Alarm Monitoring

Maintenance and monitoring from £15/month for homes, with single path and dual path monitoring options.

A bells-only alarm can only sound for a maximum of 20 minutes under current noise regulations. Monitoring means key holders — and, where included, the Police — can be contacted when the system activates.

There is a minimum two years contract period for all monitored systems.
