Built around the way you live
Part-setting can make a big difference to how useful a home alarm is. For example, you may want to protect downstairs while you're in bed without setting the alarm across the whole house.
The same applies when other people need access while you're out, such as family members, cleaners or dog walkers. These are things worth discussing before the system is specified so the alarm works around the way the household actually operates.
Pets are another important consideration. Detection can be specified with pets in mind, so tell us about any pets that move around the property before we design the system.
Monitored intruder alarms
For homeowners who want a response beyond an alarm sounding at the property, Archer Security can install monitored intruder alarm systems with options including keyholder response and Level 1 Police Response systems.
A monitored alarm communicates with an Alarm Receiving Centre so an activation can be acted on according to the response arrangement set up for the system.
The appropriate monitoring and response arrangement depends on the property and requirements, so Archer Security will discuss the options as part of designing the alarm system.
Archer Security is SSAIB certificated and can install monitored intruder alarm systems for residential properties.
Bells-only, monitored, or straight to your phone
A bells-only alarm sounds locally when it activates. Some home alarm systems can also send notifications directly to your phone, so you can be alerted when the system activates.
A monitored alarm connects to an Alarm Receiving Centre, where an activation can be handled according to the agreed response arrangement.
There are differences in cost, setup and ongoing commitment between the options. We'll explain what's available and what each option actually gives you, rather than simply pushing you towards the most expensive system.
Things worth mentioning when you call
- Roughly how many entrances and downstairs rooms the property has
- Whether you have pets that move around the house
- Whether there's an existing alarm system and what condition it's in
- Whether anyone regularly comes in while you're out, such as family, cleaners or dog walkers
- Whether you are interested in a bells-only or monitored system
- Whether you want different parts of the house to be protected independently
Home alarm installation from survey to setup
We start by looking at the property and talking through what you want from the alarm.
From there, Archer Security specifies the system and provides a bespoke quotation based on the property and your requirements.
If you decide to proceed, we supply and professionally install the system we've specified.
Archer Security doesn't operate as a labour-only installer for alarm equipment bought elsewhere.
The initial survey is free and there's no obligation to proceed.

Already have an alarm system?
You don't necessarily need a completely new installation to speak to Archer Security.
We also service and maintain suitable existing alarm systems, including systems originally installed by another company.
We'll need to assess the existing system first so we can understand its condition and whether it's suitable to take on.
