Pros and cons

Pros

  • Alarms, cameras and smoke detectors under a single account: alarm, camera and smoke alarm with professional monitoring, where Annke at $19.99 and Aqara at £36.98 are priced as camera buys rather than a watched alarm.
  • Professional monitoring and installation are both part of the package, which suits anyone who does not want to fit sensors and wire a hub themselves.
  • A money back window of 15 days, so a monitored service can be tried before it becomes routine.
  • Monitoring reaches NO, SE and FI, more than a single home market for a brand based in France.
  • Support on email, chat and phone puts phone and chat next to email and a help centre, which matters when an alert arrives at night.

Cons

  • The €199 entry price sits well above camera hardware such as $13.95 at The Home Security Superstore and $19.99 at Annke.
  • A 12 month contract ranks 57 of 60 on length, and the €37.90 cloud plan is what keeps billing after the term.
  • A standalone camera is not among its product types (alarm, camera and smoke alarm), and installation is required, so there is no boxed device to fit and set up yourself.
  • Model is monitored, and self monitoring is not among the listed options, so there is no fallback path to a self-set system within this range.

Who it suits

  • Households in France and the wider monitoring area NO, SE and FI who want a watched alarm rather than a self-set camera.
  • Anyone who will not fit hardware themselves, since installation is required.
  • Buyers who want alarms, cameras and smoke detectors covered by a single provider and can live with a 12 month term.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Anyone starting on the smallest budget: The Home Security Superstore at $13.95 is a cheaper place to begin than a monitored alarm.
  • Short stays and rentals, because a 12 month term does not match a temporary home, while Annke at $19.99 is the straightforward camera buy.
  • Buyers after a camera rather than a system, since Aqara at £36.98 sits in the camera category and the 12 month term buys more than picture.

How it compares on our data

On our data, Sector Alarm sits at 66 of 70 for price, 49 of 51 for monthly monitoring and 57 of 60 for contract length. Read together, that is a package priced above the middle of the field, monitoring fees near the top of the range, and a contract that runs towards the long end. Buyers comparing like with like should remember that this is a monitored specialist rather than a value camera seller.

Core features

Product types run to alarm, camera and smoke alarm, so alarms, cameras and smoke detectors can be covered by a single provider instead of separate suppliers. Professional monitoring is included, which means an alert reaches a monitoring centre rather than only an app notification. Installation is required, so the hardware is fitted as part of the deal rather than self-mounted, and that is the main reason the entry price is not a straight comparison with a boxed camera.

Plans and prices

Entry price is €199 for the monitored system once it goes in, and that is the figure to set against a self-set camera budget. The running cost reads separately: €37.90 a month for professional monitoring, agreed over a 12 month term, so nothing is repriced part way through. Renewal is the line to watch. The cloud plan is €37.90 a month, the same figure as the monitoring charge, and it keeps running once the initial term is finished. Over a full term the monthly cost adds up faster than the entry figure suggests, so the monthly number is the real price of the system.

The company behind it

The legal entity is SECTOR ALARM SAS, based in France, which puts the operation squarely in the French market and shapes who the service is built for. Support runs on email, chat and phone, so a phone line and live chat sit alongside email and a help centre. That mix matters for a watched alarm, where the question is usually answered by a person rather than a form, and it is a wider set of channels than a small direct seller tends to offer.

Frequently asked questions

What does a Sector Alarm system cost to begin with?+

The entry price is €199, and that figure covers the monitored kit once it is installed rather than a boxed camera on a shelf. The arrangement is agreed over a 12 month term with €37.90 a month for professional monitoring across the term. The Free security audit and quote means a survey and quote come first.

What is the monthly cost once the first term is done?+

Monitoring runs at €37.90 a month, and the cloud plan is €37.90 a month, the same figure. Renewal is the number to plan for, because the entry price of €199 covers the hardware while the monthly line keeps going. Sector Alarm sits at 49 of 51 on monthly monitoring, near the top of the group.

Do I need someone to install the alarm?+

Installation is required, so the hardware is fitted as part of the deal rather than self-mounted. That is the trade for the €199 entry price, which covers an installed and watched system rather than a device on a shelf. Buyers who would rather plug in their own cameras and handle alerts themselves are shopping for a different kind of brand, and one that does not ask for 12 months.

Is there a money back period?+

There is a money back window of 15 days, which matters because a monitored alarm is a service as much as a box of hardware. It gives time to test detection around the home, check the app and confirm how alerts are handled before deciding to keep it. The Free security audit and quote can come earlier in the process.

Which countries does the monitoring cover?+

Professional monitoring covers NO, SE and FI, so a property outside France can still be served if the country is on that list. The company is registered in France and runs from there. Anyone elsewhere should check their country against the list before committing to a 12 month term, since moving means a new agreement.

What does the plan actually include?+

Product types cover alarm, camera and smoke alarm, so alarms, cameras and smoke detectors can all sit under a single provider. Professional monitoring is part of the package, which is the difference between alerts reaching a monitoring centre and alerts reaching only an app. The monitored model is the only model listed, and the cloud plan behind it is billed at €37.90 a month.

How good is the camera picture?+

Camera resolution tops out at 2k, and the cameras can be battery, wired and solar, so there is a choice of placement away from a socket. Resolution is a specification rather than a verdict on picture quality, so it is worth lining up against what the camera brands at $19.99 and £36.98 claim for the same money.

How do I reach support after an alarm?+

Support runs on email, chat and phone, covering phone, chat, email and a help centre. For a watched system the phone line matters most, because an activation or a false alarm needs a person rather than a form. Buyers who have dealt with providers that answer only by email will notice that difference, and it is worth checking before signing a 12 month term.
