Burglar Alarm Advice Please

[EmilyintheUK]

Hoping for some advice on the best type of system for a ground floor flat with its own front door.
Our alarm at home is old fashioned, wired in with a bell outside and sensors on the door and windows.
i know there are wireless systems or things linked to Ring doorbell type set ups but there’s so much to choose from.
Any advice from anyone please that has set up a system recently and a rough idea of cost.
There is a cat in the flat too.
Thanks.

I'm also thinking about this. Mid refurb and have just taken out a really old wired system that was installed c.1990. I have a ring doorbell already and I'm weighing up intruder alarm vs just getting really good security lights and cameras on the approach (long drive) with an alert for that as someone is more likely to do the garage than the house. Interested to hear what anyone else has to say on it.

I really want an intruder alarm as it’s a flat where a relatively vulnerable person will be living.
I asked the IT guy at work and he didn’t think systems like Verisure were what we would need but I didn’t get a recommendation for what would be best.

Just get a local independent firm round for a quote. You can ask for recommendations on local FB groups.
We had the system in place upgraded when we downsized. We have fobs to turn off or set the alarm and there’s a panic button facility. Used a local firm we’d used before.
