What happens when the monitoring centre detects an intruder?

The monitoring operator will first verify the event using your cameras. If an intruder is confirmed, they can issue an audio challenge through speakers, alert keyholders and, where applicable, dispatch police.

Is monitored CCTV more effective than a standalone system?

Significantly. Standalone CCTV records events for review after the fact. Monitored CCTV provides real-time response that can stop a crime in progress, making it far more effective as an active deterrent.

How much does CCTV monitoring cost?

Monitoring costs vary depending on the number of cameras and response level required. Contact us for a tailored quote based on your specific setup.

How long does installation typically take in a town property?

Most town property installations are completed in a single day. Terraced homes may be slightly quicker due to their compact layout, while larger detached properties may take a little longer. as recommended for the west malling part of West Malling where local knowledge matters most.

Will installation cause much disruption to my neighbours?

Very little. Our engineers work quietly and efficiently, and we always clean up after ourselves. If we need to work on shared boundaries, we'll discuss this with you in advance. as recommended for the west malling part of West Malling where local knowledge matters most.

Can a West Malling landlord monitor a rented property remotely?

Yes, provided cameras only cover the landlord's own external areas and tenants are informed the system exists. We help West Malling landlords set boundaries so tenant privacy is respected while the property stays protected.

What does a false alarm cost me under a West Malling monitoring contract?

Genuine AI-verified false alarms are rare and generally don't carry a charge, since the system is designed to filter routine movement before it ever reaches the operator.

How quickly can monitoring be switched on at an existing West Malling site?

Once the dual-path module is fitted and tested against the ARC, monitoring is typically live the same day. The physical fitting itself usually takes a couple of hours on an existing system.

Can you work around opening hours at our West Malling premises?

Yes. Most commercial work is done early, late or at weekends so trading is not interrupted. We agree the window at the survey and confirm it in the quote rather than assuming a normal working day.

Do you work with managing agents for West Malling buildings?

Yes. We provide an asset list, a written scope and scheduled visits, and we keep works clear of escape routes and fire safety equipment throughout. Residents get notice of any work that affects entry.

West Malling customers wanting proof of response as well as detection can request a monitoring log showing exactly when an event was reviewed and what action, if any, followed.
