm, and the whole experience was spot on from start to finish. Clean, professional installation, everything clearly explained, and the system is easy to manage through the app with instant alerts. The fire system is clear, reliable and easy for the team to manage without overcomplicating things. No pushy sales, no unnecessary contracts — just honest advice and proper workmanship. You can tell they care about doing things right. Highly recommend NOX for any business looking for fire or security systems in Chesterfield / Sheffield.”Rory StirlandCommercial Fire Alarm & Intruder Alarm
“We recently had NOX install cameras, smoke screens, and alarms at our office and the whole experience has been spot on from start to finish. From the very first phone call with Isaac, everything felt straightforward and reassuring. He took the time to explain our options, answered all our questions, and helped design a system that made sense for our building and our budget. No pushy sales tactics at all, which was refreshing. The installation was smooth, the team were professional, and even after everything was fitted, Isaac has been on hand to help with any follow-up questions. A really great service and a company I'd happily recommend.”Nathan De La RosaCommercial CCTV, Alarms & Smoke Screens
“Professional, friendly and sensible pricing. From first contact to completion the process was smooth and stress-free. The team clearly know their stuff and the system is exactly what we needed. Would have no hesitation recommending NOX to other businesses.”Jez SCommercial CCTV
Common questions
Answers before a commercial survey
Does integrated mean the fire alarm and intruder alarm become one system?
No. They remain separate systems with different functions and requirements. The project planning and customer support are coordinated.
Can NOX install fire, CCTV and intruder at the same premises?
Yes, for suitable projects. Each scope is surveyed, quoted, installed and handed over clearly.
Can existing systems be retained?
Potentially. Access, condition, compatibility, records and supportability determine what can be reused or taken over.
Can ongoing service visits be coordinated?
Yes, where practical, fire, emergency-lighting and security visits can be planned under clear individual or combined arrangements.
Is this suitable for a refurbishment?
Yes. Early coordination is particularly useful where cable routes, ceilings, access, builders and other trades are involved.
