DIY Alarms for Enthusiasts

Are you a DIY enthusiast (and not necessarily an expert)? There are several self-install DIY alarm options that might suit you. We'll explore these DIY alarms in greater detail soon. Keep in mind that they are straightforward to install and can be more cost-effective.

However, if you need an alarm system that connects directly to the police, professional installation by a certified alarm company is required. Such installations must be handled by providers regulated by independent bodies like the NSI or SSAIB. Learn more about monitored alarms here.

Choosing National Alarm Companies

Deciding between a well-known national installer and other options can be tough. While the reassurance of a recognized brand like Chubb, ADT, Verisure, Secom, or Dyno-Secure (part of British Gas, now G4S) might be appealing, it often comes with a higher cost.

Before making your decision, we encourage you to read our online reviews of these burglar alarm systems to determine which company aligns best with your security needs and budget.

If you're leaning towards a national brand, contact us today. We can offer you some excellent discounts and help streamline your choice.

Wireless

Wireless alarms provide a simpler and less disruptive installation process compared to hard-wired systems. There's no need to lift carpets, move furniture, or drill through walls, which often results in lower installation costs. Additionally, wireless systems are portable, making them ideal for temporary removal during home renovations or for taking with you if you move.

It's important to note that the only wireless alarm system meeting both British Standards and the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) Security System Policy, formerly known as ACPO, is the BS 6799 Class VI alarm. While typically more expensive than hard-wired systems, this type of alarm is necessary for those requiring police monitoring.

Bells Only Alarms

A bells-only alarm, which triggers an external siren upon activation, is a popular and economical option for home security. Its effectiveness largely depends on the local community’s responsiveness to the alarm. This type of alarm is ideal for areas with robust neighborhood watch programs but may not be as effective in remote locations where the siren might not be noticed.

For enhanced security requiring police involvement, a wireless BS 6799 Class VI alarm is essential. This option, while more expensive than traditional hard-wired systems, meets the stringent criteria set by British Standards and the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) for police monitoring.
