Fire and security systems can be monitored or unmonitored. Monitored systems are connected to an external receiving centre or monitoring station. In the case of fire alarm installations, this automatically alerts the fire service. When it comes to CCTV and intruder alarm installations, skilled operators monitor activity at your premises. There are various benefits to remote monitoring, which we explain below, but an unmonitored system might be perfectly adequate for your needs. Our fire and security specialists in Newton Abbot can find the best solutions for your site, from CCTV installation to fire extinguisher maintenance and fire alarm servicing.

Fire Alarms
A monitored fire alarm system sends an automatic alert to a monitoring centre when smoke, heat or fire is detected. Benefits include:
Insurers and fire risk assessments may require fire alarm installations to be monitored. Some systems can also alert to faults, power loss and detector issues. This aids system maintenance alongside other servicing, such as fire extinguisher maintenance, and improves system reliability.
CCTV
With monitored CCTV installations, live footage is watched by security staff or operators at an off-site monitoring centre. This provides:
Intruder Alarms
A monitored intruder alarm system alerts a monitoring centre when an alarm is triggered at your property in Newton Abbot or the surrounding areas.
Furthermore, many insurers offer reduced premiums for properties with monitored intruder alarm installations.
Our fire and security specialists might recommend an unmonitored system if it is suitable for your needs. If you opt for an unmonitored fire alarm installation or intruder alarm installation, an alarm will sound at the premises if triggered. This works well in occupied buildings, where someone can respond to the alarm and call the emergency services. You may be able to get app alerts on your phone if an alarm is set off, allowing you to respond quickly, but you may need to visit the premises.
With unmonitored CCTV installations, cameras record footage, but no one watches it live. This ensures you have evidence if an incident does occur, but it doesn’t help you respond quickly to criminal activity.
The main benefit of unmonitored systems is their lower cost, as installation is simpler and there are no monitoring costs.
