A survey by Zurich Insurance found that one-third of people ignore ringing home alarms. They are not bothered, or they assume that someone else will deal with the problem.
With a monitored alarm, if your alarm is triggered, the monitoring system gets an instant message from your security system. Depending on the monitoring option you have chosen, you, your nominated keyholders and/or the emergency services will be contacted immediately.
Garda response to alarms: Under the Garda’s Intruder Alarm Policy, the gardaí will not attend in the case of alarms from non-monitored systems unless there is first-hand evidence of a crime, whether this comes from an owner or a member of the public.
