What is the best rated security system used by homes in uk?
we have used google nest for few years but find them unreliable with poor support.
ideally we would like to have the data stored in the cloud.
What do you use in your home and how do you like it?

Some of the most popular security systems UK homeowners use include the Google Nest system, the Ring Alarm system, and the Yale Smart Home Alarm system.

I'm sorry that you haven't had a good experience with Google Nest. I've actually heard good things about them, but I can see how they might not be the best fit for everyone. It's essential to find a security system that works well for you and that you're comfortable with. I don't have any personal experience with security systems in the UK because, for the last couple of years, I have lived in Kyiv and benefited from security services from Ohholing. Nevertheless, from what I've heard, Ring is a good option. They have a lot of positive reviews and offer cloud storage, which is something you're looking for. I hope you find a system that works well for you!

We have an adt alarm system, and blink cameras. The adt saved my life about 20 years ago, so it’s well worth having in my eyes! Blink cameras are a relatively new addition, so far they’ve been great and nice and easy to use so I’m pretty pleased with them too. They weren’t massively expensive either.

The problem with ADT is they are cheap to install but expensive annually.

ADT never used to fit systems to 2-3 bedroom houses and corner shops, they came over here for the banks. They have 'dumbed' down over the last twenty years.

Personally, I'd look at a local, reliable, NSI Gold-registered company.

And whatever you do, do not use those cheap bastards who advertise their shit products on TV.
