For Homeowners
Protect Your Home with a Funded Security Grant
Discretionary grant-funded contributions towards qualifying alarm, CCTV, smart doorbell and home security installations for properties across the North East and North Yorkshire.
Why Your Home Benefits
Modern residential security does more than scare off burglars. It saves money, protects the people you love, and adds real value to your property.
Visible deterrent
Alarms, signage and external cameras deter opportunistic break-ins before they happen.
Insurance savings
Certified alarm and CCTV systems can unlock lower home insurance premiums.
Peace of mind, anywhere
View live cameras, arm your alarm and get instant alerts straight to your phone.
Wireless, minimal mess
Modern wireless kit installs in a single day with no rewiring or redecoration.
Adds property appeal
A professionally installed system is a recognised upgrade that adds value at resale.
Family & elderly support
Two-way audio, panic features and presence alerts help keep loved ones safe.
