You're 4 times less likely to be burgled with a PhoneWatch alarm compared to the average national burglary rate. This is measured by taking the total PhoneWatch customer base divided by total PhoneWatch customers who have experienced a burglary (data from our Alarm Receiving Centre Q1 2025). This data is then compared to the national Irish burglary rate i.e. total Irish households (Census 2022) divided by total recorded burglaries. This information is taken from the latest CSO recorded crime data Q1 2025. This data is updated quarterly.

The total PhoneWatch customer base (122,979) divided by total number of PhoneWatch customers who have experienced a burglary in Q1 2025 (35). This gives a figure of 0.03%. This data is then compared to the national Irish burglary rate 0.10% i.e., total Irish households (taken from the 2022 census minus vacant dwellings) divided by total recorded burglaries of 2,124 at that time (in Q1 2025). This information is taken from the CSO recorded crime data. So, 0.10% divided by 0.03% brings us to a rounded up figure of 4 times less likely to be burgled with a PhoneWatch alarm compared to the national burglary rate.
