WHY THIS APPROACH MAKES SENSE

Make every inspection
do more for your property.

Physical inspections, photographic reports and monitored video verification each serve a different purpose. Combining them gives the person responsible for the property more information and a clear plan for action.

01
INCLUDED

Spot problems that need a visit.

Leaks, damp, visible damage and insecure access need physical checks. Regular inspections help you identify issues and record what needs attention, so you can arrange the next step.

See the condition, with evidence.
02
ONE INCLUDED OPTION

Have alarm activations verified.

When the device activates, it sends images or footage for an operator to verify. The monitoring team then follows your agreed contact and escalation instructions.

See the purpose of video verification.
03
OPTIONAL · CHARGED SEPARATELY

Have a plan when help is needed.

You should know who will be contacted and what can happen next. Agree your instructions in advance, with the option of officer attendance when authorised. Attendance is charged separately.

Arrange the response before an alert.

THE REASON TO COMBINE THEM

Your inspection budget.
Working harder.

A visit gives you a condition check. A report gives you evidence. Monitored video verification allows an operator to check images or footage received with an alarm activation. On a qualifying plan, one alert option comes within your standard inspection price. Choosing both is a small additional charge, confirmed in your quotation.

BEFORE YOU ARRANGE COVER

A few practical
questions.

01702 416201
What is included in the inspection price?

Your agreed inspection service includes a full photographic report. On a qualifying plan, one alert option is included at no additional charge: intruder video verification, with the loan and installation of one battery-powered device, 24/7 alert monitoring, SIM/data and removal, or a flood alert for an agreed indoor or outdoor location instead. Choosing both is a small additional charge, confirmed in your quotation.

What makes a property eligible?

The offer is for properties in England with at least one paid inspection each week over a minimum 26-week term. Equipment availability, safe installation and suitable mobile coverage must be confirmed. Both private owners and business customers can apply.

Does the device need power or broadband?

It is battery powered and uses mobile connectivity, so it needs neither mains electricity nor your own internet connection. Positioning and signal coverage are checked before installation. One device covers the agreed detection area.

Is someone watching the camera continuously?

Monitoring teams review images or footage associated with received alerts, day and night. Video verification is alert-based; it does not mean an operator continuously watches the property or that every area is covered.

Is security response included in the price?

Officer attendance is an optional, separately charged service. The customer or nominated contact is called first after a verified intrusion alert. Any attendance follows the authorisation and escalation instructions agreed in advance. Coverage and response arrangements are confirmed for your property.

Can the reports support our insurance requirements?

They provide a documented record of inspections, findings and photographs. Tell us the visit frequency and checks required by your insurer so we can agree an appropriate scope. Acceptance remains subject to your policy and insurer’s requirements.

Can you look after several vacant properties?

Yes. We can discuss an inspection schedule and reporting arrangements across a portfolio, with suitability and device coverage assessed for each property. Ask for a quotation covering your locations.
