Security alarm installation in the Perth Hills & Perth metro

What an alarm system includes

• A control panel that arms and disarms the system.
• Door and window sensors, and motion detectors for inside the home.
• A siren to deter intruders and alert you and the neighbours.
• A keypad or a smartphone app to control the system.
• Options to link the system with your CCTV cameras.

Choosing between wired and wireless

Wired systems are very reliable and are best installed during a build or renovation, while the walls are open. Wireless sensors are quicker to install in a finished home and still work well when they're set up properly. Many properties use a mix. We'll recommend what suits your home, your budget and how you live.

Designing the system around your property

Good alarm design is about covering the ways someone could get in without causing false alarms. We think about entry doors, windows, the garage and any outbuildings, and where pets and children move around. Sensors are positioned and set to suit, and we'll show you how to use the system so it's simple day to day.

• Entry points: front and back doors, sliding doors, garage access.
• Ground-floor windows and rooms with valuables.
• Motion detectors that suit pets, where you have them.
• Backup power, so the system works during an outage.

Monitoring and cameras

Some people choose to have their alarm monitored by a security company, while others prefer a local siren and phone notifications. Talk to us about the options. Pairing an alarm with CCTV cameras gives you both the warning and the footage.

What affects the cost

The price depends on the size of the property and how much protection you want. What affects the cost:

• The number of doors, windows and rooms to protect.
• Wired or wireless sensors, and any cabling that has to be run.
• The type of panel, keypad and app features.
• Whether you want it linked to CCTV or monitored.
• The size and layout of the property.
