Accreditation isn't a badge on a webpage. It's what determines whether your insurer accepts a claim, and whether the police respond to your alarm.

WHY THIS MATTERS TO YOU

Accreditation drives police response — and insurance payouts.

Without an NSI-accredited ARC, many UK police forces will not respond to your alarm activations. Many commercial insurers also require monitoring by an NSI-approved centre as a condition of cover.
