What's the difference between a monitored and unmonitored alarm?

Does my insurer require a monitored alarm?
Some insurers require a monitored alarm for higher-value contents or particular property types — check your policy wording. We can install to meet the standard your insurer specifies where you confirm the requirement.
Can I extend a listed building in East Grinstead town centre?
