Frequently asked questions
Do I need professional monitoring or is self-monitoring enough?
Self-monitoring via an app is free and fine for most households. Professional monitoring adds a monthly fee but gets a human response (and in some countries, faster police or armed-response dispatch) when you can't answer.
Will a security system lower my home insurance premium?
Often yes — many insurers discount 2-15% for professionally installed and monitored alarms, but they usually require an approved installer or certificate, so ask your insurer before booking.
How much does it cost to install a home security system?
A basic wired or wireless alarm typically costs a few hundred dollars installed, while a 4-camera CCTV setup with recorder usually lands in the mid hundreds to low thousands depending on cabling difficulty and camera quality.
How long does a security system installation take?
A wireless alarm takes 2-4 hours. A wired 4-camera CCTV system typically takes a full day; 8+ cameras or multi-storey cabling can run to two days.
What's included in a typical CCTV quote?
Cameras, a recorder (NVR/DVR) or cloud plan, cabling and clips, power supplies, mounting, app setup, and a walkthrough. Check whether the hard drive, warranty, and follow-up support visits are included.
Is PSA licensing really mandatory in Ireland?
Yes. Installer companies must hold a PSA licence for intruder alarms and CCTV, and hiring an unlicensed installer can expose you to problems with insurance claims. Check the licence on the PSA register.
