SAFETY
Why Liverpool Homes Need Burglar Alarms
83%
Burglars check for alarms before breaking in
60%
Would abandon target if alarm present
300%
More likely to be burgled WITHOUT an alarm
According to research from the University of North Carolina (surveying 422 convicted burglars), homes without alarm systems are targeted far more often than protected properties.
The visible presence of an alarm box and siren acts as an immediate deterrent. Most burglars are opportunistic amateurs, not professional criminals they want easy, quick targets with minimal risk.
Insurance Discount Available:
Most Liverpool insurers offer 5-15% premium reduction with a professionally installed, NSI/SSAIB certified alarm system. On a £500 annual premium, that's £25-75/year savings!

RELIABILITY
What If My WiFi Goes Down?
The #1 concern about wireless alarms and here's why it's NOT a problem with Ajax.
1
Dual-Path Connectivity
Ajax Hub Plus connects via WiFi + Ethernet + Dual GSM SIM cards. If your WiFi drops, it automatically switches to 4G mobile data. If one network fails, the backup takes over instantly.
2
Military-Grade Radio Protocol
Ajax sensors communicate with the hub using 868MHz Jeweller wireless protocol(not your WiFi network). They have a range of up to 2,000m in open space. Your alarm works even if WiFi is completely offline.
3
Anti-Jamming Protection
Unlike cheap 433MHz systems, Ajax uses encrypted anti-jamming technology. If someone tries to block the signal, you're notified immediately via push notification.
4
12-Hour Backup Battery
Power cut? No problem. Ajax Hub has a built-in battery that lasts up to 12 hours. Your home stays protected even during extended outages.
Why This Matters:
Cheap wireless alarms rely solely on WiFi. If your router fails, the alarm can't alert you. Ajax's triple-path connectivity (WiFi + Ethernet + Dual 4G) means your protection never drops even if broadband goes down!
HOW TO STOP BURGLARS
What Security Do Burglars Hate Most?
We studied research from the University of North Carolina, where 422 convicted burglars revealed what makes them abandon a target.
1
Loud External Sirens (120dB)
Ajax StreetSiren produces 113dB — louder than a chainsaw. Burglars quoted: "I would try and turn it off or get the hell out of there." They hate drawing attention.
2
Visible Alarm Boxes
83% of burglars check for alarms before attempting entry. 60% abandon the target if they see one. The visible alarm box is your first line of defense.
3
Photo Verification (Ajax MotionCam)
Ajax MotionCam takes a burst of photos when triggered and sends them to your phone instantly. You know EXACTLY who triggered the alarm — not a false alarm from a spider or draft.
4
Professional Monitoring
Burglars know that monitored alarms mean faster police response. Many quoted: "If there was an alarm, I would find another house." Professional monitoring available from £12/month.
5
Big Barking Dogs
Burglar quote: "Dogs are a deal breaker for me. Big breeds, home protectors are the best to keep people out." Our pet-friendly PIRs detect humans while ignoring dogs up to 25kg.
Bottom line:
Homes without alarms are 300% more likely to be burgled. Don't be an easy target.
INSTALLATIONS
Burglar Alarms for Liverpool Properties
Different Liverpool properties have different security needs. Here's what we recommend:
Victorian/Edwardian Terraces (Aigburth, Sefton Park, Wavertree)
Security challenges: Multiple entry points (front, rear, side alley), accessible bay windows, shared rear yards via back entries.
Best system: Ajax Premium (£799) — wireless install preserves period features, no cable damage to ornate coving. 3 PIRs recommended for larger rooms with high ceilings.
New Build Estates (Knotty Ash, Norris Green)
Security challenges: Open-plan layouts (fewer walls to hide behind), often built to budget with basic locks, visible from street.
Best system: Ajax Premium (£799) or Texecom Wired (£899 if installing during build/renovation). Motion sensors cover multiple zones in open-plan spaces.
City Centre Apartments (L1, L2, L3)
Security challenges: Landlord restrictions on drilling/cables, limited entry points (good!), shared building access.
Best system: Ajax Essential (£649) portable, discrete, no landlord issues. Perfect for renters who want protection without permanent installation.
Suburban Detached (Woolton, Allerton, Crosby)
Security challenges: Large 4-5 bed properties, multiple access points (front, rear, garage, conservatory), higher value = insurance requirements.
Best system: Texecom Professional (£899) Grade 2/3 compliant for insurance, expandable to 64 zones, maximum reliability for high-value properties.
Student Properties (L6, L7, L15)
Security challenges: High tenant turnover, multiple bedrooms = multiple users, landlord needs flexibility, budget constraints.
Best system: Ajax Essential (£649) multi-user app access, portable if property sold, affordable for landlords protecting multiple properties.
High Burglary Risk Postcodes in Liverpool
L6 (Kensington, Fairfield), L7 (Edge Hill), L8 (Toxteth), L13 (Old Swan), L15 (Wavertree). Many insurers in these areas require professional alarm systems for coverage. We can provide NSI/SSAIB certification for insurance claims.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Burglar Alarm Questions Answered
How much does it cost to have a burglar alarm fitted in Liverpool?
01
Professional burglar alarm installation in Liverpool costs from £649 (Ajax Essential wireless) to £899 (Texecom Professional wired). Our most popular package is Ajax Premium at £799, which includes photo verification, dual-path connectivity, and smart home integration. All prices include full NICEIC-certified installation, user training, and 12-month warranty. Optional professional monitoring available from £42/month.
Which is better, wired or wireless burglar alarms?
02
For most Liverpool homes, we recommend wireless Ajax systems (£649-799). They install in 4-6 hours vs 1-2 days for wired, have cleaner aesthetics, and offer better smart features including photo verification and app control. Wired Texecom systems (£899) offer maximum reliability and are required for Grade 3 insurance compliance. Choose wired if your insurer requires it or you want hardwired certainty. Both are pet-friendly and professional-grade.
Can burglar alarms be controlled by smartphone?
03
Yes! All our systems (Ajax and Texecom) include smartphone app control. Ajax offers the most advanced app with photo verification, activity history, multiple user management, and smart home integration with Alexa and Google Home. You can arm/disarm, receive instant alerts, view photos from MotionCam sensors, and check battery levels all from anywhere in the world with internet connection.
Are burglar alarms pet-friendly?
04
Absolutely. All modern alarm systems have pet-immune PIR sensors that ignore animals up to 25kg (55lbs). Perfect for cats and small-medium dogs like Yorkies, Pugs, Beagles, Cocker Spaniels, and Border Collies. The sensors use dual-element technology and pattern recognition to distinguish between your pet's movement and a human intruder. Large dogs over 25kg may need alternative sensor placement ceiling-mounted or door contacts only.
What if my WiFi goes down?
05
Ajax Premium systems have triple-path connectivity: WiFi + Ethernet + Dual 4G SIM cards. If your WiFi drops, the system automatically switches to mobile data. The sensors communicate via 868MHz radio frequency (not your WiFi), so they work independently. Power cuts are covered by a 12-hour backup battery. Your protection never drops, even if Liverpool broadband fails. This is why we recommend Ajax over budget systems that rely solely on WiFi.
Do burglars avoid houses with alarms?
06
Research shows 83% of burglars check for alarm systems before attempting entry, and 60% abandon targets with visible alarms. Homes without alarms are 300% more likely to be burgled according to University of North Carolina studies. Burglars particularly hate loud external sirens (120dB), visible alarm boxes, photo verification cameras, and professional monitoring. The visible presence of an Ajax StreetSiren or Texecom bell box acts as an immediate deterrent.
How long does burglar alarm installation take?
07
Wireless systems (Ajax) take 4-6 hours and can be completed same day. We mount the hub, install PIR sensors and door contacts, position keypads and sirens, program the system, connect to WiFi/4G, and provide full user training all in one visit. Wired systems (Texecom) take 1-2 days due to cable routing through walls and floors. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your Liverpool home or business.
What's the difference between Ajax and cheap wireless alarms?
08
Ajax systems comply with British Standards BS EN 50131 for alarm systems, ensuring Grade 2 certification required by most insurers.Ajax uses military-grade Jeweller encryption (868MHz) with anti-jamming protection, dual-path connectivity (WiFi + 4G backup), and 7-year battery life. Budget systems often use basic 433MHz frequency (easily jammed), WiFi-only connection (fails if router drops), and 1-2 year battery life. Ajax MotionCam provides photo verification to confirm threats. Most importantly, Ajax is Grade 2 certified for insurance compliance budget systems typically aren't. You get what you pay for in security.

David M · Wavertree
★★★★★
Had Ajax Premium installed last month after a break-in attempt on our Victorian terrace in Aigburth. The MotionCam photos are brilliant, I can see exactly what triggered it. Installation took 5 hours, totally painless. Wish we'd done it years ago.
Sarah T · Wavertree
★★★★★
We have 3 rental properties in Wavertree and fitted Ajax Essential on all of them. Tenants love the app control, we love the multi-user access and notifications. Already prevented one attempted break-in the outdoor siren scared them off instantly.
Michael T · Woolton
★★★★★
Insurance company required Grade 2 alarm for our Woolton home. Went with Texecom wired, absolutely bombproof system. Engineers were professional, cables completely hidden, keypad looks quality. Worth every penny for peace of mind.
