Alarm Monitoring FAQs
How much does alarm monitoring cost in Perth?
Alarm monitoring in Perth typically costs $35-$65 per month depending on features. Basic residential monitoring starts from $35/month, while commercial monitoring with additional features ranges from $45-$65/month. Video verification monitoring is available from $55/month. No lock-in contracts are required.
How does 24/7 alarm monitoring work?
When your alarm triggers, a signal is sent to our Australian monitoring station within seconds. Trained operators receive the alert, verify the alarm type, attempt contact with you via phone/SMS, and dispatch police or emergency services if required. You receive instant notifications via app and SMS regardless of the response action taken.
Do I need alarm monitoring or can I just use my phone?
Professional monitoring provides police dispatch service - police respond faster and with higher priority to verified monitored alarms than self-reported incidents. Monitored systems also work during internet/power outages via cellular backup, and protect your property when you're unavailable, asleep, or on holiday.
What is video verification monitoring?
Video verification uses CCTV cameras to confirm alarm events in real-time. When your alarm triggers, monitoring operators review live camera footage to verify if it's a genuine intrusion. Verified alarms with video evidence receive priority police response and help you avoid false alarm penalties.
Will my existing alarm work with monitoring?
Most modern alarm systems can be connected to monitoring services. We can assess your current alarm and add monitoring capability with a communication module (IP, cellular, or phone line). Older systems may require upgrade for reliable monitoring.
What happens if my internet goes down?
Professionally monitored alarms include cellular or phone line backup. If your internet fails, the system automatically switches to cellular network to maintain connection with the monitoring station. Your protection continues uninterrupted.
Can I get insurance discounts with monitored alarms?
Yes, many insurance companies offer 10-20% premium discounts for properties with professionally monitored alarm systems. Contact your insurer to confirm eligibility and required certification documentation.
Are monitoring stations in Australia or overseas?
We use Australian monitoring stations staffed by local operators who understand Perth geography, police protocols, and work in your time zone. Your alarms are monitored locally, not outsourced overseas.
What if I trigger a false alarm?
The monitoring operator will call your contact numbers to verify. If you answer with your safe word/code, they'll cancel the response. If you don't answer or provide an incorrect code, police are dispatched as a precaution. Some councils charge false alarm fees after multiple false callouts.
Can I cancel monitoring anytime?
Yes, our monitoring services are month-to-month with no lock-in contracts. You can cancel anytime with 30 days notice. We also offer annual contracts with discounted rates if you prefer.
