Looking for home alarm installation in Melbourne? Tiger Security designs and installs reliable alarm systems tailored to your property, helping deter break-ins and provide instant alerts when something goes wrong. We protect homes across Footscray, Werribee, Richmond, Hawthorn, Kew, Camberwell, South Yarra, Prahran, St Kilda, and Brighton.
DIY alarm kits are widely available, but incorrect sensor placement, poor wiring, and confusing setup are common issues that leave gaps in coverage or lead to constant false alarms. A professional installation means:
Sensors placed where they’re actually effective — entry doors, windows, and high-risk access points, based on how your home is laid out.
Reliable wiring and backup power so the system keeps working during a power outage.
Correct zoning — so you can arm parts of the house (like the perimeter) while still moving freely inside at night.
A system you’ll actually use — because an alarm that’s confusing or prone to false alerts often gets ignored or switched off altogether.
We recommend sensor types and quantities — door/window sensors, motion detectors, glass-break sensors — based on your home's layout.
Our technicians install the control panel, sensors, and keypad(s), running cabling neatly or using wireless sensors where appropriate.
We set up zones, entry/exit delays, and mobile app or monitoring connections.
We show you how to arm, disarm, and manage the system, including how to add or remove access codes.
One of the first decisions homeowners face is whether to connect their alarm to a 24/7 monitoring service or manage it themselves via a mobile app.
Monitored systems notify a monitoring centre when an alarm is triggered, who can then contact you and, if needed, provide emergency services. This suits homeowners who travel often or want a fully hands-off safety net.
Self-monitored (app-based) systems send alerts directly to your phone, letting you check cameras or contact neighbours or police yourself. This suits homeowners who want more control and no ongoing monitoring fees.
We’ll talk through both options during your assessment so you can choose what suits your household and budget.
Door and window sensors
Motion detectors (including pet-friendly options)
