The following is a comprehensive A-Z guide of all the types of alarm systems installed in houses / properties across the UK. If you’ve got an old burglar alarm system, then you can use this list to check what make it is and how to get your old alarm system fixed, serviced, updated or replaced.

What alarm system do I have?

The easiest way to tell what type of alarm system you have installed – if it’s not clear what type of alarm system you have – is to look at design of the keypad (or central alarm box) and match it against the comprehensive alarm system list below.
