I'm coming to the end of a house build and will be moving in soon. I'm looking at alarms systems for the house. I want a monitored system and don't have the skills or time to install it myself. I am not a fan of Phonewatch - the fact that in my current accommodation I was easily able to negotiate a €15 a month deduction in their fee is a minus, not a plus in my book - but it seems to be what most people in my area use. I would be interested in any advice about other companies such as Homesecure and Action24? All views /advice gratefully appreciated.
