Monitored alarms across the UK

So, at the moment as a I'm helping my father's company (the alarm monitoring company), which has been a bit of a slow process, largely as I've been doing it my spare time.

Anyway, so far I've managed to update his monitored security website, and developed some videos on YouTube that explain how monitored alarms work.

So far the strategy seems to be working, as sales have started flooding(ish) in - with sales of his monitored burglar alarms coming in fast and furious. Here's a quick breakdown of the different places people have asked for quotes for his specialist monitored security:
- Monitored alarms in London
- Monitored alarms in Leeds
- Monitored alarms in York
- Monitored alarms in Birmingham
- Monitored alarms in Manchester
- Monitored alarms in Bristol
- Monitored alarms in Newcastle
- Monitored alarms in Leicester

Success at last, as my father flogs monitored security across the UK!

Monitored alarm - security tips

According to the UK Government's British Crime Survey,
break-ins increased by four per cent between July and September last
year compared to the previous year, just as the economy went in to
meltdown.

There were 69,700 burglaries during the third quarter of last year - up four per cent on the same period in 2007.

There were also 4,207 robberies involving knives - a rise of 18 per
cent - and 43,800 offences of fraud and forgery, up 16 per cent.

With unemployment on the increase, especially amongst young people, this is not unexpected news. Other than buying a monitored alarm from the Alarm Monitoring company
(which is obviously the best way to protect you and your home from
burglary), here are a couple of additional tips to secure your home:

- Make sure your home always appears occupied, even when you're not
in. For example, you could fit automatic timers to some of your lights
in your house, or leave the hall lights on when you go out (though this
isn't so good for the environment!)

- Don't leave windows open when you go out. This may seem an
obvious tip, however the number of people who get burgled because they
leave a window open an inch when they're out is extremely high. Always
remember to lock all windows (however small) when leaving the house.

- Fit obscured glass, or install shutters, on your front windows, so
people can't look into your house. This is especially important for
terraced houses that look directly out on to the street. If it's easy
for a burglar to see into your house, and spot something they'd like to
steal.

As mentioned, beyond these quick tips on how to increase security around your house, we'd always recommend fitting a monitored alarm, as with an AMCO interactive monitored burglar alarm you will always have someone seconds away to be at hand to help you. See one of demo videos here
