Alarms in the Maresme
From Montgat to Malgrat de Mar, by way of Mataró: protect your home, your second home or your business in the Maresme county with a system connected 24/7.
A coastal county with plenty to protect
The Maresme is a narrow, densely populated strip between the Serralada Litoral and the sea. The urban core of towns like Mataró sits alongside estates of detached houses, villas with gardens and second homes right on the beach. It's a county where protecting the outdoor entry points —gardens, ground floors, garage doors— matters as much as protecting the inside.
And it's a seasonal county too: many homes fill up in summer and empty the rest of the year. In these houses, detecting entry in time is key, whether against a break-in or a possible squat. The Securitas Direct alarm keeps the property watched even when no one is inside.
Seasonal movement also means more people coming and going, and more potential false alarms. That's why image verification works especially well here: the centre checks whether the trigger is real before raising the alert.
Houses with gardens, estates and seafront flats
In the Maresme the house with a garden and the residential estate are common, and that changes the approach: the aim is to raise the alert before the intruder reaches the door. Outdoor cameras, perimeter detection and sensors on the entry points do that job.
For seafront flats, on the other hand, the focus is on the entrance and the accessible windows. In both cases, the security survey tailors the system to your specific home.
- Perimeter protection for houses with gardens
- Entry detection in second homes
- Coverage from Montgat to Malgrat de Mar
- Verified alert to the centre, 24/7
A complete system, not a standalone gadget
Each device has a job —to detect, verify, deter and alert— and they all work together under the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC). It isn't a standalone gadget that just makes noise, but a system that checks what's happening and acts for you, one you control entirely from your phone.
Control panel
The brain of the system: it arms, disarms and connects to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) in an instant.
Verification camera
It records and visually verifies what happens indoors the moment an alarm goes off.
Outdoor 360° camera
It watches the perimeter day and night and spots an intruder before they get in.
Photo-detector
It detects movement and sends an instant photo to the ARC to verify the alert.
Entry detector
It alerts you the moment a protected door or window is opened.
Key-fob remote
Arm and disarm your alarm from your pocket, with a built-in SOS button.
SOS button
Call for urgent help from the ARC with a single tap, wherever you are.
Smart lock

Deterrent plaque
The visible sign that your home is protected by Securitas Direct (Verisure): it deters before anything happens.
Control app
Arm, disarm and check your property's status from your phone, anytime.

Signing up for an alarm in the Maresme, step by step
Signing up is simple: you request a free security survey, an adviser assesses your home or premises at no cost or obligation, and a local technician installs the system in a few hours, without any building work. The price depends on the property and the equipment, with installation included; you can see our indicative rates.
If your Maresme home is left empty in the low season, take a look at anti-squatter alarms. If you're protecting a seafront shop or premises, business alarms adapt to your opening hours. The county capital, Mataró, has its own page with local information.

What people who already sleep soundly say
“They broke into the block and didn't come anywhere near us: they saw the plaque and the camera and left. We sleep much more easily now.”
María, Mataró“The installation was quick and needed no building work. Now I keep an eye on the house in the village from my phone, even 100 km away.”

Lucía, ReusSecuritas Direct and Verisure: the same security, two names
When you search for an alarm in Catalonia, two names come up that tend to cause confusion: Securitas Direct and Verisure. It's worth clearing this up, because a lot of people assume they're separate companies —and they aren't: it's the same alarm company. Verisure is the group's international brand name and, in Spain, its service was known for years as Securitas Direct. The equipment, the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) —the monitoring centre that keeps watch over your alarm— the image verification and the technical service are exactly the same, whichever name you search for.
So whether you're looking to sign up for Securitas Direct alarms or Verisure alarms, this website serves you just the same: we advise you on Securitas Direct (Verisure) systems for your home, your second home or your business, with a free, no-obligation security assessment. Our aim is simple and down to earth: to solve your security problem, protect you against break-ins and squatting, and give you the peace of mind of knowing that, if something happens, someone verifies it and acts for you, 24 hours a day.
Why do so many people in Catalonia choose Securitas Direct (Verisure) alarms? Above all for one reason: they don't just make noise. When a sensor detects an intrusion, the signal reaches the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), which checks what has happened —by image or audio— and, if the threat is real, alerts the police and calls you. That verification is what turns an alarm into real protection, because it cuts down false alarms and speeds up the response when it matters most. On top of that come the details you notice day to day: installation with no building work in a few hours, control from your phone to arm and disarm remotely, the visible deterrent plaque you can see from the street, and an in-house technical service that responds when you need it.
It doesn't matter what you want to protect —a flat in the town centre, a villa on the coast, a house that sits empty for part of the year or a shop at street level—: the Securitas Direct and Verisure system is scaled to your specific case during the security assessment, so you pay only for what you genuinely need. Tell us what your home or business is like and we'll put together a clear quote, with no hidden lock-ins and no small print, so you can decide with all the information on the table.
The questions we hear most
Are Securitas Direct and Verisure the same thing?
Yes. Verisure is the group's international brand name, and in Spain its service was known for years as Securitas Direct. They are the same alarm company: the same equipment, the same Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) and the same technical service. Whether you search for 'Securitas Direct' or 'Verisure', we advise you the same way and with no obligation.
How much does a Securitas Direct alarm cost?
There is no single fixed rate: it depends on the type of property, the number of entry points and the equipment. As a rough guide, a simple home starts from around €29.90/mo and a business from around €56.62/mo, with installation included. The exact figure is worked out with a free security assessment.
Is there a charge for installation?
According to the company's official information, installation is included in the monthly fee. An engineer assesses your home or premises with no building work and sets up the system the same day.
What happens when the alarm goes off?
The system sends the signal to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), which verifies the incident (by image or audio) and, if it's real, alerts the authorities and you. Verification cuts down false alarms.
Does it work without power or internet?
The equipment has a backup battery and its own mobile connection, so it stays linked to the monitoring centre even if the power or Wi-Fi goes down.
