Can I have an alarm system if I have pets?

Yes. Securitec can install detection devices that will not respond to pet movement but will still detect human motion, allowing your alarm to remain active while your pets move freely around the home.

Will a home or business alarm system reduce my yearly insurance premium?

Most insurance companies recognise the benefit of alarm systems and will apply a discount to your premium. The discount varies with each insurer and depends on your location, the level of system coverage, and any previous claims.

Why do I need CCTV cameras for my home?

CCTV systems are an effective deterrent to criminal activity. In the event a crime is committed, you will have recorded evidence for police investigations. CCTV can also be used to monitor elderly family members, young children, pets, or your property and possessions remotely.

Are the security cameras weather and vandal proof?

Yes. The cameras Securitec installs are IP67 weatherproof and IK10 vandal-proof, making them suitable for outdoor installation in Perth's climate and in high-risk environments.

How can I view my CCTV cameras remotely?

You can view your CCTV cameras remotely via a PC, tablet, or smartphone using a free, easy-to-use app. An active internet connection is all that is required to access live and recorded footage from anywhere.

Can additional cameras be added to my CCTV system in the future?

Yes. Securitec designs all installations to be modular, allowing you to add or remove cameras and upgrade storage capacity as your needs change, without needing to replace the entire system.

What does megapixels (MP) mean for security cameras?

Megapixels identify the camera's capture quality. The higher the MP, the more detail is preserved, giving you the ability to zoom in on recorded footage with less image quality loss. As a guide: 2MP = 1080P Full HD, 4MP = twice the resolution of 1080P HD, and 8MP = 4K Ultra HD.

How can a CCTV system help my business?

Beyond acting as a strong deterrent to criminal activity, commercial CCTV systems provide benefits including stock control, trespassing prevention, theft reduction, Occupational Health and Safety evidence, WorkCover documentation, and eliminating or reducing the cost of security patrols.

What are the basic principles of how alarm systems work?

When a break-in or triggering event occurs, a sensor such as a door contact, motion detector, or smoke detector detects it and sends a signal to the main control panel. The control panel evaluates the signal and, depending on its programming, triggers a response such as sounding a siren, activating a strobe light, or notifying a monitoring station.

Can I move around freely inside my home when the alarm is armed?

Yes. Securitec can configure your alarm system with perimeter protection, securing all accessible entry points. This means detection occurs if any entry point is violated before an intruder enters, allowing you to move freely inside your home with confidence.

What is included in Securitec Security's CCTV packages?

Each package typically includes ultra-high-definition CCTV cameras, a network video recorder (NVR), professional installation, system setup, and warranty. Packages range from 2-camera residential systems starting at $999 up to commercial-grade 4-camera active deterrence systems from $2099.

Can I customise a security package to suit my property?

Are Securitec's security systems NBN compatible?

Can I view my CCTV cameras on my phone after installation?

Yes. All Securitec CCTV systems support remote access. After installation, the team helps set up mobile and PC viewing apps so you can monitor your property from anywhere with an internet connection.

What warranty comes with Securitec's security packages?

All packages include a manufacturer's hardware warranty (typically 3 years for Dahua equipment) plus a lifetime workmanship warranty. If any work performed by Securitec fails due to workmanship, it will be repaired at no cost.

Do you offer security packages for commercial properties?

Does Securitec provide ongoing maintenance and support after installation?

Yes. Securitec offers regular system maintenance, health checks, and ongoing support services to ensure your security system continues to perform at its best long after installation.

How much does a CCTV security system cost in Perth?

Securitec's residential CCTV packages start from $999 for a 2-camera system and range up to $1799 for a 4-camera active deterrence Elite package. Commercial packages start from $2099. All prices are supply and install and include a lifetime workmanship warranty.
