An AMCO alarm that does more than make noise
A bells-only alarm depends on a passer-by caring enough to call the police. Ours is monitored from our own Alarm Receiving Centre, so trained operators act the moment it activates, day or night.
LiveTalk audio response
Our operators can speak directly through your system to challenge an intruder in real time. A live human voice is a far stronger deterrent than a siren, and it's built into every monitored system we install.
Monitored 24/7
Every activation reaches our own UK control room, staffed around the clock. We assess it, check the property, and escalate to your keyholders or the police as needed, so you're never relying on chance.
At AMCO, you're not a ticket number in a call centre. From your first call to your installed system, you deal with the same local team who know your area and your premises. Here's who's looking after you.
MEET THE TEAM — Birmingham
Syed Arsalan Hassan
Syed is your first point of contact and the person who will handle your case. He carries out a free, quote, works out exactly what level of protection your property needs, and gives you a clear, fixed price with no jargon and no pressure. His job isn't to sell you the biggest system. It's to recommend the right one, and to make sure you understand precisely what you're getting and why.
