Security Alarm Systems

We install a range of systems for residential and commercial customers. Whether you require a simple two detector system for a small unit or home or require a comprehensive system with access control and automation, we can provide a solution to suit your unique requirements.

We have installed professional intrusion systems for a range of businesses, including high-end retail, jewellers, large churches, offices, shop fronts, and factories.  We’ve worked alongside architects, builders, electricians.  Commercial alarm systems with access control features include Tecom Challenger, Inner Range’s Inception, and Bosch Solution 6000.

Popular options for alarm systems are:

A range of PIRs are available, including ‘pet-immune’ or ‘pet-friendly’ sensors.  Specialist sensors, such as 360 degree PIRs, are sometimes suggested for commercial security systems.

Pet immune or pet-friendly sensors, that allow an animal to be in the house with the alarm on.

Door and window reed switches can trigger an alarm while intruders are still outside. They can accurately trigger the keypad entry warning timer.  Reeds back up a movement sensor to confirm an intrusion and can be armed separately at night.  Many companies don’t mention reeds as they can be tricky to install.  We use supervised wireless reeds where wiring is truly impossible.  Roller door reeds are a popular options for factories and warehouses.

Wireless keyfobs, also known as ‘remotes’,  can be used to arm and disarm the alarm system and even open the garage door.  Some models provide useful features such as ‘panic’ (holding two buttons down together) and alarm status feed back with a green or red indicator light.  We are also able to program in a garage door open function with some additional wiring.

We can supply keypads with inbuilt proximity readers so users don’t have to remember pin codes. We can install systems that can provide automation tasks such as opening a door using proximity fobs.

We can integrate smoke or heat detectors in an alarm installation.   Our monitoring centre can notify you and/or call the fire brigade.  Heat detectors are installed in kitchens where smoke alarms will potentially trigger accidentally.  It is important to note that the Fire Brigade may charge customers for false alarm call-outs.

IP or GSM (SMS) communication modules with mobile phone apps are popular add-ons.  An IP module communicates with your alarm through your internet connection, whilst a GSM module uses the 3G/4G network with a SIM card to communicate.  Most modules have compatible mobile phone apps to enable users to remotely monitor and control their systems.   Each product has it’s pros and cons.

Next to having on-site security personnel, monitored alarm systems provide the best protection. When we install a monitored alarm system, we recommend only monitoring centres that meets the stringent security industry’s A1 Grade security requirements. These monitoring centres act on system data on a 24/7 basis.  Alarm events aren’t limited to intrusion events. They can also include: open/closing reports (ideal for businesses), panic and duress reports, smoke or medical reports, as well as critical system conditions, such as low battery.   A patrol car can be sent out on your request (extra costs apply) and Victoria Police will respond if there’s confirmation of a key-holder onsite.

We can setup a monitoring account with an external provider for you at a reasonable monthly rate. We don’t believe in locking our customers into long-term monitoring contracts.   We recommend a 4G Permaccon GPRS set-up to communicate with the monitoring centre.  Read more about back to base monitoring …
