What Protection 24 does

Protection 24 is the consumer-facing trade identity of EPS, a French private company (SAS, RCS Strasbourg 338 780 513, capital €1,123,600) that operates the Homiris brand and is identified as the leading provider of remote home monitoring (télésurveillance) in France per Atlas 2025 En toute sécurité. The company was established in 1986 in Strasbourg and serves individual homeowners, renters (apartments and houses), and a secondary segment of business/professional subscribers across mainland France. Note: the firmographics record labels Protection 24 as part of BNP Paribas Group, while detailed ownership commentary describes EPS as an independent private company with no disclosed parent — this discrepancy is unresolved in the source material.

The core offering is a subscription-based connected alarm system built on BIRDIE-branded hardware (motion detectors, door/window contacts, EN 14604-compliant smoke detectors, a central alarm hub supporting telephone/GSM/IP connectivity, a 105 dB siren, keypad, and remote controls), complemented by a biometric remote control, an outdoor HD-100 camera with solar panel, and iOS/Android mobile applications for remote arming, status monitoring, and event photo review. The technology stack is conventional rather than AI-native: signal transmission feeds one of four APSAD P5-certified monitoring centers (Strasbourg, Verlinghem, Vineuil, Tours), where certified agents execute a control call in under 30 seconds, dispatch a security agent on the premium tier, and notify law enforcement/emergency services when warranted.

Revenue mechanics are entirely subscription-recurring with two main tiers: Formule Confort at €22.50/month (apartment) or €27.50/month (house), and Formule Sérénité at €32.50/month or €40.00/month respectively, the latter adding security-agent intervention and emergency-services dispatch. Equipment is provided at no additional cost during the subscription, installation is free for residential subscribers (€150 ex-VAT for professionals), and a 12-month minimum commitment applies. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via a 0800 hotline, the homiris.fr website, mobile apps, and field technician installation, with a referral program and earned-media emphasis on French-origin certifications (Origine France Garantie, Service France Garanti) and consumer awards (Marque de l'Année 2026, Meilleures Enseignes for 10 consecutive years). Regulatory licensing via CNAPS authorization and APSAD P5 certification across all four sites acts as a structural barrier to entry.

Direct peers

• IMA Protect: French remote-monitoring and personal-protection services provider; competes in residential and professional monitored alarm services and shares the same APSAD-certified center operating model as Homiris.
• Sector Alarm: European provider of monitored alarm and security solutions with a direct presence in France, competing head-to-head with Homiris on professionally installed, subscription-based intrusion and fire monitoring for homes and SMBs.
• Nexecur: French télésurveillance operator offering remote alarm monitoring and intervention services to residential and business customers; operates certified monitoring centers and competes directly with EPS/Homiris in the same geography.
• Verisure: Largest direct competitor to Homiris in the French monitored-alarm market, offering professionally installed and 24/7-monitored intrusion and emergency systems to residential and small-business customers with a comparable subscription model.

Emerging players

• Ring (Amazon): Amazon-owned DIY home-security brand offering video doorbells, cameras and a self- or third-party-monitored subscription; increasingly the structural alternative to professionally monitored services like Homiris at a lower price point.
• Netatmo (Legrand): Smart-home vendor (now part of Legrand) with video doorbells, cameras and security products; competes at the DIY/self-monitored edge of Homiris's market, particularly among connected-home early adopters.
• Somfy: French smart-home and connected-equipment leader with TaHoma/connected-alarm products; partial overlap with Homiris as a smart-home and intrusion-detection alternative, more on the equipment/self-monitored side.

Broad incumbents

• Stanley Security: Large commercial-focused electronic security provider (intrusion, video, access control) with monitoring capabilities; overlaps with the Homiris 'Professionnels' segment rather than its core residential offering.
• ADT Inc. Global incumbent in professionally monitored security systems for residential and commercial customers; competes with Homiris in France at the higher end of the market and in B2B/professional deployments.
• Securitas: Global security services group offering guarding, monitoring and electronic security; its Securitas Direct / Verisure-style offerings overlap with Homiris on remotely monitored residential and commercial alarm services.
