An alternative to Banham alarms
Banham is a well-known, longer-established name in UK security, often perceived as a more premium, corporate option. AMCO offers a genuine alternative as a family-owned, independent company, with two-way audio monitoring through LiveTalk and more flexible contract terms.

Where AMCO fits differently
Family-owned and independent
Banham is a well-established, longer-standing name in UK security, often associated with a more premium, corporate feel. AMCO is a family-owned, independent company, and that shapes a more personal way of working with customers.
Why AMCOTwo-way audio monitoring
AMCO's LiveTalk monitoring uses two-way audio at the alarm itself, so our operators can listen in and speak on an activation before deciding what happens next, rather than relying solely on a call-back approach.
How LiveTalk worksMore flexible contracts
AMCO tends to offer shorter minimum contract terms and notice periods than larger, longer-established providers, so you're not tied in for longer than you need to be.
