VSS ( CCTV ) and Alarm System Monitoring

Do you want that extra piece of mind when taking the security of your home or business seriously?

All of our Video Surveillance Systems - VSS ( CCTV ) come with a downloadable APP or software program so that you can view all of your cameras on a PC, Smart Phone or Smart Tablet Device wherever you are, at whatever location you are in (pending a good internet or 3G /4G / 5G Connection)!

All of our Intruder Alarm System Installations come with a downloadable APP or software program so that you can control your alarm system, get alerts or activate a home automated device on a PC, Smart Phone or Smart Tablet Device wherever you are, at whatever location you are in (pending a good internet or 3G /4G / 5G Connection)!

This is called "Self Monitoring" and is adequate in this digital era to be acceptable by your home or business insurance companies, BUT:

This does warrant further cover dependant upon the higher the risk factor and your insurance company may insist on having external monitoring and police calling as a necessity!

What type of Monitoring do I need?

Video Surveillance Systems - VSS ( CCTV ) Monitoring is dependant upon how many cameras you have connected and whether they are directly linked to your alarm system. If they are not linked to your alarm system then the monitoring centre can only visually monitor the VSS ( CCTV ) Cameras upon an active alarm signal from the panel. If they are directly linked to the alarm panel then a 24 hour viewable monitoring is achievable.

So you can self monitor your alarm system from the App provided upon installation but if you require a Police Calling Feature then a special radio card will need to be installed into your alarm panel. In the event of a power cut or internet failure, the signal will still go directly to the Monitoring Centre and then the Police Station after a confirmed activation as well as designated keyholders.

Costs vary dependant upon what facility you require and for Police Calling there is a set-up fee to pay directly to the Police Borough that you fall into. There is normally a connection fee directly to the monitoring station too.

Monitoring can be paid for as one annual lump sum or via direct debit on a monthly basis. Please feel free to email us here or telephone 01902 304804 for further information.
