Someone watching, around the clock

Why monitor your alarm?

A siren-only system depends on somebody hearing it and acting. A monitored system alerts the Alarm Receiving Centre the moment it activates — day or night — so a response happens even when nobody is around to hear the bell. Monitoring can also cover smoke and fire detection as part of your security package, and status messages keep you informed about your property.

An intruder alarm must be connected to an Alarm Receiving Centre to meet EN 50131 Grade 2 — the grade insurers commonly require for business premises.

No phone line? No problem.

Telephone networks in Ireland are moving from copper to fibre and next-generation networks — removing the line that traditional alarm diallers relied on. Our answer is radio signalling with CSL DualCom technology:

• Multi-network WorldSIM® — signals over any available mobile network and switches automatically to the strongest, for maximum reliability anywhere in Ireland or the UK
• No landline, no line rental — and no extra SIM contracts or call charges
• Supervised connection — the Gemini® managed network polls the unit regularly and reports its status, so problems are spotted before they matter
• Future proof — unaffected by the copper switch-off and broadband changes

Monitoring charges start from €220 per annum, including all call and SIM charges — typically the same or less than old landline monitoring once line rental is counted. For monthly self-monitoring and central station plans (from €15/month), see our intruder alarm monitoring plans.
