What Is a Smart Alarm System?
A smart alarm system is a home security system you can monitor and control from a smartphone app, combining connected devices such as sensors, cameras and smart plugs with intruder, fire and emergency protection.
A PhoneWatch smart alarm system links your sensors, cameras and smart plugs to our app, with 24/7 professional monitoring behind every alert. Connected convenience, backed by a certified Alarm Receiving Centre.
This is the key distinction for Irish homeowners: a self-monitored smart device only notifies you. A professionally monitored smart alarm system means trained operators act on the alert and coordinate the Gardaí or emergency services if needed, even when you cannot.

What Makes a PhoneWatch Alarm System Smart?
A PhoneWatch smart alarm system is more than connected devices. It pairs everyday app control and home automation with the assurance of professional monitoring - so your home is convenient to manage and genuinely protected.
Smart, app-managed control. Arm and disarm your system, check who is home, review alarm history and see live or on-demand images from your cameras.
Connected automation. Use smart plugs to control heaters, lamps and appliances remotely, and set automations that fit your daily routine.
Always-on awareness. Receive notifications if a door or window is left open when leaving the house, or if PhoneWatch detects unusual changes in temperature or humidity.
Professional monitoring behind it all. Unlike self-monitored smart devices, every PhoneWatch smart alarm system is monitored 24/7 by a certified Alarm Receiving Centre.
The PhoneWatch App puts you in control
The PhoneWatch App is the control centre of your smart alarm system - manage protection, automation and alerts from anywhere.
Stay informed if doors are left open when you leave home, get alerts for changes in temperature or humidity, and monitor who is at home or who has left - all from the app. The keypad notifies you with a sound when a door or window is opened, keeping you aware if someone has entered your property.
Control your electrical equipment
Control heaters, lamps and appliances from anywhere using the PhoneWatch App, adding convenience to your daily routine. Switch your coffee pot on before you get out of bed or come home, or use smart plugs for home automation.
Self-Monitored vs Professionally Monitored Smart Alarm System
Many smart home devices only send notifications to your phone. A PhoneWatch smart alarm system is professionally monitored - the difference is who responds when it matters.
