    You now have to get an intruder alarm properly installed and set up by a registered alarm installer. Owners of buildings can be prosecuted for not conforming to this law. DIY intruder alarms are basically a non runner because the installers will want to supply and fit their own devices, not a 3rd party kit bought by a member of the general public.

    There is nothing stopping a private home owner doing whatever the hell they want to their own property.

    One thing to be conscious of, however, is that it may not satisfy insurance company conditions.

    Commercial and business premises maybe, but private dwellings are outside of this law.

    Insurance will obviously give a better discount for monitored alarms. They only have 2 distinctions, 1. Standard alarm and 2. Monitored alarm.

    I think it is standard alarm installed by professional or registered person . I looked at one of these but was no insurance discount for it.

    Work colleague Installed a Yale alarm he purchased in B&Q ... when filling out house insurance renewal he said he a non monitored alarm. House broken into and insurance company wouldn’t pay out because it wasn’t installed by registered security company.
    Any excuse for them not to pay out , same way if you say you have an alarm installed and you are robbed and alarm wasn’t turned on they will try to say cover was void because you didn’t turn on alarm.
