Type of Alarms we offer
BURGLAR ALARM SYSTEM
A Burglar Alarm System is an essential security solution designed to protect your home or business from unauthorized access and theft. By integrating advanced sensors, control units, and alert mechanisms, this system provides continuous surveillance and immediate response to intrusion attempts, giving you peace of mind 24/7.
Key advantages :
WIRED ALARM SYSTEMS
A wired alarm system is a security system connected to a landline in your building. Every security component must be hard-wired for the system to work, providing a consistent and uninterrupted connection.
Benefits of wired systems include :
Wired alarm systems require running cables throughout your building, making these security solutions better suited for new construction or major renovations.
WIRELESS ALARM SYSTEMS
A wireless alarm system is a home security system that is not connected to a landline in your building but works by using radio frequencies. Wireless alarm systems use wireless sensors that can trigger an alarm if tripped. The sensors use radio frequency to send a signal to the control panel of the system if an alarm needs to go off. You’ll need to replace batteries regularly in a wireless system.
Key advantages :
UNMONITORED ALARM SYSTEMS
An unmonitored alarm system is not monitored remotely or in a control center. Additionally, it does not alert local authorities of the alarm. Rather, it sounds a local alarm when needed, and it relies on people in the vicinity being able to hear the alarm.
System characteristics :
This is a nice feature, but it relies on you constantly keeping tabs on your property.
MONITORED ALARM SYSTEMS
A security team monitors an alarm system. If the alarm is tripped, they are immediately alerted and begin taking action. Monitored systems also alert you if the alarm is tripped.
Benefits of monitored systems :
Most modern security systems with monitoring are more expensive because you pay for a team to monitor your property constantly. Usually, you’ll pay a monthly fee to continue your service.
FIRE/FLOOD/CO ALARM SYSTEM
A combined Fire, Flood, and Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarm System is a vital multi-hazard safety solution designed to detect and alert occupants to the presence of fire, water leaks or floods, and dangerous carbon monoxide gas—all critical threats to life and property.

FAQ
What is an alarm system?
An alarm system consists of sensors and a control panel designed to detect security breaches like unauthorized entry. It triggers alerts through alarms and notifies emergency contacts or monitoring centers to respond promptly.
How do alarm systems work ?
Sensors detect actions such as door/window openings or motion. When triggered, they send signals to a control panel, which activates alarms and can send alerts to homeowners or professional monitoring services.
Are wired or wireless alarm systems better ?
Wired systems are often cheaper if your property is pre-wired, but require installation work if not. Wireless alarms offer easier installation as they use battery-powered sensors communicating via radio frequency, ideal for homes without existing wiring.
Can I control my alarm remotely ?
Many modern alarm systems allow remote control and monitoring via smartphone apps, enabling users to arm or disarm the system, view live CCTV feeds, and receive notifications anywhere.
Are alarm systems pet-friendly ?
Yes, many systems include pet-friendly motion detectors designed to avoid false alarms caused by pets moving indoors.
Will my alarm work during a power outage ?
Most alarm systems come with backup power sources such as batteries or UPS, ensuring operation even during power failures.
Can I expand my alarm system ?
Yes, alarm systems are expandable to add extra sensors, cameras, or other devices to enhance security as your needs grow.
Do I need professional installation ?
While some alarms offer self-install options, professional installation is recommended for complex or wired systems to ensure optimal sensor placement and integration.
How do monitored alarms work ?
Monitored alarms send signals to a certified alarm receiving center (ARC), which contacts homeowners or emergency services if needed. This adds an extra layer of security beyond self-monitoring.
How often should I test my alarm system ?
It is recommended to test the system monthly for functionality and have an annual maintenance service for reliability.
What happens if my alarm makes a false alarm ?
False alarms can occur due to user error, equipment malfunction, or environmental factors. Proper maintenance, correct usage, and professional monitoring reduce false alarms.
