Which is right for your home?
We recommend one or the other after the survey, based on your home. This is how they compare.
| Feature | Wireless alarms | Wired alarms |
|---|---|---|

| Price | Three packages from £599, fitted, including VAT. | Designed and priced after a survey. |
| Best for | Most homes, and anywhere running cables would be disruptive. | Homes where cabling can be run neatly, and larger homes that want a fully designed system. |

| Cameras | Photo detectors show what set the alarm off, and cameras can be added later in the same app. | Linked to your cameras, so every activation can be seen and checked. |

Questions
What is the difference between a wireless and a wired alarm?
In a wireless alarm the detectors talk to the control panel by encrypted radio, so nothing has to be run through the house. In a wired alarm the detectors are cabled to the control panel. After the survey we recommend the one that suits your home.
Do I need a monitoring contract?
No. The wireless alarm is self-monitored through the app, with a one-off payment and no contract. If you want trained operators to watch it around the clock, it can be connected to a monitoring centre. See how monitoring works.
Can I add cameras later?
Yes. Cameras can be added to a wireless alarm later, in the same app, and a wired alarm can be linked to cameras. See home CCTV.
Does the survey cost anything?
The survey for the wireless packages is free. After the survey we confirm the equipment and the price in writing.
Can detectors be added after the system is fitted?
Yes. The packages are a starting point, and extra detectors can be fitted. We will tell you what to add and why.
Seen. Secured. Sorted.
