Wireless alarms with fewer false alarms
Older alarms in Colchester homes are notorious for false activations that you — and your neighbours — learn to ignore. Our smart systems use photo-verifying detectors and intelligent algorithms to tell a real intruder from a pet, shadow or passing car, so an alert actually means something. Clean, wire-free installation means no mess and no disruption.
Monitoring and police response
Choose how your alarm is watched: self-monitor for free via the app, or step up to our 24/7 Alarm Receiving Centre, where verified activations on your Colchester property are escalated to keyholders and, with a police URN, to the police. Change or cancel your plan anytime — no long lock-in.
Takeovers, upgrades and aftercare
We regularly take over and upgrade tired wired and wireless alarms across Colchester, often reusing existing wiring to keep costs down. Afterwards you get real local aftercare: maintenance plans, annual servicing and fast call-outs from engineers who know your system.
