Looking for an Alarm System Without a Subscription?
Many homeowners and businesses researching alarm systems discover that subscription providers often operate on long contracts with equipment tied to monthly payments. While these services offer convenience, they rarely provide full ownership or long-term flexibility.
MW Global Security takes a different approach.
We install professional Ajax and Visonic alarm systems that you own outright. No locked hardware. No forced contracts. Just modern security technology installed professionally and supported by a local security specialist..
For customers who want independence, transparency, and long-term value, customer-owned alarm systems installed by professionals are often the preferred choice.

Benefits of a Customer-Owned Alarm System
Choosing a customer-owned alarm system gives you full control over your security without contractual restrictions or long-term dependency on a single provider.
Unlike subscription alarm models, ownership ensures your system continues to function regardless of who monitors or maintains it, and without the risk of hardware being restricted or disabled.
| Full Equipment Ownership | No Forced Contracts | System Upgrade Flexibility |
| All alarm equipment is owned outright from day one. The system remains fully operational even if monitoring arrangements change or are cancelled. | There are no mandatory long-term agreements, early termination charges, or penalties for changing how your system is managed. | Additional detectors, cameras, panic buttons, or external sirens can be added at any time. You are not limited by provider-locked hardware or proprietary restrictions. |
| Long-Term Cost Control | Insurance-Recognised | Retained Asset Value |
| By removing ongoing subscription payments tied to ownership, customer-owned systems typically offer significantly better value over the life of the system. | Customer-owned systems use open, professional platforms that are widely recognised by UK insurers when correctly specified and installed. | The alarm system remains part of the property or business asset, rather than being tied to a third-party provider. |
MW Global Security installs professional customer-owned alarm systems using established platforms such as Ajax Systems and Visonic, configured to suit the property, risk profile, and operational requirements.
Flexible Monitoring Options
Because you own the alarm system, you can choose self-monitoring or professional monitoring without being locked into a subscription provider.
Not every property requires the same level of monitoring. Some customers prefer instant smartphone alerts and self-monitoring. Others require professional monitoring with guard response capability.
Customer-owned alarm systems give you that choice, supported by modern mobile apps that provide real-time alerts, system control, and status monitoring from anywhere.
You are not locked into a single national call-centre model. You select the level of protection that fits your property, risk profile, and budget — and you can adjust it as needs change.
- Self-monitoring via mobile alerts
- Optional professional alarm monitoring
- Guard response options available
- Tailored monitoring options

This local, accountable approach ensures clearer communication, faster assistance when needed, and long-term continuity — not just during installation, but throughout the life of the system.
