    With remote monitoring, any would-be intruder is deterred by our signage – they know that your property is monitored even if you’re not home. When you are home you can sleep easy, knowing that we respond to all alarms in seconds. Whether it’s burglary, fire or flood.

    How we keep you safe


    Our monitored alarm system is designed to spot the smallest amount of smoke, the tiniest leak and any attempt to force a window. When a sensor is triggered we respond immediately.

    Our team reviews your camera images, including night‑time footage, to confirm what has happened. If needed, we contact the emergency services and provide the photo evidence they require.

    If there is an intruder, we can verify it through the cameras. And through our two‑way portable voice units, our alarm monitoring services can speak to you directly to guide you out of the property if needed.

    Frequently asked questions about 24/7 monitoring

    What is alarm monitoring?

    Alarm monitoring is a service where trained professionals respond when an alarm activates, verify what is happening and take action rather than relying on the homeowner to respond. 

    How quickly does PhoneWatch respond when an alarm goes off?

    PhoneWatch has an average alarm response time of 15 seconds, allowing incidents to be assessed and handled quickly.

    Is a monitored alarm better than a DIY alarm system?

    Monitored alarms provide human response and escalation, while DIY systems rely on app notifications and the homeowner being available to act. 

    Does alarm monitoring cover fire and other emergencies?
    Yes.  Alarm monitoring can cover burglary, fire, smoke and other emergency alerts when the appropriate detectors, such as smoke alarms or water leak detectors, are installed.
    How much does alarm monitoring cost in Ireland?

    The cost of alarm monitoring depends on the system and level of protection chosen. PhoneWatch provides monitored house alarm packages tailored to individual homes.
