More than 250,000 burglaries were recorded in England and Wales in the year ending December 2024, so the best burglar alarm system in the UK is one that combines professional installation, reliable detection, and a credible response process. An app-only alarm may notify you, but it doesn't automatically provide monitoring, verification, or police response. Crime…
Recorded crime in England and Wales reached 6.7 million offences in the year ending March 2024, making professional CCTV installation a justified necessity rather than a luxury. That figure was 4.2 million in the year ending March 2015, a rise of about 59.5% over roughly a decade. For property owners and business managers in Cardiff,…

The College of Policing says CCTV reduces crime by an average of 13% where it is installed, compared with areas without it. For homeowners and businesses in South Wales and the South West,…
