The Auckland alarm reality

Most Auckland alarm jobs start the same way…

The electrician said they “could probably do it.” The Bunnings DIY kit arrived with three Reddit threads of half-answers. The big company sent a quote with a $99 monthly monitoring lock-in buried on page 4.

Then your neighbour told you about a friend whose alarm went off every Tuesday at 3am for six weeks because nobody calibrated the motion sensor properly.

And now you’re here. Here’s how it goes from this page: you pick the option below that sounds like your job, we send a real human to your address within 24 hours, and your fixed-price quote lands in your inbox the same day — no marketing follow-up loops, no “we’ll get back to you.”

What you actually get

Not a feature list. A “you can sleep tonight knowing this works” list.

🏠

Smartphone arm/disarm

Arm and disarm from anywhere — so you can stop driving back to check the alarm when you’ve left the in-laws coming over.

📲

Real-time intrusion alerts

Push notifications direct to your phone the second a sensor trips — so you know what’s happening at home before the neighbour does.

🐕

Pet-friendly motion sensors

Calibrated PIR sensors that ignore animals under 35kg — so the alarm doesn’t trip every time the cat walks past at 2am.

🔋

Battery-backed control panel

Continues to operate during power cuts (Auckland storms, looking at you) — so the alarm still protects you when the lights go out.

📞

24/7 monitoring (optional)

Pair with an Auckland monitoring station — so when the alarm trips, a real person calls you or dispatches a guard within minutes.

🔗

Integrates with CCTV + access

One app, one login, one system for alarm + cameras + door locks — so you don’t end up with four security apps and no idea which is the real one.

Three fixed-price tiers

Auckland alarm FAQs

Auckland alarm installation FAQs

The questions Sarah from Remuera asked last week. Real answers, no marketing fluff.

How much does alarm installation cost in Auckland?

For an average 2-3 bedroom Auckland home, a 4-zone alarm install starts at $980 fully fitted. A 4-5 bedroom home or small office (8-zone, monitoring-ready) typically lands at $1,890. A complete security setup with alarm + 4-camera CCTV + 12 months monitoring starts at $4,500. We send a fixed-price written quote within 24 hours of your free site visit — the price you accept is the price you pay.

How long does an alarm installation take?

A standard 4-zone Auckland home alarm install takes 4-6 hours and is usually completed same-day. An 8-zone whole-home install takes one full day. Complete security installs (alarm + CCTV + monitoring) take 1-2 days depending on cable runs. Book before 10am and we’re on-site that day on most jobs — or your call-out is free.

Do I need monitoring or can I just have alerts on my phone?

Both options work for Auckland homes — it depends on whether you’re home during the day. Smartphone-only alerts ($0 ongoing) are fine if you’re available to respond and call 111 yourself. 24/7 monitoring (~$30-45/month) is worth it if you travel for work, run a business with valuable stock, or want a guard dispatched on activation. We offer both — and switching between them later is straightforward.

What brands of alarm do you install?

Our most-installed alarm brands in Auckland are Paradox (reliable, smartphone-friendly), Ajax (premium wireless, sleek look), Bosch (commercial-grade), DSC (mid-tier proven), and Arrowhead (NZ-made, popular for commercial). We’re not tied to one brand — we recommend the system that matches your property layout, threat profile, and budget. We also service and repair most legacy alarms (Micron, Honeywell, Crow).

Will the alarm work if the power goes out?

Yes. Every alarm system we install includes a battery-backed control panel and sirens. During an Auckland power cut, the alarm continues to operate for 12-48 hours depending on the system size. The battery is automatically tested by the panel and we replace it on the 3-year service schedule. The siren and sensors continue to function as normal during the outage.

Can I add CCTV or access control to my alarm later?

Yes — and we recommend planning the cabling for it now even if you’re only installing the alarm today. Adding CCTV cameras or access-control door locks to an existing alarm system later is straightforward as long as the underlying cabling was done to TIA-568 standard. We can plan the alarm install with the future CCTV/access expansion mapped in — saves you 30-40% on the future install.

What’s your warranty on the install?

Every alarm install comes with our 3-year workmanship warranty. If anything we installed fails due to our workmanship within 3 years, we come back and fix it — no argument, no callout fee. This is separate from the equipment manufacturer warranty (typically 2 years for the panel and sensors). The 3-year is on our installation — wiring, mounting, calibration, programming. Backed in writing.

Do you service all of Auckland?

Yes — we install across the Auckland metro region: Auckland Central, North Shore (Albany to Devonport), West Auckland (Henderson, Te Atatu), East Auckland (Howick, Botany, Pakuranga), South Auckland (Manukau, Papatoetoe, Manurewa), and the north corridor including Orewa, Silverdale, Warkworth, Snells Beach and Mangawhai. Free site survey across all of these — no travel fees within the Auckland 40km radius.
