Why monitoring matters

Your alarm is only as good
as what happens next

A bell-only alarm tells your neighbours there's a problem. A monitored alarm tells a trained operator - who then tells the police. That's the difference between a noise and a response.

As an NSI Silver approved installer, we connect your alarm to an ACPO-compliant Alarm Receiving Centre. When your alarm activates, operators verify the alert, attempt contact, and escalate to police or a keyholder within seconds.

Professional operators
Staffed 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Every activation is handled by a trained, accredited operator - not an automated system.
Police response available
With a police URN (Unique Reference Number), your alarm is registered with the force. Officers can be dispatched on confirmed activation.
Insurance recognised
Most home and business insurers require monitoring as a condition of policy. Our monitoring meets the standard they specify.
Keyholder response
Designate a keyholder - someone we call before police. Often the quickest first response for false alarms or routine incidents.
Response levels

Choose the level of
cover you need

We offer monitoring solutions for every property type and budget - from basic app notifications to full 24/7 ARC with police response.

Bell Only
No ARC connection. Your alarm sounds an external sounder when triggered. Suitable for lower-risk properties where local deterrence is the goal.

Instant alerts Remote control Smart systems
04
Keyholder Response
We maintain a list of nominated keyholders - people we call before police in the event of an activation. Fast, personal and often the most practical first response.
Named contacts Fast response Flexible
Signalling technology

Dual-path signalling.
No single point of failure.

A robust monitoring connection uses two independent paths - so if one fails, the signal still gets through.

RedCARE
BT's dedicated alarm signalling network. Continuously supervised connection between your alarm panel and the ARC - any fault is detected immediately, not just on activation.
CSL DualCom
Market-leading dual-path communicator using both IP and GPRS simultaneously. If one path drops, the other takes over instantly. Grade 3 compliant.
IP / GPRS
Cost-effective dual-path signalling over broadband and mobile network. Suitable for the majority of domestic and light commercial installations.

ARC registration
Your alarm is registered at the Alarm Receiving Centre. Police URN applied for if required. Keyholders added to the system.
