What to know about no monthly fee alarms with professional installation
Alarms with no monthly fees have become popular because there is nothing to pay each month. But it is worth understanding what you gain and what you lose compared with an alarm connected to an Alarm Receiving Centre that alerts the Police.
What a no monthly fee alarm is
It is an alarm you buy and have installed, and it sends alerts straight to your phone.
What this alarm does offer
No monthly payments and no minimum contract. With professional installation, the devices are placed correctly and you can control everything from your phone.
What this alarm does not offer
If you are asleep, travelling or out of signal, nobody responds to the alert. And a private call to the Police is not treated in the same way as an alert verified by an Alarm Receiving Centre.
Which alarm we recommend
We install both options. For a main home where someone can always be reached, a well-installed alarm with no monthly fees may be enough; for second homes and businesses we recommend connection to a receiving centre.
Key points for your alarm
- Who will respond to an alert at night?
- What if you are travelling?
- Does the house stand empty for long periods?
- Does your insurer require it?
