How it works

What happens when the alarm goes off

From the moment the panel sends the signal until we call you, every step is handled by a person and logged.

  1. 1

    The alarm sends a signal

    The panel immediately sends the event to the centre, over phone line, internet or mobile.

  2. 2

    The centre receives it

    Our receivers log it and show it to the operator, with the zone and the type of event.

  3. 3

    The operator checks it

    They see the site's history and, if you have visual verification, your cameras at that moment.

  4. 4

    We call you

    We call you and the people you have given us, in the order you set.

  5. 5

    We notify the authorities

    When needed, we notify your local police station. Every action is logged.

FAQ

What you ask us most often

All questions
How much does the subscription cost?

The annual subscription depends on the connection method and the services you choose. Ask your installer or request a call back.

I have a contract with another centre. Can I switch to you?

Yes, once your contract expires. You get 10% off in the first year.

Do I need a new alarm?

Usually not: most modern systems connect to any centre. If yours cannot, you get 20% off a new Sigma system.

What happens if the power or the phone line is cut?

The alarm keeps running on its battery, usually for more than 24 hours. If the line is cut, a second communication path is needed, such as mobile (GPRS/4G) or Global SIM.

How long is the contract?

One year. After that it continues as an open-ended contract.

Do you cover areas outside Athens?

Yes, throughout Greece. Communication is over a phone line, internet or mobile, so distance doesn't matter.
