We currently have a house alarm however its quite old and the bellbox on the front looks dated and I'm starting to think the local yoof might take a punt that it is no longer working. Our neighbours were burgled last week between 4.30pm and 10pm and i was in throughout that time period so clearly you can't rely on anyone hearing anything.

Have decided a monitored alarm is the way to go. We have cats (but no cat flap) so we would want them to have free run of the house when we are not in and during the night. We do not have any outbuildings of value so its just purely the house. its a 3 bed tunnel linked terraced.

We want to be able to have a night setting so that just doors and windows are armed but PIRs are ignored.

Obvious 3 for me are

ADT
Chubb
Secom

we want householder response, not police and i understand there is autodialer tech thats been out for years but i just don't trust it to be 100% fool proof in the event we need it.

I live in Romford, Essex.

Does anyone have any experience of any of the companies listed above, any insights, opinions or other company suggestions ?

Would appreciate any help at the mo.

thank you for the replies. For some reason PH decided not to notify me of them so didn't realise anyone had.

Just looked at the Dyno, again, no prices so does anyone have an idea? ADT are 'from' £99 install and £25 a month for monitoring which seems perfectly reasonable to me.
