The Alarm Monitoring Company (AMCO for short) was founded in 1995 with the aim to provide the best security services at the lowest prices. We specialised early on in something called 'immediate audio-response monitoring', which is at the heart of our *LiveTalk monitoring* product and is the most advanced form of security monitoring on the market - and today still differentiates us from other security companies.
AMCO was founded by Les Quigley, a former RAF officer and entrepreneur, and is a still a family-owned company with growing involvement from his son Chris. The Alarm Monitoring Company is now part of AMCO Security ltd, and after 20 years in the market is growing rapidly, and has become the no. 1 independent monitored security company in the UK.

Massively disappointing
Seemed a good deal when we signed up almost 2 years ago but that's where it ended.
We upgraded our broadband our landline was no longer the normal copper cable but over the internet, which then meant AMCO were not able to monitor our alarm. They did reach out to say something was wrong, but we would have to pay £130/£150 (cant recall the exact number) to upgrade the alarm, plus an increase in the monitoring charges every month going forward.
I asked if they could make our system smart, which they could, but for another £280! This is something that comes standard with

I live just outside London and wanted a monitored alarm for my property for peace of mind; not just for burglaries but also for medical/panic situations for my partner and myself. The installation was incredibly neat and completed in 2 hours. We tested the system with the 2 installation chaps and it worked well, and they trained me to use the alarm in about 10 minutes (that's how easy the system is!). Very impressed so far.
