If you already have an alarm system installed the chances are it is not a monitored system. Most UK alarm systems rely on someone on the premises hearing the alarm and responding to it in the required manner. However, this has its drawbacks, so more and more people are using an alarm monitoring service.

Most premises, be they private homes or business premises, are not occupied 24/7. This means that if the alarm goes off when no one is on the premises no action gets taken. So if you have an intruder alarm no police are called, if it is a fire alarm that is not connected directly to the fire station the fire service is not called. In the case of plant machinery alarms no action is taken to turn the machinery off to prevent further damage or to call an engineer to repair the machinery. In these circumstances not having your alarm system monitored leads to you losing a lot of money. Alarm monitoring makes sure that appropriate action is taken and taken quickly before too much damage is done.

If you employ a janitor or security to keep an eye on things alarm monitoring will allow you to make them redundant again saving ...
... you money.
