Frequently Asked Questions
Simply put, burglar alarms install sensors around a property in an attempt to identify intruders approaching, attempting to enter, or having broken into a property.
The data these sensors provide can then be used to alert you, the homeowner, to any suspicious activity around your property.
Verisure offer monitored alarm systems that mean the data from these sensors is monitored by professional security staff, who have the authority to phone the emergency services on your behalf if necessary.
Burglar alarms can range in cost from hundreds of pounds for a DIY installed, unmonitored system that provides basic protection, to thousands of pounds for some professionally monitored systems.
Verisure aim to provide complete peace of mind at a price that works for you. Our monitoring service ensures that your home is protected, whether you're available or not!.
Studies have shown that burglar alarms are an effective deterrent against burglary. A study from UNC Charlotte showed that:
Approximately 60% of the convicted burglars indicated the presence of a burglar alarm would cause them to seek an alternative target
The presence of an alarm and outdoor cameras, which the Verisure burglar alarm system includes, were ranked as the two most effective deterrents against burglary.
A self-monitored system will cost less, but leaves you vulnerable to being unavailable to answer alerts on your alarm.
A monitored system means there are always professional, certified security staff monitoring alerts from your alarm, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
While monitored alarms do come at a cost, they provide peace of mind that simply cannot be achieved with a regular burglar alarm.
Burglar alarms should be connected to the mains to ensure consistent power to the system and keep your property protected.
The Verisure burglar alarm system includes a central unit which is connected to the mains and has a backup battery which has a minimum 48-hour capacity.
Even if your home loses power - your property remains protected.
