Frequently Asked Questions

Helpful answers for homeowners comparing security systems.

What is the best home security system for my property?
The best home security system depends on your property's size, layout, and security requirements. Modern systems can include burglar alarms, CCTV cameras, smart doorbells, motion sensors, window and door contacts, and smartphone monitoring. A professional security installer can recommend a tailored solution for your home.
How much does it cost to install a burglar alarm in the UK?
The cost of a burglar alarm installation varies depending on the size of your property and the features you require. Basic alarm systems are generally more affordable, while monitored alarms, smart security systems, and integrated CCTV installations cost more. Requesting multiple quotes from local security companies helps you compare prices.
Should I choose a wired or wireless alarm system?
Both options have advantages. Wireless alarm systems are quicker to install with minimal disruption, making them ideal for existing homes. Wired alarm systems can be more suitable for new builds or major renovations where cables can be concealed during construction.
Are smart security systems worth it?
Yes. Smart security systems allow you to monitor your property remotely using a smartphone or tablet. You can receive instant notifications, arm or disarm your alarm remotely, view CCTV footage, and even communicate through smart video doorbells wherever you are.
Will installing a security system reduce my home insurance?
Some insurance providers offer discounts for professionally installed and maintained alarm systems, particularly monitored alarms. The discount varies between insurers, so it's worth checking your policy before installation.
Do I need planning permission for CCTV cameras?
In most cases, domestic CCTV installations do not require planning permission. However, restrictions may apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, or cameras positioned in ways that overlook neighbouring properties. Your installer can advise if any regulations apply.
What areas of my home are most important to protect?
Security professionals usually recommend protecting all main entry points, including front and back doors, ground-floor windows, garages, patios, conservatories, and side gates. Motion detectors placed in hallways and key access routes provide additional protection.
