Hello!


I need some advice on alarms/ security system.


I have heard awful awful reviews on ADT.


Can anyone recommend an alarm company?


How do parents cope with children and alarms , how do you structure your system? as i still need to go to the kitchen in the middle of the night to get milk for my daughter if the alarm is activated how does this all work?

I am totally new to alarm systems but we really need one in the street we live in, its a quiet place!

Hello, we had an alarm fitted a few years ago and used Aardvark security, I don't have anything to compare him to price wise, but Tony is a lovely chatty guy and very knowledgeable. He's down in Kent but often in this area. we have an alarm panel upstairs and downstairs for that exact reason.

We have a system where you can put the 'home' setting on, so no-one can get in or out of windows and doors, but you can move around inside all the rooms. And then when we go out, we put the full system on with sensors. Which means a small person can't wander downstairs at night and set the whole thing off!


I also heard bad reviews of ADT, with their yearly maintenance fees. We used a local company - Home Security Services in Kirkdale, Sydenham, and they weren't too pricey and very helpful.

We have three modes on our alarm, full set, downstairs, and perimeter.


Downstairs only activates ground floor sensors, and perimeter only activates doors and windows etc.


Alarm was installed and is also maintained annually by First Protection who are brilliant. The alarm is also monitored for ?25 per month.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
