Free Fire and Security Tools
Use our free online fire and security tools to review maintenance dates, alarm signalling, system health, CCTV performance and local security considerations. Each tool provides an immediate indicative result and practical next steps.
About these tools
The SPS Technical tools library contains free online calculators, checkers and self-assessments for commercial fire and security systems. The tools cover fire alarms, CCTV, intruder alarms, access control, monitoring, maintenance and system risk. Results are indicative and do not replace a competent technical assessment.
What the SPS Technical Tools Do
Each tool focuses on a single question — when is my next maintenance due, is my alarm signalling at risk, is my system healthy, is my CCTV fit for purpose, or what does my local security picture look like. Results are immediate, indicative and designed to point you toward the right professional next step.

Who the Tools Are Designed For
The tools are written for non-technical users responsible for commercial premises — facilities managers, estates teams, responsible persons and business owners. Where technical information is unavailable, you can select “I don’t know” and the tool will reduce its confidence rather than assume a failure.
How Results Should Be Used
Treat each result as a starting point for further investigation, not as a certificate of condition or compliance. Indicative results help you decide whether to arrange a professional review. SPS Technical can confirm findings on site and explain any remedial options.
Why SPS Technical Provides These Tools
SPS Technical designs, installs, maintains and monitors commercial fire and security systems across Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the Humber. These free tools help responsible teams spot issues early — before footage goes missing, a maintenance visit is missed, or signalling fails. Where a tool identifies a concern, we can provide a professional review and clear remedial options.
