Frequently asked questions
Can my existing alarm be monitored?
Compatibility depends on the alarm, signalling equipment and proposed monitoring provider. Supply the make and model for assessment.
What happens when an alarm goes off?
The response follows the agreed monitoring contract: verification, nominated contacts and any separately arranged attendance should be documented.
Do you provide police response?
Police response depends on the system, provider and applicable police requirements. Ask the proposed provider to confirm eligibility and arrangements; attendance cannot be guaranteed.
Is your monitoring centre based in the UK?
The monitoring provider and facility must be identified in the proposal. Request evidence of operating hours, resilience and data-handling arrangements.
Can you combine monitoring with CCTV?
Absolutely. We integrate live video verification so that operators can visually confirm intrusions before escalation.
Do you offer short-term monitoring?
Yes. We provide flexible monitoring for construction or temporary projects with rental hardware options.
