Intruder Alarm

“An Alarm system is a worthwhile investment in the protection of your home and family. Studies reveal that it is far less likely that you will become the victim of a burglary at home if you have a correctly fitted and well maintained burglar alarm.”

Metropolitan Police Quote

Audible only or a bells only alarm system, will not get an automated police attendance and in addition to their activation these systems will also require some indication that an offence is in progress, e.g. from an onsite witness.

It is always best practice to have any intruder alarm system maintained annually.

Remote Signalling Alarm, including intruder alarms terminating at approved NSI NACOSS Gold central monitoring station. Such alarms will be registered with the police and identified by a unique reference number (URN) and can include personal attack alarms. The police response to their activation will be based on the assumption that an offence is taking place, but against the background of competing urgent calls and available resources. Such a response will also be conditional upon the number of false activations in any 12 month period, in which case the activation may receive a lower priority police attendance.

Remote Signalling Alarms must be under a maintenance contract and maintained and used in accordance with British Standard 4737/BS EN 50131, BS 7042 (high security systems) or BS 6799 Class VI (wire-free alarms).
