What do you need to protect?

Apartments, houses, chalets, penthouses and second homes, with indoor and perimeter protection and control from your phone.

ARC connection

A connected alarm that alerts when it matters

The Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) receives the system signals 24 hours a day, verifies every activation and, if an intrusion is confirmed, alerts the police and your contact persons.

  • Dual GSM/LAN path: if one channel fails or is jammed, the alert goes out through the other.
  • Verification: by audio or image to rule out false alarms.
  • Phone control: arm, disarm and receive alerts wherever you are.
  • Anti-jamming: detects attempts to block communication.

Tips to keep your alarm always working

  • Learn to use it properly: knowing the keypad and app avoids most false alarms.
  • Do the annual maintenance: we check detectors, batteries and communications.
  • Tell us if you change doors or windows: detectors may need relocating.
  • Keep contacts up to date: the ARC must be able to reach you.

Choosing a local security company with a track record and its own technical service is as important as the equipment installed.

FAQ

Common questions about alarms

Which alarm is best for a home?

It depends on the home. In a flat, indoor wireless or hybrid protection connected to an ARC is usually enough; in a chalet we recommend adding perimeter protection and cameras. We define it after the site survey.

What is an ARC-connected alarm?

An alarm that sends its signals to an Alarm Receiving Centre, which verifies every alert 24 hours a day and notifies the police and your contacts if an intrusion is confirmed.

What is the difference between a wired and a wireless alarm?

A wired alarm uses concealed wiring and constant power, and is the most stable option. A wireless alarm communicates by radio, installs faster and is ideal when you want to avoid building work.

Do I need a Grade 3 alarm?

Grade 3 is mandatory for some premises (jewellers, financial institutions and other high-risk businesses) and advisable for companies with valuable stock. Homes usually need Grade 2.

Does the security survey cost anything?

No. We visit the property, analyse the risks and give you a tailored, no-obligation proposal.
