We never told our insurance company we had one. Partly out of lazyness, but also that we didn't want the setting of the alarm to become a requirement for insurance payouts (we do always set it, but just in case you forget and that's the one time you get burgled ....)
@Tenderloin - thanks, Verisure chap coming on Monday to give a quote. Plus it has new toys like video doorbells and the rest...

One reason to have an alarm system is for your insurance company which will require a maintenance contract.
When we moved into this house it had an ADT monitored system. We replaced it with an un-monitored one from someone else. The control box had to be replaced as ADT use custom firmware.
