Re: Alarm response

It will depend on how many sensors you have. Most companies charge on that basis.

For a decent system with a national company you are probably looking at around €30 to €40 a month.

Re: Alarm response

Thanks Fred, we have had the alarm now for approx. 12 years, they want to charge 500 for monitored response, I feel that is a lot, maybe I am wrong.
Is it worth having the response? what do others do?

Re: Alarm response

Have a look at Securitas Direct , as Fred said expect to pay about €30 - €40,- a month. Got their standard package , main lounge sensor and terrace sensor with image recording ( not video ) and a couple of other room sensors. Efficient service on installation and follow -up , e.g ring to advise when batteries need changing , quick response to alarm - telephone contact with endless codes..Several neighbours have same package.

Re: Alarm response

500€ a year is around about right, we pay a similar amount to a company local to where OP is, it depends how good they are for the money i guess, we have been with our monitoring company for 8 years and they have been excellent, SES in Benissa FYI

Why not get the Spanish standard system. A dog that barks day and night.
