What is Remote Monitoring?

Remote monitoring connects your security systems to a professional monitoring station where trained operators watch over your property 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When an alarm triggers or CCTV detects suspicious activity, our team responds immediately—contacting keyholders, dispatching mobile patrols or alerting the emergency services as required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our alarm monitoring service operates with an average response time of under 60 seconds. When your alarm activates, the signal is instantly transmitted to our monitoring station and acted upon immediately.

Alarm monitoring services are surprisingly affordable, typically costing less per day than a cup of coffee. The potential losses from a single break-in far exceed the cost of professional monitoring.

When your alarm activates, the signal is sent to our monitoring station within seconds. Our operators verify the alert and take appropriate action—contacting you, dispatching a mobile patrol, or alerting the emergency services.

Whilst self-monitoring via smartphone apps is possible, professional monitoring ensures a response even when you are unreachable. Insurance companies also often require professional monitoring for full coverage.

No. Modern monitoring uses IP (internet) and GSM (mobile network) communicators, so a traditional phone line is not required. We install all necessary communication equipment as part of the setup.
