A rundown of the main monitored home alarm providers available to Hawk's Bay residents — both the big nationwide names and installers based locally in Wicklow. All are worth comparing on contract length, response time and whether they're PSA-licensed (see the tip at the bottom).

A few practical tips
- Check for PSA licensing. Anyone installing or monitoring alarms in Ireland must hold a licence from the Private Security Authority — ask for the licence number before signing up, or check the PSA's public register.
- Compare monitoring response, not just install price. A cheap install with slow or no live monitoring response isn't much of a deterrent — ask exactly what happens when the alarm triggers (who's called, in what order, and how fast).
- Ask about contract length and exit terms — some monitored plans lock you in for 3–5 years; understand what happens if you move house or want to switch provider.
- Mention it to your home insurer — a monitored alarm from a PSA-licensed provider typically earns a 10–20% discount on home insurance premiums.
- Prices and offers change — the details above are correct as of mid-2026; always confirm current pricing and contract terms directly with the provider.
