Residential Security Systems for Perth Homes
Rest-A-Sured Security designs, installs and maintains residential security systems for homes across Perth and regional WA, including home alarm systems, CCTV, intercoms and access control. We are WA owned and operated, based in Wangara, have 28 years in the security industry, hold security licence 09458 and have protected 5000 WA clients.
No two houses need the same setup. A townhouse with one entry and a small courtyard has different weak points to a large block with a side gate, a shed and a long driveway. We look at how your property is laid out and used, then recommend the cameras, intercom, access and alarm equipment that covers those points, and nothing you do not need.
The same approach applies whether you are securing a home for the first time, adding to an older system or looking for a team to service equipment that is already installed.
What a Home Security System Usually Includes
Most of the residential security services we provide combine a few systems that work together. The right mix depends on your home, but these are the parts Perth homeowners ask about most.
Home CCTV and Security Cameras
Cameras covering the front door, driveway and side access deter opportunistic intruders and keep a record if something does happen. For residential CCTV in Perth we specify resolution and positioning so faces and number plates are readable at the distances that matter, and we show you how to export a clip for WA Police or an insurer. You can check live and recorded footage from your phone.
Every home CCTV installation we quote is supply and installation together, so the cameras, recorder, cabling and labour are in one price. We also service existing home CCTV systems: checking, cleaning and re-aiming cameras and confirming they are recording. See our CCTV installation service for camera options.
Video Intercoms
A video intercom lets you see and speak to whoever is at the door or gate before you open it. Linked to a smartphone app, the call rings through to your phone when you are out, so you can talk to a courier or release the gate remotely. More detail is on our intercom systems page.
Access Control
PIN entry, fobs and mobile access can replace or sit alongside standard keys at doors and gates. Access can be added or cancelled without rekeying, which suits households where cleaners, tradespeople or family members come and go. Read more about access control systems.
Alarm and Monitoring
An intruder alarm with motion detectors covers the inside of the home and sounds a siren when triggered. On its own it alerts you and your neighbours. Connected to 24/7 monitoring, the signal also goes to a monitoring station that verifies it and acts on it.
Other Security Services
Using, Monitoring and Maintaining Your System
Phone App Viewing and Alerts
Cameras, intercoms and alarm systems can all be linked to a smartphone, and can go further again by integrating with home automation. Depending on the equipment, that means viewing live and recorded camera footage, answering the intercom from wherever you are, and getting an alert when something is triggered. Alarm systems can also be controlled through a mobile app, so you can confirm the house is armed after you have left.
24 Hour Home Security Monitoring
Monitoring is optional, but it changes what happens when you cannot answer your phone. Alarm signals are received and verified by a grade 1 monitoring station, and genuine alerts are acted on, including contacting emergency services where required. If you want 24 hour security for your Perth home, see our 24/7 security monitoring service.
Home Security Maintenance in Perth
A well documented system can also affect what you pay to insure the house, which we cover in how security cameras affect premiums in Perth. A system that is not looked after tends to fail quietly. The most common fault is a backup battery past its life, so the alarm panel drops out the moment mains power does. Cameras also need checking, cleaning and re-aiming, with recording confirmed. We service and upgrade existing home systems, and where the equipment is still sound it can often be upgraded or integrated rather than replaced.
Renters, Landlords and New Builds
If you rent, check with your landlord before any drilling or cabling, as cameras and intercoms are usually fixed to the building. Landlords can use access control to change who has entry between tenancies without cutting new keys. If you are building, plan camera, intercom and alarm cabling before the walls are closed in, as it is far simpler than running it later.
How a Quote Works
Call 08 9309 9500, Monday to Friday 8am to 4pm, or send us an enquiry. We arrange a site visit to look at your entry points, lighting and sight lines, and how your household uses the home. You then receive a written recommendation and quote for the equipment that suits it. For independent advice before you commit, our security consulting service covers risk assessment and system design.
Home Security Tips for Perth Homeowners
01
Walk around your property in daylight and after dark, looking for hidden entries, dark corners and gates that do not latch.
02
Trim hedges and trees near windows and doors, and repair broken fences, so entries stay visible from the street.
03
Check door locks, window locks and security screens for looseness or damage, and fix them before they fail.
04
Fit motion sensor lighting to the driveway, side paths and back door, and put indoor lights on a timer when you are away.
05
Answer the door through a locked security screen or a video intercom rather than opening it to someone you do not know.
06
Point cameras at your own entries, keep the lenses clean and check every few months that each one is still recording.
07
Test your alarm regularly and have the backup battery replaced before it reaches the end of its life.
08
Get to know your neighbours and ask them to collect mail and bring in bins while you are away. Keep travel plans off social media until you are home.
09
Keep passports, jewellery and spare keys in a small safe that is fixed in place.
10
Lock away ladders and tools, and move bins, crates or anything climbable away from windows, fences and the side gate.
