How the plan works
From system review to annual renewal

Clear service boundaries
The written setup confirms the alarm handling, keyholder contacts and agreed escalation procedure without making unsupported response guarantees.

Customer reviews
Feedback about local servicing and support
“Brilliant service from NOX. Super professional, knowledgeable, and they went out of their way to be helpful. Everything was explained clearly and in detail. The install was tidy, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. We were thinking about getting a security system for a while and now we're so glad we went with NOX. Would 100% recommend to anyone.”Ryan HargreavesAjax Alarm System
“Seamless journey from start to finish! I filled in the simple form and was soon contacted by the team. They were very knowledgeable, professional and really listened to my needs. I have since had a system installed. The price was much less than I had expected and so far the aftercare has been great. I can't recommend them enough!”Jeremy BuntingSecurity System Installation
“We recently had NOX install cameras, smoke screens, and alarms at our office and the whole experience has been spot on from start to finish. From the very first phone call with Isaac, everything felt straightforward and reassuring. He took the time to explain our options, answered all our questions, and helped design a system that made sense for our building and our budget. No pushy sales tactics at all, which was refreshing. The installation was smooth, the team were professional, and even after everything was fitted, Isaac has been on hand to help with any follow-up questions. A really great service and a company I'd happily recommend.”Nathan De La RosaCommercial CCTV, Alarms & Smoke Screens
