150 years in the making
There’s nothing quite like the comfort of feeling secure. We’ve been perfecting that protection for 150 years. Whether you’re hitting the hay or soaking up the sun, our Alarm Receiving Centre monitors your system 24/7/365.
If your alarm’s triggered we’re the first to respond, contacting you, your keyholders and the police, depending on your level of cover. All in the name of protecting the things you love. It’s what we do. For the last 150 years and the next.
On the whole, there's a big difference between being the cheapest and best value.
Your home security is one area in which cutting corners could cost you. So don't choose 'gadgets'; choose a system and a company that's serious on security.

* A URN or unique reference number means your alarm system will be registered with your local police force.
** ECHO (Electronic Call Handling Operations) is a dedicated alarm transfer service and industry requirement by end of 2022 to pass signals on to the police.
*** Verisure & SimpliSafe use a third-party alarm receiving centre (ARC) from Securitas, that is NSI approved. ADT is NSI Gold approved across the board, from install to monitoring, meaning our engineers are security screened prior to joining and have the necessary accreditation to install and maintain your alarm system to meet the requirements of most home insurers.
