Alarm systems? Monitored / Police

[LDN]

New business premises; what alarm systems are generally considered the best. I hear about ADT a lot... my preference is for a monitored system where the Police are sent to the property; when the alarm is triggered.

Have you asked your insurance if they have any requirements ?

Get quotes from a couple of local indies as well as ADT.

Friend of mine owns a local alarm company, he is ex ADT, and can offer everything ADT do. We have his alarm systems at our home and my business, both monitored, but we decided to not bother with the police response (he can offer it if needed). Great kit and fully serviced.

^ This. Our insurers carried out a site survey when we moved in & gave us a list of requirements which included a monitored alarm with Police response.

All noted. Thank you!

Nacoss or SSAIB registered companies will be needed to comply with any insurance requirements. There are companies out there incorrectly advertising monitored alarms.....You need a URN number to get a police response. Some companies try and sell audio verification but you cant get a URN for those systems.
