But there is more…
What you need to know about the police control room
Many providers try to persuade you to choose their alarm system because they claim it is connected to the police control room. Unfortunately, this is not true!
As a private individual, you will never be connected to a government agency that includes the police.
If there is no notification to the police anyway, it immediately becomes a lot less interesting to pay monthly for an alarm system.
But where will the system be connected to? That is a private monitoring centre.
With any luck, it will call you if there is a break-in. We deliberately say with a bit of luck, because our experience is that in 8 out of 10 times even that call doesn’t happen.
Indeed, if a burglar uses a Jammer, and your alarm system has no Jamming detection, no notification will arrive at the monitoring station at all!
As a result, the chances of you being called are reduced to 0, and the added value of a monitoring station is also completely lost. You are then unaware of an actual break-in.
The next time a salesperson or representative tells you that their alarm system is connected to the police, you will know that this person is blatantly lying!
