Verisure alarms in Spain: is it right for you?

By Linus Palmqvist, Head of Operations Reviewed by Simon Nilsson Last reviewed

Verisure is the biggest home alarm company in Spain, and Spain is its largest market worldwide. It publishes its contract terms in English, which most companies here do not. The thing to understand before signing is that you are agreeing to two payments, not one.

Is Verisure right for you?

The most capable system of the six, and the one whose contract needs the closest reading.

A good fit if

  • you want photo verification and add-ons like the fog device
  • you would rather deal with the largest company in the market
  • you are comfortable committing for two years

Look elsewhere if

  • you want a published price before you speak to anyone
  • you would rather not have equipment on a separate payment plan
  • you expect cancelling to be quick

Verisure in detail

The facts worth knowing before you talk to them, and the ones you can check yourself.

Size
Its biggest market worldwide is Spain

Around 6.2 million customers globally at the end of 2025.

Cost level
Quote only

Verisure publishes no tariff. Pricing comes from a home visit, so get it in writing.

Monitoring centre
Its own

Registered for running an alarm receiving centre, not renting space in one.

Kit and connection
Photo verification, fog device option

Two independent connections with jamming detection. Detection, not prevention.

Contract
24 months, plus a separate equipment plan

The service and the equipment are billed apart, and the equipment can run longer.

The name
Changing from Securitas Direct

Same company. The rebrand runs through 2026, so both names appear on paperwork.

Legal entity
Securitas Direct Espana, S.A.U.

The name that should appear on your contract. Registered as DGP 2737.

Three things worth confirming

The system is well regarded. These three are about the paperwork, which is where the surprises sit.

  1. 1

    How long the equipment is paid over

    The service runs two years. The equipment is a separate plan and can run longer. Ask for both lengths side by side.

  2. 2

    What is still owed if you cancel

    Ending the monitoring does not clear the equipment plan. Ask for the figure at month 25, once the service minimum has passed.

  3. 3

    When the equipment becomes yours

    Ownership passes only after the service ends and the installation is paid off. Ask what happens to the kit if you leave sooner.

What you get in English

Verisure goes further in English than most of this market. The general terms exist as an English document, which is unusual here, and the app runs in English.

The contract terms

Published in English as well as Spanish, so you can read what you are agreeing to.

The monitoring centre

No company in this market promises an English-speaking operator when an alarm goes off. Plan on that conversation being in Spanish.

Everything around it

Sales visits, billing questions and cancellations run in Spanish. That is the part we do with you.

What customers say

Worth reading a few yourself rather than going on the number alone.

72,962 reviews. 77% five star, 8% one star. Checked 25 July 2026.

The praise goes to the installers and the speed of response. The complaints cluster around billing and cancelling, and around the equipment plan continuing after the service ends.
