A real report from an AMCO alarm police arrest!

chris — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 00:20:38 +0000

One of the most frequent questions our team gets is: what happens if a burglar breaks in to my property and an AMCO monitored alarm is activated?

Well, the short answer is we immediately listen in, verbally challenge the intruder and act appropriately – in the case of an actual break-in we call the police and the relevant key holders.

That’s all well and good saying this, but possibly the best way to illustrate the exact process to see a “monitoring log” of an actual attempted burglary last weekend – showing how we act as we listen in and monitor activation within a property once the alarm is activated.

In this case, we alerted the police immediately and successfully arrested the intruder shortly after!

Over the last week or so we’ve been slowly launching the Alarm Monitoring Company’s Ultimate Alarm Project – our search for the *best burglar beating system in the world*.

Last Friday we got a really nice review piece in the York Evening Press about our VuVuzella-based burglar alarm system – under the *hilarious* headline “Horn Supremacy”!!!

Check out the story below (or here on Flickr) and get involved with the Ultimate Alarm Project here!

Happy New Year + let’s keep crime down!

chris — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 16:50:11 +0000

A quick note to you all to wish you a happy Christmas and new year! For most Christmas is a period for family and fun. Whilst indulging in some TV in the last few days I came across a new government ad campaign called “Let’s keep crime down” providing tips on how best avoid being burgled over the Christmas period.

To check out the government tips, visit: www.direct.gov.uk/letskeepcrimedown

As an anecdote, our team have been doing our bit to keep burglaries at bay over Christmas – with at least one burglar successfully stopped in his tracks by one of our monitored alarm systems.

Christmas burglar alarm offers

chris — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 12:26:20 +0000

In the run up to Christmas, as evenings draw in, burglaries tend to increase as less people are on the streets and the dark gives an increase in cover for burglars to get-away.

So to help we’re offering a special offer of £295 for the installation of the system and monthly monitoring charges of £11.90. (all these costs are exclusive of VAT).

The key things to note about our prices are not only that they’re low – but also that we don’t have any hidden costs or complicated lengthy contracts – unlike our competitors.

Our deal is simple – based around a minimum 1 year contract, and with a 3 month cancellation period. You couldn’t ask better than that!

If you’d like an automated quote, check out our monitored alarm quote generator. Or if you’d like to see how our alarm systems work then check out our How our alarms work page.

If you’d like to get in touch with our team, then contact us direct: Call 0845 833 8823 or Email info@alarm-monitoring.co.uk

An alternative alarm idea – billiard balls!

chris — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 18:56:38 +0000

We hear about different whacky burglar stories all the time, however this one beats them all. A story about how a woman in Texas fought off would-be burglars using billiard balls and shouting “death from above!”.

Check the story here from CBS

Am not sure we’d recommend this as a monitored burglar alarm alternative – but it’s definitley a low cost option . . .
