Without correct installation, a security system may fail to work completely, leaving in vulnerable. ArchiPro has chosen some of the best security system installers from around New Zealand to ensure your system is installed exactly as it should be.

Security camera installation

Many security system installers work with security system suppliers to offer CCTV installation bundles, where the whole system can be bought and installed as one unit.

Fire alarm installation

Fire alarms need to be placed in specific locations to function. Smoke alarm installers can help you choose the best places to install fire alarms, and then install them correctly.

Security system maintenance and repair

Over time, your existing security system may wear out or become obsolete. Security system repair and security system maintenance are both best performed by a professional.

Alarm system installation

An experienced security technician can also work with your security monitoring provider to can integrate new security measures with your existing security monitoring setup.

The price of security system installation depends on whether the work covers fire alarms, networked CCTV, or both, as well as the number and location of detectors and cameras and any integration with an existing monitoring setup. Compare quotes by checking which equipment, installation, integration, maintenance or repair work is included, and whether ongoing monitoring is included or excluded. Any allowance for adapting existing equipment should be stated separately so estimates reflect the same scope.

The advantages of hiring a skilled security system installer

A skilled security installation installer in New Zealand will often have experience in which security products are suited for home use and which are best for commercial security system installation. Due to their experience, they’ll also know how to avoid common issues such as installing the wrong type of fire alarm in the kitchen. When it comes to complex arrangements such as networked CCTV cameras or intercom installation, hiring an experienced professional can save you a lot of time and hassle instead of installing it yourself. They also have extensive industry connections to other security professionals which can be of great benefit to you and your project.

How to choose the best security system installer for your project

The most important factors when choosing a security system installer in New Zealand are experience and a willingness to communicate. You need a security technician who will mention if a particular element is placed in a poor position, or if you are using technology not suited for the current task. To provide this advice, a security installer must have the experience in the first place. Don’t be afraid to ask your potential professional what experience and qualifications they have. Some specific questions you may want to ask are:

  • How long has your business been in operation in New Zealand?
  • Are you familiar with the security measures that are appropriate for my project?
  • Are you familiar with security issues in the surrounding neighbourhood, and do you think any extra measures are required?
  • What qualifications or licensing do your technicians have?
  • Can you integrate existing security systems into the new setup during installation?

FAQs

Can you install a security system in an apartment?

Provided both the tenant and landlord are comfortable with it, there is no reason a security system cannot be installed in an apartment in New Zealand.

Are there rules for security camera placement?

You are only allowed to film your own property and public spaces. Filming the neighbours is not allowed. In a commercial setting, employees have the right to privacy in areas such as bathrooms and changing rooms.

How high should security cameras be mounted?

If possible, security cameras should be mounted at around three metres high. This gives a good balance between resolution and field of view.

Can CCTV record in the dark?

Yes, some CCTV setups can record in the dark. However, not all are capable of doing so, so check with the supplier before purchase.
