Report
I recently moved to the Trowbridge area and there was an old alarm system installed within the property. I called the AlertSystems security service department and spoke to an extremely helpful and friendly lady named Shanon. Our Alarm was making a noise when the door opened and she quickly diagnosed the issue and told us how to stop this from driving us mad! She also explained what services and plans they offer, this is definitely something we will look at/consider once we are settled.

Shop around, we've paid 1000s for a system that works, but doesn't do all we want it to do. Poor advice given. We've bought our lease outright now just to get away from Alert. Better companies out there. Do your homework.

We paid 10s of thousands of pounds for so called comprehensive system and really got not much more than what an ebay system could offer.System was fitted 3 months ago and so far engineer has been out 4 times.Also if you are interested in purchasing please ask the sales rep what there fault response time is because 48 hours just for a call back is extremely poor and most of the time that call never comes.
personally i would avoid these as you really do not get what you have paid for and backup is pretty much non existent.
