keo18 Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hi, I would like to know if anyone has any alternatives to ADT for a police response / monitored burglar alarm. They have quotes quite a bit and then £35/month on top. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keo18 Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 Thanks! From your experience if you dont mind me asking what are your views on ADT? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJames Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 There are ADT engineers on here that are very good, I would have no hesitation in trusting them with my alarm system, but like all companies there will be good and bad. ADT are very big so the law of averages would mean they get a bad press. I would recommend that you get three quotes, choose at least one smaller independent go with whoever makes you feel most comfortable. I guess you dont live in the cheapest house so dont choose the cheapest security, those selling on price are normally not the best. Both NSI and SSIAB can provide Police response, and in the unlikley event of something going wrong you can complain to the inspectorate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find most insurers haven't asked for it meaning residential and it's customer who seems to want it , but it varies I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
