BT Redcare Replacement- Stay Protected Without a Pause

BT Redcare was a secure alarm signalling service offered by BT, primarily used for transmitting signals from alarm systems (like intruder or fire alarms) to alarm receiving centres (ARCs), providing services to businesses and residential properties. 

It is an alarm monitoring service, which enables alarm receiving centres (ARCs) to contact the emergency services in case of fire. This provides a 24/7 instant response, which many insurance providers require.

However, with significant changes occurring in the telecommunications sector, BT Redcare will suspend its service on 1st August 2025, leaving thousands of businesses and homeowners to find another support and looking for a BT Redcare replacement service.

What To Do If You Use BT Redcare?

So, where does this all leave the average business or property security manager using BT RedCare alarm monitoring? This simply implies that you will have to switch to a different provider before the date when the shutdown will take place.

This may imply switching much earlier than August 1st in case your contract is ending earlier, but anyhow, you should not get caught without coverage. The loss of the monitored security may make you more susceptible, and this may make your insurance coverage null and void.

Everyone with BT RedCare already installed should contact us as soon as possible. As the deadline draws near, the number of alternatives and switch-overs asked is predicted to increase tremendously.

KForce Security offers you the opportunity to relax and shockproof time to ensure that everything in your alarm monitoring service has been taken care of.

About BT Redcare Closure

By the 1st of August 2025, BT Redcare will be discontinued, and any company or institution that has installed this monitoring service will be in the category of being uncovered. This means your alarm system will become useless, and your property will no longer be secure, so finding a replacement is essential.

What Should You Do If You Use BT Redcare?

BT have supplied Secure Data Links Transmitting alarm signals to an Alarm Receiving Centre under their Redcare brand, many years ago.

With the passing of the PSTN analogue telephone system and conversion to digital signalling through customers’ Broadband as the mainline, we had anticipated that the equipment was now installed to upgrade the Alarms of our clients to transmit Redcare digital signalling.

This should not be the case owing to the fact that BT Redcare have just stated that it will be discontinuing its Redcare service at the end of the Summer of 2025.
