Security alarms designed around your site. your home. your business. your farm.

Security alarm installation for homes, shops, warehouses and commercial sites in Whanganui, the Manawatu and across New Zealand. We walk your property, find the weak spots and build a system that fits, not a one-size-fits-all package.

How it works

It starts with a walk around your property.

Everyone wants the same thing from an alarm: to feel protected. How you get there depends on the building, the people in it and what you are worried about.

01

Site inspection

We walk the site, check entry points and listen to what actually worries you.

02

The right panel

Wired or wireless, one keypad or twenty zones. We match the system to the site.

03

Tidy install

Clean cabling, labelled zones and a system tested end to end before we leave.

04

Trained and supported

We show your staff or family how to use it, and we are here when you need us.

What goes into an alarm

The right sensor in the right place.

A good alarm is a mix of devices, each chosen for the room it protects. We plan them around how someone would actually get in.

Motion sensors

Pick up movement in a room or hallway, with pet-friendly options so the dog does not set it off.

Best for hallways, lounges and shop floors

Door and window contacts

Trigger the moment a door or window opens, before anyone is inside.

Best for entry doors, ranch sliders and windows

Glass break sensors

Listen for breaking glass, so a smashed window is caught straight away.

Best for shopfronts and large windows

Sirens and strobes

Loud inside to drive intruders out, and visible outside so neighbours and patrols know where to look.

Best for every alarm

Keypads and app control

Arm and disarm with a code, a tag or your phone, with separate codes for each user.

Best for homes, staff and contractors

Panic buttons

A fixed or portable button to call for help when you need it, day or night.

Best for counters, receptions and bedrooms

Homes

Keep your family and property safe, with an alarm you can arm and check from your phone.

Retail and service stations

Protect stock and staff with duress buttons, monitored zones and fog cannons where they are needed.

Commercial and industrial

Keep plant and equipment protected after hours, with areas, schedules and user codes for every team.

Add 24/7 monitoring

An alarm nobody hears is just noise.

Connect your alarm to 24/7 monitoring and a break-in gets a real response: keyholders called, patrol sent, and every step logged.

Wired or wireless

Two ways to build an alarm. We will tell you which suits.

Both are secure and both can be monitored 24/7. The right choice depends on the building, how big the site is and what else the alarm needs to connect to.

Wired alarms

Sensors cabled back to a control panel. The most robust option, and the best fit when an alarm needs to work with access control.

New builds and renovations
Large commercial and industrial sites
Alarm and access control on one system

Wireless alarms

Encrypted wireless sensors with no cables through your walls. Fast to install, tidy and run from a phone app.

Finished homes and rentals
Heritage, brick and concrete buildings
Shops and offices you may move out of
Alarm work

Neat on the wall, neater in the cabinet.

Already have an alarm?

Keep it, fix it, or upgrade it.

Takeovers and upgrades

We work on all systems, any brand. If your alarm was put in by someone else, we check what you have, keep what still works and upgrade only what needs it.

Old phone-line diallers upgraded to IP or 4G
Faulty sensors and keypads replaced
Codes and user lists sorted out

Alarm health checks

A flat battery or a dead sensor usually goes unnoticed until the night it matters. A regular service covers:

Every sensor walk-tested
Backup battery tested under load
Sirens and strobes checked
Signals to the monitoring centre confirmed
Questions

Security alarm questions, answered.

Can you take over an alarm another company installed?

Yes. We work on all systems, any brand. We will check what you have, fix any faults and tell you honestly whether it is worth keeping.

Wired or wireless?

Both have their place. Wired suits new builds and big commercial sites. Wireless, like AJAX, suits finished homes and shops where running cable is hard.

Can I control it from my phone?

Most modern systems we install can be armed, disarmed and checked from an app. We set it up and show you how it works.

Do I need monitoring?

It is not compulsory, but without it an alarm relies on someone hearing it. Monitoring means every activation gets a response, day or night.

How much does a security alarm cost?

It depends on the size of the property and the number of sensors you need. We visit for free, walk the property with you and give you a clear written quote.

Will my pets set it off?

Not if it is set up properly. We use pet-friendly motion sensors and place them so a cat or dog can move around freely while the alarm is set.

What happens in a power cut?

Every alarm we install has a backup battery, so it keeps protecting you and reporting to the monitoring centre while the power is out.
