Intruder Alarm Signalling - big changes ahead

This webinar will give a brief refresher on intruder alarm systems and what insurers will commonly expect. It will explain the changes that BT is planning for its networks, how these will impact on existing intruder alarms and what insurers' requirements for intruder alarm signalling will be in future.

The session is pitched at a level that those who are relatively inexperienced in property insurance matters will understand. However, it is primarily aimed at the more experienced insurance professional who needs to be updated on changes that will affect nearly all alarm systems.
