24/7 Professional Monitoring
Continuous monitoring through our Alarm Receiving Centre, with immediate response coordination and rapid escalation procedures.
Rapid Police Notification
Confirmed intrusions trigger immediate police response through professionally monitored alarm systems.
Fully Integrated Security
Alarm systems unified with CCTV, gates and access control for coordinated protection and improved estate security.
Specialist Residential Intruder Alarm System Design & Installation
Every monitored alarm system begins with a detailed site survey and risk assessment. We evaluate estate boundaries, access points and vulnerable elevations to design layered, perimeter-focused protection that detects intrusion before entry. Installation is completed with discretion and precision, ensuring minimal visual impact and compliance with NSI Gold standards.
Using state-of-the-art Texecom systems, we deliver intelligently verified protection tailored to your estate. Integrated with CCTV and wider security infrastructure, our monitored solutions provide priority response and complete reassurance — whether at home or abroad.

From security assessment through monitoring centre integration — every element designed for verified professional response.
Security Assessment & Zone Design
We conduct property-specific vulnerability assessments to identify optimal sensor positioning. Monitoring centre integration is designed from the outset — including verification protocols, keyholder lists, and response procedures established during planning.
Verified Response Protocols
Monitoring centres verify threats before police contact when alarms trigger. Video verification through CCTV accelerates police response. Duress codes silently alert operators. Sequential verification filters false alarms whilst escalating genuine intrusions.
Wireless & Hybrid Installation
Modern wireless sensors eliminate visible cabling, with battery-powered operation lasting 3-5 years between changes — ideal for heritage properties. Hybrid systems combine wireless convenience with wired reliability where appropriate, using encrypted radio communication.
Pet-Friendly Detection
Advanced sensors distinguish your pets from intruders through size, heat signature, and movement patterns, allowing animals up to 40kg to roam freely without triggering alerts. Ceiling-mounted sensors provide pet immunity whilst maintaining comprehensive coverage.
Redundant Communication Paths
Dual-path communication ensures monitoring centres receive alerts even if broadband fails. Tamper detection alerts operators if communication is disrupted. Battery backup maintains operation during power cuts — typically 12–24 hours minimum.
Smart Control & Remote Access
Smartphone apps enable remote arming and disarming from anywhere, with instant notifications when your system is armed, disarmed, or triggered. Each family member gets an individual user code, and temporary codes can be issued to contractors.
Layered Detection Strategy
Perimeter sensors detect intruders before building entry — gates, garden doors, outbuildings. Entry protection on doors and windows with glass-break detection. Internal motion sensors provide backup. High-value area protection for safes and collections.
Integration With Security Systems
Alarm coordinates with CCTV, access control, lighting, and smart systems. “Leaving Home” arms alarm whilst activating recording and security lighting. Integration ensures your systems and monitored security work together as a unified defence.
Monitored Protection Throughout Your Property
Comprehensive intruder detection from perimeter to high-value areas — every zone monitored by professional response centres around the clock.
Perimeter
Detection
Monitoring centres receive perimeter breach alerts from sensors on gates, garden doors, garages, and outbuildings, enabling early response coordination before intruders reach main buildings.
Entry Point
Protection
Magnetic contacts and glass-break detectors on all accessible doors and ground-floor windows sense forced entry attempts and instantly notify the monitoring centre.
Internal Space
Detection
Motion sensors in hallways, staircases, and primary circulation routes that can be selectively activated based on occupancy. Pet-immune detection ignores household animals whilst identifying human intruders.
High-Value Area
Protection
Dedicated monitoring for safes, wine cellars, art collections, and valuable storage. Vibration sensors detect tampering, and send monitoring centres immediate alerts.
Ongoing Care for Your Alarm System
NSI-certified annual inspections and proactive maintenance ensure reliable protection, compliance and uninterrupted monitored alarm performance.
I have used Chris Lewis for a number of different fire, security and lighting automation projects and their service has always been first class.
Highly recommended!
James Irvine
I have never had any problem dealing with Chris Lewis since my alarm was installed in 2015. The recent maintenance visit was helpful as engineer Donald Aiken explained what he was doing and gave useful reminders on use of the kit.
Robert Dyson
Excellent service from Chris Lewis Ltd and products that are straightforward to use and meet our needs. The installation was really professional, and the engineer worked neatly so it looks as if the various units have always been there! Highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a monitored burglar alarm system cost?
Monitored burglar alarm systems typically range from £3,000 to £15,000+ depending on property size and complexity. A four-bedroom home with comprehensive coverage usually sits in the £5,000–8,000 range. Professional monitoring adds £20–50 monthly depending on service level.
Will a monitored burglar alarm reduce my home insurance premiums?
Yes. NSI Gold certified monitored installations typically qualify for 10–20% insurance reductions. Many insurers mandate monitored systems for properties over £750,000. Annual NSI inspections maintain compliance — failing to service alarms can invalidate coverage.
Can monitored alarms be installed in listed properties?
Yes. We’ve delivered systems in Grade I and Grade II listed properties using wireless sensors eliminating visible cabling. Surface-mounted components match architectural features. We handle conservation officer consultation, delivering comprehensive protection whilst respecting architectural integrity.
Will my pets trigger false alarms and monitoring centre alerts?
No. Modern pet-immune sensors distinguish pets from intruders through size, heat signature, and movement analysis. Household pets up to 40kg roam freely without triggering alarms. Professional calibration ensures reliable pet immunity, protecting monitoring centre confidence.
How does 24/7 professional monitoring work?
When alarms trigger, NSI Gold monitoring centres receive instant signals. Operators verify threats through keyholder contact and CCTV review. Genuine intrusions escalate to police with video evidence. False alarms are filtered before police contact, maintaining good standing.
What happens if internet or phone lines are cut?
Systems use dual-path communication — primary broadband signals with cellular backup. Tamper detection alerts monitoring centres if communication deliberately disrupted. Battery backup maintains 12–24 hour operation during power cuts, preventing single point failure.
Can I control monitored alarms remotely when travelling?
Yes. Smartphone apps enable remote arming, disarming, and real-time status monitoring from anywhere. Receive instant notifications with monitoring centre response updates. Temporary user codes allow trusted access whilst away with automatic expiry. Secure encrypted connections throughout.
How long does monitored alarm installation take?
Installation for a four-bedroom property typically requires 2–4 days depending on complexity. Wireless systems install faster with minimal disruption. Includes sensor positioning, monitoring centre integration, user programming, and comprehensive commissioning testing all zones and communication paths.
