Home Alarm System

Wireless Alarm System Technology

We have a range of wireless security solutions which means they can be installed with no cables and wiring throughout your home.

Our alarm components work using radio frequency (RF) technology to communicate signals to and from the system.

The control unit then communicates wirelessly via the 4G mobile network to our monitoring centre, if an alarm is triggered.

If you need to move home a wireless system is portable and can be quickly uninstalled and moved to your new home.

Alarm Monitoring 24/7

Your home alarm system is monitored by our Adelaide based control room, with trained professionals delivering immediate support – all day every day.

If your alarm is activated, we receive a message from your system and will respond by contacting you, your emergency contacts, and if required – emergency services.

Security Patrols

For a small monthly fee, you can include up to 3 mobile security officer responses to any alarms from your residence per year, as part of your plan.

In the event that your premises alarm has been triggered, SMS Security will follow your alarm instructions, and if none of your after hours contacts are available – we’ll dispatch a patrol to your home to assess the situation, and alert any necessary emergency services if required.

Whether you are away at work or overseas, with our mobile patrol response option you and your family are provided with the professional assistance you may need, giving you the confidence that SMS Security has real people on the ground to help when you need it.

Smoke Detectors

Our wired and wireless smoke detectors integrate with your home alarm system to help provide an extra layer of protection.

If smoke is detected, the detector will trigger your alarm system. Our smoke detectors are armed 24/7 so even when your alarm system is disarmed your smoke detectors will still alarm and alert you.

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) Video Cameras

Home CCTV is a great way of enhancing your security, and acts as a visual deterrent to potential intruders – with cameras available for indoor or outdoor environments.

If you have an SMS Security home alarm system installed and a motion detector triggers the alarm, your CCTV can provide footage and evidence of what has caused your alarm.

With the availability of cost effective, reliable and fast internet options, the ability to view CCTV video from a remote location has become a viable option.

Your system can be setup so that in the event of an alarm, our monitoring operators can view live CCTV footage of your premises, to help determine what caused the alarm – and respond as appropriate.

CCTV Live Video & Recording

Check in whenever you want from your smartphone, tablet or computer to get a live view of what’s going on in your home e.g. find out when the kids arrive home safely after school, or check in on your pets during the day.

Capture motion or event-triggered video clips, making it easy to find exactly what you want to watch later. Get video clips sent directly to you via push or email when the front door opens, the alarm goes off or when motion is detected.

Even when you’re away from home, such as on holiday – your CCTV system can be recording as needed using a Network Video Recorder (NVR). There’s space to record a month of non stop footage, and when set to motion-activated mode, you can store even more.

Record up to 30 days, and connect up to 8 high resolution cameras. Simple to operate & view footage.

NBN vs Mobile Network

For alarm system purposes, even if you’re connected to the NBN (National Broadband Network) for your internet, we’ll advise some alternative options for the alarm dialler, because the Uni-V Port on your NBN connection cannot be relied upon for the transmission of alarm signals to a central station.

Alternatives include Direct Wireless GPRS (mobile network) or (Internet Protocol) IP monitoring, to keep your home alarm system monitoring working reliably.

The Direct Wireless unit is our most popular alternative, as an inexpensive solution for the alarm dialler, which also eliminates the need for the NBN port and its backup battery. This way we can reliably communicate alarm transmissions over a private and secure Telstra GPRS network.

Direct Wireless also has a mobile App available, with pin code access available – so you can arm/disarm your panel and check the system status!

Home Automation

We can install a home alarm system which combines home security, monitoring, and automation – to bring you one solution to help protect and add functionality to your household.

This connects the key systems in your home on one platform so they work more intelligently together.

Our home automation solution allows you to remotely arm and disarm your security system. or you can turn lamps and appliances on to give the impression you are still at home, or off to save energy – and much more…
