Wirefree equipment explained...

It is important to choose the proper house alarm that suits your home security needs. House alarms can be built to suit larger premises or smaller premises. They vary in the amount of zones that they cover, which allows you to find an alarm system which not only suits your home but also your budget.

There are 2 different types of alarm system protection that we offer, perimeter protection and motion detector protection.

A perimeter alarm system secures the perimeter of your home or premises i.e.sensors are placed on all external doors and on all accessible windows.  In addition, motion detectors are placed in strategic positions inside your house or premises.

A motion detector alarm system secures zones/areas within your home or premises i.e. motion detectors are placed in the most accessible areas of your home or premises.  Sensors are also placed on external doors. 

The type of house alarm you choose depends on what your specific requirements are.

We have both wireless and wired alarm system available.  If your home has been built relatively recently, it will most likely be wired for a house alarm, in which case a pre wired alarm system would be more suitable.  Alternatively if your home is not pre-wired for a house alarm, a wireless alarm system is the option for you.
