The old alarm screamed — nobody came
The Patels' 15-year-old bell-only alarm went off one Sunday while they were away. It shrieked for twenty minutes. Three neighbours heard it, assumed it was a false alarm like the last four times, and did nothing. The burglars knew exactly what most people know: a siren with no one on the other end is just noise. They took their time.
The system we installed cost $1,180 fitted: a Bosch panel with six zones, smartphone arm/disarm, and 24/7 back-to-base monitoring at $35/month. Now when a zone trips, the monitoring centre calls the Patels, then their nominated contacts, then dispatches a patrol — within minutes, day or night. The siren still sounds. But this time, something happens.
We've installed 40 monitored alarms across Auckland in the last 12 months. Average control-room response: 90 seconds. Bell-only alarms average zero response — because nobody's watching.
- Monitored response — a real person calls and dispatches, not just a siren.
- Arm from your phone — and get a push alert the second a zone trips.
- Pet-friendly sensors — tuned so the cat doesn't trigger a 2am callout.
- Major brands only — Bosch, Inner Range, Paradox, DSC. NZ-supported, parts available.
Bell-only, self-monitored — or monitored?
The single biggest security decision is who responds when the alarm trips. Here's the honest comparison.
Monitored (back-to-base)
A 24/7 monitoring centre gets the signal, calls you and your contacts, and dispatches a patrol or Police — even when you're asleep, overseas, or your phone's on silent.
- Who responds
- Monitoring centre
- You asleep?
- Still covered
- Patrol dispatch
- Included
Self-monitored
The panel pushes an alert to your phone when a zone trips. Fine if you'll always see it and know who to call — useless at 3am on silent, or when you're on a flight.
- Who responds
- You do
- You asleep?
- Missed
- Patrol dispatch
- DIY
Bell-only
A siren and nothing else. After a few false alarms, neighbours tune it out — exactly what happened in the Mt Roskill story above. It deters the opportunist, not the determined.
- Who responds
- Nobody
- You asleep?
- No alert
- Patrol dispatch
- None

The checks that separate pros from cowboys
We built these checks after replacing too many alarms that worked at install — then false-triggered into irrelevance, or went silent when it mattered.
An alarm without monitoring is a $450 doorbell
The siren scares off the opportunist — but the determined intruder knows nobody’s coming. Monitored back-to-base changes the equation: a 24/7 centre receives the signal, calls your contacts, and dispatches a patrol. Response in minutes, whether you’re asleep, overseas, or your phone’s on silent.
- 24/7 monitoring centre, not just you
- Calls your contacts in order
- Patrol / Police dispatch included
- From $35/month, no lock-in contract
The system is armed when your phone can do it
If the installer leaves you a manual and a YouTube link, the job isn’t finished. We set up arm/disarm on your phone before we leave, add every household member, tune the sensors so pets don’t trigger it, and trip a test alarm together — that’s our definition of done.
- Arm/disarm app set up on the day
- Pet-friendly sensor tuning
- Every household member added
- Test alarm tripped before we leave
Why your last alarm cried wolf
Most bell-only alarms get ignored because they false-trigger — a curtain in a heat-pump draft, a spider on the sensor, a badly-placed PIR facing a sunny window. We place and angle every sensor to eliminate the usual culprits, and pet-tune so a cat under 15kg walks free. An alarm nobody trusts is worse than none.
- Sensors angled away from heat sources
- Pet-immune PIRs where needed
- Door/window reeds on real entry points
- An alarm the neighbours still believe
A cut phone line shouldn’t kill your alarm
Old alarms relied on a copper phone line — cut it and the alarm goes deaf. We fit dual-path monitoring (cellular + IP) so severing one comms path still gets the signal out, plus a battery backup that keeps the panel armed and reporting through a power cut. The system that works on install day still works in year five.
- Dual-path: cellular + IP reporting
- Battery backup through power cuts
- Tamper alerts on panel + sirens
- 3-yr workmanship + 2-yr hardware warranty

Rated 4.9 by homes and businesses across the city
"After next door got done over, we booked a monitored system. They walked the whole house first, tuned it so the dog doesn't set it off, and had the app working before they left — test alarm and all."
"Old panel, dead backup battery, phone-line only. They swapped it for a modern dual-path monitored system in an afternoon and set every family member up on the app. Finally an alarm we actually trust."
"Our old alarm false-triggered so often we'd stopped arming it — which defeats the point. They re-placed two sensors, added monitoring, and now an alert actually means something. Should have called them first."
