The majority of bookies have bells only, hardly a good example of a company who takes security seriously.

Monitoring is only £45 ish a quarter. Which is a lot less than ADT. Would recommend them. 

You're comparing apples with pears.

He must share his spare room as I’ve spoken to a few of them over the last few days and they are on the phone EVERY time the alarm is triggered.

 

apart from the last month or so when its not been working..

And I know for a fact a very large chain of bookmakers use them. 

 

yes, rather than having alarms with Police URN's & Dualcoms, Bet Fred use https://www.alarm-monitoring.co.uk

 

you pay your money & take your choice...

 

So guys, who do you recommend for alarm monitoring at £15 a month. We had a standard alarm and got all our stuff robbed in a burglary whilst the alarm went off. Any of you guys offer monitoring for £15 a month.

from facebook

 

 

I think the Salvation Army provide better accommodation ? 

Any of you guys be on the end of the speaker talking to us while we go downstairs at 2 in the morning, all for £15 a month????!!!

Come on guys tell me how much ADT charge and convince me how I can’t afford it!!! What about Redcare, are they £15 a month to have someone reassure you at 2 am when the alarm goes off!

I wouldn't call that sort of thing monitoring...

Monitoring has polling (well test calls on a digi).

@JonJR if you are happy with it and are aware of it's limitations then good for you I say, but this is nothing like the offerings of a proper company.

 

Ref the repair I guess it's not under any sort of maintenance agreement that covers call outs?

And the average semi in Manchester can afford that? You guys may not like them, but I’ve used them for 8 years and they are great, alarm goes off and they are there talking to you, all for £15 a month. Alarm bell box goes off and your neighbors just get annoyed. 

I agree ref the nuisance but if you have it installed and maintained properly your neighbours won't know what your alarm sounds like.

 

Does seem a bit scientology to me though...
