Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between wireless and hardwired alarm systems in terms of cost?

Wireless systems typically cost £450–£750 to install and are quicker to set up with minimal drilling. Hardwired systems cost £700–£1,200 but provide more robust security and permanent integration with your property. Hardwired systems require more labour, hence the higher price.

Do I need professional monitoring, or can I use a mobile app instead?

Professional 24/7 monitoring (£10–£18/month) means trained operators respond to alarms immediately and contact emergency services. App-only systems rely on you being available. Many insurers offer discounts for professionally monitored systems, often offsetting the monitoring cost.

How often should I have my alarm system serviced?

Annual maintenance and testing (£80–£150 per visit) is recommended to ensure all sensors, wiring, and components function correctly. Regular servicing maintains insurance validity and catches faults before they affect your security.

Can I add CCTV to my existing alarm system?

Yes. Most alarm installers can integrate CCTV cameras with existing systems. A 4-camera CCTV installation costs £600–£950. This integrates remote viewing and recording with your alarm, providing comprehensive security coverage.
