Burglar Alarm System

This is one of the most popular types of alarm systems. It protects your house and keeps you and your family safe from burglars. Opt for a fully integrated system which has a wide variety of features such as motion detection, sirens and alarms, door and window sensors, video monitoring and intercom system.

Motion detection automatically detects any suspicious movement that the system recognizes and would automatically warn you. Every entry (doors and windows) is installed with sensors for added security. Even when you’re at work or on a vacation, you can also check on your house through the video monitors which offers live feed.

Aside from that, it is now easier for you to look after your children as well. You can monitor them no matter where you are located inside your house. If you’re busy doing dishes at the kitchen, while your kid is inside his/her room, there’s no need for you to constantly run back and forth just to check on your kid. You can easily check on them through the video monitors.

Communication won’t be an issue anymore especially when you have a huge house. With a reliable intercom system, it is now much easier for you talk with your family even when you’re not in the same room. But not only that, the best thing about intercoms are they can help you check on who is at your door before you decide to let them in.

Usually this system comes with automated locks. So, it now much more convenient for you to lock and unlock your doors increasing security and safety at home.

Fire Alarm System

Fires at home are prevented with the help of fire alarms. The early signs of fire such as smoke are immediately detected by this system and alerts the people inside the residence of a potential fire. In most places, this system is required to prevent any serious physical damage and total loss of properties. Make sure to get the system installed be a competent company who ensures that the fire code standards in your area are met.

Hardwired Alarm System

A wired system uses sensors that send signals to the control panel through cables. If you have a single storey house with roof cavity, we recommend you go for this type of system.

Wireless Alarm System

Different from the wired system, the sensors are connected to the control panel without using wires. This is highly recommended for houses with no roof space since the wires will be most likely visible on your ceilings and walls. Although, the hardwired system is much reliable but they provide the same security and convenience.
