Frequently asked questions
Do I need a monitored alarm in the UK?
Not always. Many homes use app alerts only; others prefer professional monitoring. Share how quickly you need response and whether you want a monitored package so local installers can advise.
Can security systems be installed in rented homes?
Often yes with landlord permission, especially wireless kits that minimise drilling. Mention tenancy status and any lease restrictions when you request help.
