Perth is a great place to live, but break-ins do happen. A home alarm system is one of the easiest ways to protect your property and give your family peace of mind. Today’s systems are smarter than old locks — many send alerts straight to your phone and can even connect to CCTV cameras for extra coverage.
Start With Your Home
Not every house needs the same setup. A big family home with a backyard has different needs than a small unit in the city. Think about:
- How many doors and windows need coverage.
- Whether you want garage or outdoor protection.
- How often your home is empty
Knowing this first will help you choose the right system without overspending.
What to Look for in a System
A modern alarm does more than just make noise. Useful features include:
- Motion and glass-break sensors.
- Phone notifications.
- Wireless setup for easy installation.
- Integration with CCTV.
- Smart home compatibility.
These features make the system easier to use and more reliable.
Why CCTV Helps
Alarms are more effective when combined with cameras. Even one visible CCTV camera at the front door can stop most intruders. Cameras also let you check your home from your phone and provide evidence if something does happen.
Professional Monitoring or DIY?
You can either:
- Use professional monitoring — your system is watched 24/7, and help is called if needed.
- Self-monitor — you get alerts and decide what to do.
Systems like the Hikvision AX Pro let you choose either option.
Good Installation Matters
Even the best alarm won’t work well if sensors aren’t placed correctly. Rapid Alarms installs systems properly so there are no blind spots, and everything works reliably.
Don’t Delay on Security?
Every day you delay getting an alarm system, your property is vulnerable. Visible security is one of the biggest factors in preventing burglary.
There are options for every household, from a simple and inexpensive DIY kit to monitored alarms with all the bells and whistles.
