Types of security systems and protection products

There are many types of security systems and protection products in New Zealand which can help you keep your home or business safe and secure.

Burglar alarms

Burglar alarms are very common in New Zealand, which use indoor detectors. These alarm systems detect when a door or window opens and someone enters a space.

Fire alarms

Smoke detectors sense the presence of smoke in your home, with loud fire alarms going off to warn inhabitants and notify the fire department.

Carbon monoxide detectors

Carbon monoxide is deadly when inhaled in large amounts and these detectors detect this colourless and odourless substance to protect you and your family.

Intercoms

Intercoms are a common component of many security systems and allow you to communicate with individuals outside your premises.

Video surveillance

Video surveillance uses security cameras to keep an eye on the property. Some come with features that can detect motion and notify your phone, device or security company.

Environmental sensors

These outdoor sensors can detect extreme weather and outdoor threats. These threats include warning you of low or high temperatures or flooding outside your home.

Monitored home security

Smart home security systems monitor your home 24/7, sending motion detection updates and more to your device or a security company.

The advantages of high-quality security systems and protection products

There are many advantages to choosing a high-quality security system and protection products. The first is to highlight the obvious importance of security for a home or business which is enough to motivate most to insist on only the very best security solutions. High-quality options are robustly designed, often using the latest technology that increases their integrity, making them more secure against a wider range of threats. They also often have more features, like smart home security systems that allow you to connect using your devices giving you controls at the tips of your fingers. They are also often very well supported by reputable brands with security updates and maintenance, as and when required.

How to choose security systems and protection products that are right for you

Choosing the right security system and protection products in New Zealand is dependent on a few things including the situation and environment of your home. While all homes benefit from protection systems, the level of protection you need might vary depending on circumstances and budget. For instance, not all homes will require environmental sensors but those that experience extreme weather will find them hugely beneficial. Similarly, larger properties might require more extensive security systems compared to smaller ones for the simple fact that there are more vulnerabilities to cover. If you have an existing system and are looking for additional protection products for it, you’ll want to ensure these products are compatible with one another. Understanding all the features and benefits of the various options is also important as it’s also a good way to differentiate them from one another.

Is it better to have wired or wireless home security systems?

Both types of home security systems offer advantages. You can easily install wireless options in spaces where you can't place wired cameras. However, wireless options can lose signal and produce spotty feeds.

Do home security systems use a lot of electricity?

No, it doesn't use much more energy than standard household appliances, with burglar alarms averaging between seven to eight watts. Security cameras generally use between two to 15 watts, and a recording device uses around 10 to 40 watts. These figures can change depending on the system's level and use.

Do home security systems work when the power goes out?

It depends on how you organise your home protection system. A wireless system reliant on electricity won't work when the power goes out. However, many protection devices are connected using a landline or cellular network and have a backup battery to run them.

Can you keep your home security system when you move?

Yes, you can move your system with you, as often you've become attached to a specific system and how it works. However, you'll generally need a professional company to uninstall and reinstall your security to ensure everything is done correctly.
