What Back to Base Alarm Monitoring Does

Having your alarm system monitored by an A1 Grade Monitoring centre such as ART Security provides you with an invaluable service that complements the local activation of your alarm system.

If you do have an alarm event our trained, professional operators will notify you on the contact details you have provided. If you are not available they will attempt to contact all the people you have listed on your after-hours contact list. If you are able to confirm intruder’s onsite, either via CCTV footage or physical attendance, they can arrange police and/or patrol attendance.

Back to base monitored security systems can also lower your insurance premiums.

The Cost of Security

The thing to remember with your home security system is that most of the costs made are one-off. These fees would be regarding purchase of the system, installation and operation of your alarm monitoring.

From there, there would be quarterly costs associated, but the cost these vary dependant on the system selected as best for your home.

Is It Worth It?

The most appropriate way to determine the value of an alarm monitoring system is by evaluating what is important for you to keep secure, and whether it fulfils this.
