Securitas Direct does not publish a single fixed rate: the final price depends on the type of property, the number of entry points, the equipment installed and the current promotion. Installation is included according to the company's official information.
What your alarm's price depends on
Installing an alarm in a flat with two access points doesn't cost the same as fitting one in a house with a garden or a business with several zones. It stands to reason: there's more to protect and more devices to install. Four factors weigh most heavily on the final price.
The type of property. A flat, a detached house, a second home or a commercial premises each have different needs. A flat is usually covered with a few elements; a house with a garden calls for reinforcing the outside; a business needs zoned protection.
The number of access points. Every door and every accessible window is a point to cover. The more access points, the more detectors, and that shows in the equipment.
The devices included. Basic protection isn't the same as a set-up with an outdoor camera, perimeter detection, an SOS button or a smart lock. Each layer adds security and, yes, cost too.
The current offer. Securitas Direct doesn't publish a single fixed rate: there are introductory offers that change over time. That's why the only way to know the exact price is a free security survey, in which an adviser assesses your case and gives you a fixed quote, with no obligation.
Installation is included and there's no building work
According to the company's official information, installation is included in the fee. A technician assesses your home or premises, fits the devices and configures the system in a few hours, without drilling walls or leaving a mess behind.
Before installing, they explain the terms clearly — the minimum term, the services included, how it works — so there's no small print and no surprises on your fee.

What the monthly fee includes
When you compare alarm prices, it's worth looking not just at the figure, but at what's behind it. In a Securitas Direct (Verisure) system, the monthly fee doesn't pay for "a gadget": it pays for a complete service. It includes the permanent link to the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC), which is what means that, when the alarm goes off, someone verifies what happened and alerts the police. It also covers system maintenance, updates and round-the-clock support, 365 days a year.
On top of all that comes the control app for arming and disarming from your phone, receiving real-time alerts and checking on the property, plus the guarantee of an in-house technical service that comes out if any device fails. Installation, according to the company's official information, is included: a technician sets up the equipment with no building work and leaves it running the same day. So when someone asks "how much does an alarm cost?", the honest answer is that it depends on what you're protecting — but what you get in return for the fee is verified peace of mind, not just a siren.
How much it costs by type of property
A flat with a front door and a couple of accessible windows needs fewer devices, so it starts from the most affordable fees. A house or villa with a garden, several entrances and a ground floor calls for reinforcing the outside with a camera and perimeter detection, and that nudges the fee up a little in exchange for more protection. A second home that sits empty for stretches prioritises break-in detection — key against occupation — and usually combines opening sensors with image verification. And a business adds zoned protection, per-employee access control and monitoring outside trading hours.
For all these reasons there's no single fixed rate, and be wary of anyone who gives you an exact price without seeing your property. The proper way to find out what a Securitas Direct or Verisure alarm will cost you is the free security survey: an adviser assesses your case, proposes only what you need and gives you a fixed quote, in writing and with no obligation. That way you compare with real figures, not with promises.
Securitas 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.
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.
