Pros and cons
Pros
- Entry price of £15 sits under Aqara at £36.98 and Annke at $19.99.
- The catalogue covers alarm, camera and smart lock alongside lighting, plug and hub, so security kit and smart home kit can be ordered together.
- Power options run battery, wired and poe, so a battery setup and a wired install can both be covered in the same order.
- Support runs on email and phone, and the returns window is 14 days.
- Ecosystem coverage names alexa, google and homekit, so kit can join setups a household already runs.
Cons
- Matter certified is no, so anyone building a home around that standard should choose a certified brand instead.
- Resolution caps at 2k, which is short of the detail some buyers expect from a camera only specialist.
- The model is diy, so alarm panels and cameras arrive for the buyer to fit and no installer is included.
- Delivery is listed only for GB and IM, so shoppers outside those markets should check coverage before ordering.
Who it suits
- Households in the GB that want cameras, video doorbells, locks and alarm kit in the same order.
- Buyers who fit their own kit, since the model is diy and power runs battery, wired and poe.
- Shoppers already running alexa, google and homekit, who can keep new devices inside platforms they own.
Who should look elsewhere
- Aqara, whose entry price of £36.98 sits higher, for readers who would rather have that catalogue.
- Annke, at $19.99, for anyone shopping for a different starting point to £15.
- The Home Security Superstore, at $13.95, for buyers whose priority is the lowest opening figure in the group.
Who runs it
Smart & Secure Centre is the trading name of EasyGates Limited, a company registered in the GB. It has traded since 2020, so it is a recent name in home security rather than a retailer with a long trading record. Buying runs direct: orders go to the company, with no installer or third party seller in between, and products are picked from a catalogue rather than designed as a system. After purchase, help runs on email and phone, so a question goes by email or by phone to the same team. Because the seller is registered in the GB, the contract, the returns window and the support promise all sit with a single company in a single jurisdiction.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Smart & Secure Centre charge for its kit?+
Cameras, doorbells, locks and alarm kits start at £15, which puts the brand at position 7 of the 70 brands ranked on price. The cost part of the score reads 9.8, and the overall score reads 9.2.
What can I buy from Smart & Secure Centre?+
The security side covers alarm, camera and smart lock, and the smart home side adds lighting, plug and hub. That mix lets a household order a camera, a video doorbell, a lock and an alarm panel together, then add lighting, plugs, hubs, sensors and a thermostat from the same supplier.
Which smart home platforms does the kit work with?+
Devices are listed against alexa, google and homekit, so Alexa, Google, HomeKit, Matter and SmartThings setups are all named as options. The radio side covers matter, thread and zigbee, which gives flexibility on how cameras, sensors and locks reach the hub a household already owns.
Is Smart & Secure Centre Matter certified?+
Matter certified is no. The catalogue does list Matter among matter, thread and zigbee and among alexa, google and homekit, so buyers should treat that as declared support rather than a certification, and check a certified brand when formal approval matters to the setup.
Do I need an installer for the cameras and alarm kit?+
The model is diy, so fitting is left to the buyer, and power options run battery, wired and poe to cover battery and wired placements. Anyone expecting an installer to call out should budget for that separately before ordering an alarm kit.
Where does Smart & Secure Centre sell and deliver?+
The listed markets are GB and IM, and the company is registered in the GB. Buyers outside those markets should confirm delivery before ordering, since support and returns are handled from the GB side of the business.
What is the returns policy?+
Returns run under a 14 day money back window set out in the terms. Because support runs on email and phone only, a return starts with a call or an email to the same team that sold the kit.
How sharp are the cameras?+
Cameras top out at 2k in the specification list, which covers general room and doorway coverage rather than fine detail at distance. Resolution is worth weighing against how far you expect to identify faces, since the cap applies across the cameras the store lists.
