Government statistics have shown that around 60% of burglaries carried out on homes fitted with burglar alarms are unsuccessful. This suggests that burglar alarms are a useful deterrent for prospective criminals.

The British Security Industry Association suggests that householders use a professional alarm installation company registered with a police recognised "alarm inspectorate" - so ask to see our company's registration documents, and look for the following accreditation: SSAIB (Security Systems and Alarms Inspection Board)

We offer a free survey and written quotation without obligation. We strongly suggest you turn away companies that try to shock you with stories or statistics about burglary. Burglaries are less common than most people think and violent attacks on people in their homes are extremely rare. You should consider reporting any firms that use shock tactics to your local police or trading standards.

There are a few different types of alarm systems. The first, and most common, is the traditional "audible only" system. When professionally fitted these cost around£500 to install plus another £65 per year for a maintenance agreement.

Police will respond to a monitored alarm when an alarm-receiving centre notifies them. However, from October 2001 newly installed monitored alarms have had to also use "confirmation" technology to receive a police response. Here, people at the alarm-receiving centre check using either CCTV (to see an intruder), an audio connection (to hear an intruder) or something called "sequential confirmation". Sequential confirmation sounds a bit complicated, but basically this means detecting an intruder using sensors in a number of different places in or around you home - to spot if someone is moving around.Before deciding on the type of alarm to install check with your insurance company first. They may offer discounts off your premium depending on the type you have fitted and the kind of installer you use. This could help make your choice a little easier.
