Why invest in an Alarm System at all?
The Office of National Statistics figures ending December 2020, showed a marked increase in burglaries of residential properties by 9 % compared to 2019. Meanwhile, The Guardian states that there has been a 32% rise in domestic burglary.
For businesses, the picture is similarly shocking too – the wholesale and retail industry alone fell victim to 8.1 million crimes in 2019-2020 for example with theft and shoplifting being the common offences.
The ONS report points out that if the trend continues in this direction, 2021 will see burglaries peak at their highest rate for five years.
That implies that 8 out of every 1,000 people will be the victim of a burglary– further proofing that if you don’t have an alarm system already, now is the time to install a burglar alarm to safeguard your home and business.

We offer systems that give the option of either 24 Hour Back-to-Base Monitoring or self-monitoring. Back to base monitoring requires PSTN (phone line) or GPRS (mobile) connectivity, whilst self-monitoring is generally setup through hard wired IP connectivity.
Most older alarms systems use PSTN (telephone line) for communications back to the monitoring centre, in most cases this method will no longer function once NBN is installed. To reinstate monitoring you will need to add either an IP or GPRS module to enable communications.
