BT, the UK’s largest supplier of Broadband, has been working with Internet monitoring and control specialist Intamac Systems to develop BT Homesafe, a new online alarm  with IP security and CCTV capability that customers can self install in their homes with ease.

The system provides people and their property with new levels of protection using broadband connectivity at an affordable price.
