A full 20 device system
This is a departure from the normal Veritas system we have - meaning there are a few quirks that are different to a normal keypad system. We have three daughters that tend to come in whenever, so we wanted a system that was flexible and connected. I will start by saying that I was contacted at 0355 this morning, from the Control Centre - one of the garden sensors was activated. They taken five rapid pictures to make sure that we were not being burgled. The girls name is Vicky and she was excellent. The system is excellent and we have a fairly large property with three annexes. I am sure people have different experiences across the country, but I'm really impressed with the service, the sensitivity of the product, I have to get used to a different way of interacting with the system, but that's about me not the product. The pricing, is a different thing to me, it's a bit like paying for the fire service through my Council tax, you don't need it until you need it and I'm willing to pay a premium price for that.
Installed an alarm system
We actually thought about having an alarm system after there was attempted theft at our home. Therefore, I asked a friend who then referred me to Verisure and we thought of asking for a quote. The company has very swift services because, within a day, we had a quote and consequentially, in 3 days our alarm system was up and running, fully installed. The customer services were prompt in answering questions, especially because we had never used such a system before. The team has helped us trigger some false alarms to confirm how the system works as well as explain how their application and features work. I would definitely recommend Verisure.

Most horrible company. Promised so much with all sweet talk. But once paid £500 and got installed, started the suffering. No service to recommend . The instruments are not mine! why then you have collected money? after two years and paying over £2000 wanted to cancel and say, I need to give 3 months notice! for what? during selling you said I can cancel it anytime after 3 month of so ( though requested to keep it at least for a year!) and now all the conditions never told during selling; all small print things no one read! and worst now you have de activated my service meaning though if have the system, I can not put them on! what a crap!
Cameras and alarm system
Awful experience. Installation day 1- didn’t happen-day 2 - didn’t happen. Day 3 , fitter arrived but didn’t have all of the pieces. Cancelled. Day 4, it finally happened. The alarm sensitivity is too high. So the battery life of the devices , which was supposed to last a year has run out with a week to 10 days. I left the house with security turned on. Arrived back to hear the alarm going off. The voice until told me that one of the deuces had been tampered with. It hadn’t. They then tried to reset the system but couldn’t. The installer said that he would arrive to fix the system and fit the last camera. He had a minor car accident yesterday. I now have a system with no battery life, pinging everything that moves, from birds to the postman delivering post across the road. It drives us nuts ! Verisure ? Veripoor !! Not reliable and customer Service is shocking. Where’s the technician I was promised after three days from reporting the many problems ??? Terrible experience following the lies spun on the sales interview.
Alarm systeme
I had verisure for a few years and didn't really use them at all. My only experience was that it was difficult getting the initial appointment for the alarm to be fitted. My real issue with them is when I called to cancel, I had to wait to be contacted by them and even after following their process they continued to take a direct debit and refused to refund the money they shouldn't have taken. The refund is still pending yet they are now writing to me asking to pay for a contract which has been cancelled... avoid!!!!!!!!
Camerasfrontandback
Shockingly bad service - avoid this company!
I moved into a rented accommodation with Verisure / Arlo cameras installed, and had to call 14 times for my account to be set up - which still hasn't happened 3 months later.
The Security Expert scheduled to come to the property to check the cameras did not show up the first time. Having called Verisure to inquire why there was a no-show, response was 'there was a booking error'. The rescheduled appointment with the Security Expert had a similar outcome - another no-show from the Expert, even though confirmation texts and emails were sent to me in advance of the appointment. I will find an alternative company that respects customers time and provides a minimum level of service.
Alarm system
My dad has very bad anxiety and decided to install an alarm system after a few of his neighbors got burgled this past month. Instead of putting him at ease and making him feel safe when he's not at home, he's had countless issues. Firstly the system often refuses to connect to the wifi leaving the home unprotected. Secondly, he's had a few false alarms since installation. I spoke to a friend yesterday who said that he's also had similar issues and apparently the moonshot sensors are to blame. Really disappointed
Alarm system
My nana’s house got broken into last month. She recently upgraded to the new system from Verisure which turned out to be a disaster. The system apparently thought the back door to the garden was open, leaving the house unprotected. Piss poor service and to top it off my nana feels completely unsafe in her own home now.
Securityalarm
I was burgled while having Verisure alarm. The alarm triggered from the back entrance and a person walked in.
Monitoring station staff took the pictures but didn't even noticed the open door and marked it as safe and went back to SLEEP.
They didn't even send any security as they advertised.
I have been with them for over 3 years using them for business and home. NO MORE.
When I needed them they were useless and ignored the alarm. Now when I'm asking for the image taken I'm given the excuse that due to GDPR they can't share images of my own property. They won't answer my question of why no one noticed the door left open while the alarm was left active (complete silence)
They want to resolve the issue by advising me to buy more security from them by adding live cameras. Shameless people keep going on upselling.
Great reviews if nothing happens to you but reality kicks in when an incident occurs. They won't even cover the damages.
Avoid wasting, their Trustpilot reviews only show the customer service when you join not when you have to deal with problems.
Avoid and use a professional company.
Alarmsystem
Awful experience with this company, I paid nearly £500 for a system which failed after four months, VERISURE refused to fix it stating there was no guarantee I feel like I’ve been conned and I’m heading off to County Court to try and get the money back. Do not use.!! you can get better alarm system for less money from most alarm system companies which just come and fit them. These are basically salesman who are looking to rip you off. That was me I think everyone is everyone
