Monitored Alarms connects to an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) which is a remote central station manned 24 hours a day 365 days a year.

 

The alarm system sends signals to the ARC which in turn verifies the signals received. For instance, if the alarm system detects an intrusion, it immediately sends an intruder signal to the ARC. Within seconds the ARC is able to verify the alarm signal and decide on appropriate course of action – to alert you or your nominated keyholders and if necessary, alert the Police via an agreed communication channel.

Yes of course – we highly recommend you use the night settings.

 

Your Alarm allows for full setting, part setting and night setting. Typically, on a night setting, you are free to move around some areas of your home, such as upstairs whilst the ground floor is alarmed. This would be set up and fully demonstrated on installation.

It takes, on average, a full working day to install a domestic intruder alarm system, some Commercial premises may take longer.

Not at all. Your Wireless Alarm will utilise a dedicated narrow band radio channel which is exclusive for the Security Industry and as such unlikely to receive interference from your wireless internet connection. We have filters to combat this problem in the unlikely event of any interference.

We can usually do a site survey within one to two days at your convenience, installing is usually within seven days from acceptance.
