Fire & Intruder Alarm Monitoring
Protect your home or business with round-the-clock peace of mind. Farsight’s remotely monitored intruder and fire alarm systems offer reliable protection against break-ins and emergencies.
Our monitoring services are approved by both insurers and police, ensuring that whenever an alarm is triggered, a trained professional is ready to respond swiftly and effectively.
Fire and Intruder Alarm Monitoring Services
Farsight’s alarm monitoring services offer round-the-clock protection for both residential and commercial properties across the UK. Whether you’re safeguarding your home or business, our remote monitoring ensures that any sign of intrusion or fire is detected and responded to without delay.
With our professionally monitored alarm systems, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that trained operators are always ready to act. In the event of an alarm activation, Farsight will quickly notify emergency services and your designated keyholders, minimising risk and reducing the chance of loss, damage, or disruption.
Alarm Monitoring for Commercial Properties
For offices, retail stores, warehouses, and other commercial premises, security after-hours is critical. Farsight’s alarm monitoring services ensure that your business is protected when keyholders are off-site.
If an intruder is detected or a fire is triggered, our operators respond immediately by contacting your listed keyholders and alerting the appropriate emergency services. With a Farsight-monitored system in place, you can be confident that any threat is dealt with swiftly and professionally.
Alarm Monitoring for Residential Properties
When you’re away from home, Farsight’s remote alarm monitoring services keep watch over your property. Our experienced operators ensure that any fire or unauthorised access triggers a rapid response.
If your alarm is activated, Farsight will notify:
- You or your nominated contacts
- Your designated keyholder
- Emergency services relevant to the incident
Whether it’s day or night, our alarm monitoring services ensure your home remains protected—even when you’re not there.

Fire and Intruder Visual Verification Service
For added peace of mind, our visual verification service enhances your security by combining fire and intruder alarm monitoring with live CCTV images from inside your premises. Paired with our CCTV monitoring services, this approach ensures your site is protected both inside and out.
As fire and police services in the UK increasingly require incidents to be visually verified before responding, this integrated solution is widely recognised as a highly effective multi-layered security approach, maximising alarm system efficiency and response speed.
Visual verification is becoming essential in determining what happens next after an alarm is triggered. By combining alarm signals with real-time CCTV footage, Farsight’s Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) can confirm genuine incidents, reduce false alarm call-outs, and support your URN status, ensuring your site receives the priority response it deserves.
