Questions to ask every provider
- Who operates the monitoring centre, and is it independently certified?
- How are alarms verified before escalation?
- Who is contacted first: you, a keyholder, police, fire service or a private responder?
- Which response services cost extra or depend on location?
- What happens during internet, mobile-network or power failure?
- What is the minimum contract, cancellation process and equipment ownership position?
For police response, ask whether the system, installer and Alarm Receiving Centre meet the standards required by the relevant police policy, and how loss of police response status would be handled.
