South East Queensland Crime Trends in 2026: What Homeowners Can Do Now

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 00:12:00 GMT

This is a subtitle for your new post

Families across South East Queensland are hearing mixed messages about crime. Some headlines say victim numbers are falling. Others point to rising assaults and ongoing community concern. The honest answer is that both things can be true depending on the suburb, the offence type and the timeframe being measured. Across the latest SEQ regional data, some areas recorded lower overall and property-crime rates, while others still moved in the wrong direction. That means the right response is not fear, and it is not complacency either. It is practical prevention.

Looking specifically at South East Queensland, the 2023–24 regional figures showed overall recorded offence rates falling in areas including Ipswich, Brisbane South, Brisbane Inner City, Moreton Bay North, Moreton Bay South and the Sunshine Coast. But they rose in places including the Gold Coast, Logan–Beaudesert, Brisbane East, Brisbane North and Brisbane West. Property crime showed the same mixed pattern. Brisbane South, Brisbane Inner City, Ipswich and Moreton Bay North improved, while the Gold Coast, Logan–Beaudesert, Sunshine Coast and Brisbane West all recorded increases in property offence rates. In plain English, that means broad statements like “crime is down everywhere” do not hold up well under scrutiny.

Statewide recorded-victim data tells a similar story. In Queensland during 2024, robbery victims fell 7%, unlawful entry with intent fell 9%, and motor vehicle theft fell 4%. Those are encouraging signs for households worried about break-ins and stolen cars. But assault victims rose 5% to 61,644, while sexual assault victims rose 11% to 9,326, the highest level in the series. So the more accurate takeaway is this: some property-crime indicators are improving, but serious personal offending is still a major issue.

More recent government updates have leaned positive. In October 2025, Queensland reported that victim numbers per capita across nine major categories were down 10.8% for January to September 2025, with stolen car victims down 15.6%, break-ins down 21.2% and robberies down 12.6%. In early 2026, the government and ABC again referred to a 7.2% reduction in victims in 2025. But that figure has also been challenged publicly by criminologists over how “victims” were defined and compared. That matters because homeowners deserve facts, not slogans. The sensible conclusion is that there are positive movements in some categories, especially property crime, but there is still enough risk in SEQ to justify taking home security seriously.

So what can people actually do in their own homes?

Queensland Police recommend a layered home security approach. That means looking at security from the outside in: perimeter, walls and access points, internal areas, property and the habits of the people living there. The point is simple. Most break-ins are opportunistic. Offenders tend to look for easy entry, poor visibility, visible valuables, open windows, unsecured keys, weak doors and homes that appear unoccupied.

Start with the basics first, because that is where many homes lose the fight. Keep external doors locked even when someone is home. Make sure doors are solid and fitted with quality locks. Fit proper window locks. Store house keys, car keys, wallets and phones out of sight. Keep garages and sheds shut and locked. Trim trees and shrubs so offenders have fewer hiding spots and better visibility into the property. Add perimeter lighting or sensor lights around vulnerable access points. These are simple steps, but they directly target the sort of easy opportunity offenders look for.

Vehicle security also matters more than many homeowners realise. Queensland Police note that street parking increases the risk of theft. Off-street parking, locked gates and locked garages are better. Doors should always be locked, windows fully closed and valuables kept out of sight. A compliant engine immobiliser is one of the strongest deterrents against opportunistic vehicle theft, but it is still useless if offenders can get easy access to your keys. In many home break-ins, the target is not just what is inside the house. It is the vehicle sitting outside as well.

CCTV and alarms are most effective when they are part of a proper system, not just a box off the shelf. Queensland Police describe CCTV as a crucial investigative tool and encourage households to register cameras through the Community Camera Alliance, which helps police identify where useful footage may exist after an incident. Cameras should be positioned to cover real entry and exit paths, not just random angles. Alarms should protect vulnerable doors, windows and garages. Good lighting should work with the cameras, not against them. And for many households, monitoring is what turns a noise into an actual response.

Neighbourhood habits still matter too. The Queensland Police Safer Together initiative focuses on reducing home break-ins and vehicle theft partly through stronger local awareness and community participation. That means knowing your neighbours, reporting suspicious activity early, and not assuming somebody else will do it. If something is happening right now, call Triple Zero. If it is non-urgent, Queensland Police say residents can report online or contact Policelink on 131 444. Fast reporting helps protect more than one house. It protects the whole street.

At Australian Security Company, the goal is not to scare people. It is to help homes and businesses in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Logan, Ipswich, Moreton Bay and the Sunshine Coast build smarter protection. That means layered security, better entry-point protection, properly positioned CCTV, alarm systems that suit the property, and monitoring that adds real value when seconds matter.

Because whether crime is slightly down, slightly up, or mixed across South East Queensland, the same truth remains: the easier a property looks, the easier it is to target.

CCTV Installation Guide (2026): Cost, Placement & Pro Checklist

CCTV Installation Guide (2026): Cost, Placement & Pro Checklist

If you’re searching “CCTV installation”, you want one thing: footage that’s actually usable when something happens. Not blurry night video. Not cameras pointed at glare. Not a system that stops recording when the internet drops out.

This guide walks you through what matters in a real-world install: camera placement, recording/storage, remote viewing, and the quote questions that stop you getting ripped off.

ASC has been delivering security solutions for over 40 years, including CCTV supply, installation and ongoing support by licensed technicians.

What a “good” CCTV installation looks like (in plain English)

A proper CCTV system should give you:

Clear images at entry points (faces, not just movement)
Reliable recording (correct settings, sensible motion zones, enough storage)
Secure remote viewing (without exposing your system to the internet)
A clean, safe cable run (not DIY spaghetti across the roof)
A proper handover (admin access, passwords, instructions, warranty)

If you don’t get those outcomes, it doesn’t matter how many cameras you bought.

Retail wireless CCTV vs commercial wired CCTV (what’s actually different)

A lot of people compare “wireless vs wired” like they’re equal options. In reality, they’re often two different categories:

Retail wireless systems (DIY kits, Wi-Fi cams, battery cams, app-first, sometimes cloud subscriptions)
Commercial wired systems (PoE cameras, NVR/VMS recording, structured cabling, designed for reliability and scale)

Neither is “always better”. The right choice depends on risk, layout, and how much you care about evidence-grade footage.

Retail wireless systems (DIY / Wi-Fi / battery)

Pros

Fast to install (often same day)
Lower upfront cost (minimal cabling)
Great for rentals or temporary coverage
App setup is usually simple
Cloud features can be convenient (alerts, clips, sharing)

Cons

Reliability depends on Wi-Fi strength and interference (dropouts happen)
Battery cameras can miss events if settings aren’t tuned (sleep/wake behaviour)
Limited control over retention and recording quality in many systems
Often rely on internet/cloud subscriptions for full features
Can get messy at scale (more cameras = more Wi-Fi load + more failure points)
Cyber risk rises if accounts/passwords are weak or firmware is neglected

Best fit

Low to medium risk homes
Rentals where cabling isn’t allowed
Quick deterrence and general visibility
Short-term installs

Commercial wired systems (PoE cameras + NVR/VMS)

Pros

High reliability (each camera has a dedicated wired link)
Stable video quality (better evidence, especially at night)
Scales cleanly (adding cameras doesn’t “crowd” your Wi-Fi)
Local recording keeps working even if internet drops out
More control over storage, retention, motion rules and image settings
Stronger security posture when configured properly (segmentation, controlled access)

Cons

Higher upfront cost (cabling and labour)
More install complexity (roof access, wall penetrations, compliance/safety)
Needs proper design and commissioning (not “plug and play”)
Not always practical in some rentals or restricted buildings

Best fit

Businesses and higher-risk homes
Sites needing evidence-grade footage and longer retention
Any site where missed footage is unacceptable
Multi-camera installs (6+ cameras) where reliability matters

The practical recommendation

If you want a simple rule-of-thumb:

If you want convenience + general visibility , retail wireless can be fine.
If you want reliability + usable evidence , commercial wired is usually the better choice.

Hybrid approach (often the smartest):

Wired cameras for critical points (front door, driveway choke point, side gate, cash/stock areas)
Wireless cameras for secondary angles where cabling isn’t worth it

That gets reliability where it matters without overspending on cabling everywhere.

What drives CCTV installation cost

There isn’t one “standard price” because cost depends on design and difficulty, not just camera count.

The biggest cost drivers are:

How many areas you’re trying to cover properly (coverage plan matters more than camera quantity)
Cabling complexity (double-storey, brick walls, long runs, tricky roof access)
Night performance requirements (cheap cameras fail at night)
Recorder and storage (how many days you want to keep footage)
Remote access setup (done securely vs “quick and unsafe”)
Integration (alarms, access control, intercoms, monitoring)

If two quotes are far apart, don’t ask “why so expensive?” — ask what outcome is different .

Camera placement: the #1 reason CCTV systems fail

Most CCTV systems technically “work”, but fail when you need them because placement is wrong.

The rule that matters

You need identification , not just detection.

That means:

Capturing faces at entry points
Capturing choke points where everyone must pass
Avoiding angles that show the top of a head or a silhouette

Entry point placement tips

Front door: capture a face as they approach , not after they’re under the eave
Driveway: cover approach and departure (two angles can be ideal)
Side access: common “quiet entry” route — don’t ignore it
Rear doors/sliding doors: often poorly lit, often targeted
Business interiors: cover cash handling , high-value stock, after-hours entry paths

If an installer can’t explain the placement logic clearly, you’re buying hardware, not a solution.

Choosing the right cameras (what matters and what’s marketing)

Megapixels don’t fix bad setup

High resolution won’t help if:

the camera is too high
the subject is too far away
the image is backlit or washed out
the lens is wrong for the distance

What matters more than “4K”

Strong low-light performance
Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) for glare and bright backgrounds
Correct lens selection for the distance you need to identify at
Weather rating and vandal resistance where required

Recording and storage: don’t leave this to chance

Two decisions determine whether your system is useful later:

1) How many days of footage do you need?

A lot of people choose “a few days” then realise incidents get discovered late. Storage should match your risk, not a guess.

2) Motion vs continuous recording

Motion recording is normal, but only works well if it’s configured properly:

sensible motion zones (avoid trees and roads where possible)
correct sensitivity
correct night settings
correct frame rate and bitrate

A badly configured recorder produces “video” but not usable evidence.

Remote viewing and cybersecurity (do it safely)

Many CCTV “security incidents” come down to lazy remote access setup.

Minimum standards you want:

Default passwords changed immediately
Separate user logins (not everyone using admin)
Firmware kept updated
Remote viewing set up without insecure exposure
Admin access removed when staff/tenants change

When reviewing a quote, ask:
“How do you set up remote access, and how do you keep it secure?”
If the answer is vague, treat it as a red flag.

Installation quality: what separates pros from “camera chuckers”

A quality install includes:

tidy cabling, properly secured
correct terminations and labelled runs
clean mounting, correct heights and angles
correct network configuration
test and handover with the client

Optional but smart upgrades:

UPS/power protection to keep recording through short outages
network segmentation for business sites
a documented camera plan so future servicing is easy

Quote comparison checklist (steal this)

Before approving any CCTV installation, make sure the quote includes:

Exact camera models and quantities
Lens/viewing angle per camera (wide isn’t always better)
Recorder model and where it will be installed
Storage size and expected retention days
Recording settings assumptions (motion/continuous, FPS, bitrate)
Remote access method
Warranty (hardware + workmanship) and response time
Who owns admin access and what happens at handover
What’s included for cable runs, wall penetrations, patching/cleanup
Ongoing support options

If a quote can’t answer these clearly, it’s not a professional quote.

Practical next step

To get this right quickly:

Write down your top 3 risks (break-ins, theft, after-hours incidents, disputes, staff safety)
Mark entry points and key areas on a rough sketch
Decide how many days of footage you want retained
Get a design that maps each camera to an outcome (face, choke point, coverage)

FAQs

 How many cameras do I need?
Enough to cover entry points, choke points and high-risk areas. Four cameras can be enough if the layout is simple and placement is smart.

Is wireless CCTV worth it?
For convenience and basic visibility, yes. For reliability and evidence-quality footage, commercial wired (PoE) is usually better.

What’s the biggest mistake people make?
Bad placement and poor night setup. You get motion footage that can’t identify anyone.

Should I get 4K cameras?
Sometimes, but placement, lens choice, and night performance often matter more than resolution.

Industry update: MA Services enters voluntary administration — what this means for clients and workers

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 00:39:12 GMT

Immediate security disruption risk: how to stabilise sites and transition providers fast.

In the lead-up to Christmas, the Australian security and facilities services market has been disrupted by the reported collapse of MA Services Group.

ABC News has reported that administrators were appointed to MA Services (a Melbourne-based provider of security, cleaning and maintenance services) and that up to 1,700 roles may be impacted nationally. The report states the administrators have flagged immediate service reductions and redundancies, and noted that certain licensing conditions have been breached—meaning the business may be unable to lawfully continue some core functions. The administrators named in the report are Jason Tracy and Glen Kanevsky of Alvarez & Marsal.

This is an evolving situation. Below is a practical overview of what’s been reported and what organisations should prioritise right now.

What’s been reported publicly

Based on the ABC report:

MA Services delivered security and related services across every Australian state and territory.

Their client base included major retailers (including Coles, Kmart, Aldi, Amazon and Dan Murphy’s), various councils, and Victorian government locations (including Southern Cross Station and Federation Square).

Administrators advised there would be immediate scaling back of services, driven by licensing constraints.

Employee entitlements and wage payments have become a key concern, with the United Workers Union publicly commenting on the risk to affected staff, including workers who may not qualify for certain Commonwealth support schemes.

Coles has also publicly stated it has implemented interim measures while transitioning to a new security provider.

What this means for sites and decision-makers

When a large provider exits suddenly, the operational risk isn’t theoretical — it shows up immediately at the front door, on the floor, and in the incident register.

If you’re responsible for security outcomes (retail, logistics, government, venues, health, or corporate), the priorities are straightforward:

1) Safety and continuity (deliverability)

Validate which sites are exposed today: guards, patrols, control room coverage, after-hours response, keyholding, and contractor access.
Put temporary coverage in place where required (especially high-risk locations, high-foot traffic, and known shrink/violence hotspots).
Confirm who is managing incident response, escalation, and reporting while the transition is underway.

2) Legal and licensing (compliance)

Confirm the replacement provider’s licences and ability to perform the required scope in each state/territory.
Verify guards are correctly licensed, inducted, and award-compliant (rates, rosters, fatigue management, and supervision).
Ensure site instructions, use-of-force limitations, and reporting obligations are current and controlled.

3) Commercial exposure (profitability + cashflow)

Review your current contract position: termination provisions, step-in rights, and service credits.
Tighten purchase order controls and confirm who can authorise emergency coverage.
Avoid “double paying” during handover: reconcile what has been delivered vs. what has been invoiced, and document all interim arrangements.

Supporting impacted workers the right way

A sudden administration event creates real uncertainty for frontline staff—especially in the final pay cycle before Christmas. For organisations engaging new coverage quickly, there is a responsible way to do this:

Use structured mobilisation: licensing checks, quick-turn onboarding, and formal site induction.

Maintain ethical labour standards: correct pay rates, clear rosters, safe hours, and supervision.

Keep client expectations realistic: rapid coverage is achievable, but quality and compliance must not be traded away for speed.

The market will stabilise, but the next 7–14 days will be the pressure point.

Our position and readiness

At Australian Security Company (ASC), our operating model is built around lawful delivery, controlled mobilisation, and auditable outcomes. In periods of industry disruption, the organisations that do best are the ones that treat security as a regulated service — not a commodity.

If your sites have been impacted (or you’re unsure), the fastest path to stability is a short, structured transition plan:

Immediate risk triage (by site and trading hours)
Interim coverage where required
Rapid compliance onboarding (licensing, induction, post orders)
Handover into BAU with reporting and KPI cadence

Need coverage or a transition plan?

If your organisation has been affected by the MA Services administration, we can assist with:

Emergency guarding uplift
Patrol and keyholding support
Site-by-site transition planning
Compliance and award-aligned deployment models

Contact our team to assess exposure, prioritise critical sites, and lock in a compliant continuity plan.

Note: This post is based on publicly reported information from ABC News and administrator statements referenced in that reporting. Details may change as the administration process progresses.

Childcare CCTV Vulnerabilities: Why Professional Installation is Crucial

Tue, 22 Jul 2025 23:54:45 GMT

Are your childcare centre’s CCTV cameras secure?

A recent Channel 7 investigation has brought to light serious concerns about CCTV systems that could be used in childcare environments. According to a leading cyber security professional, many cameras across Australia are exposed online due to poor configuration — not because the centres themselves were compromised, but because individual cameras were left accessible to the public internet, due to improper installation techniques.

What’s the Real Risk?

CCTV camera feeds, sometimes showing sensitive environments such as play areas or entryways, were found publicly accessible. The vulnerability stems from improper setup, such as unchanged default passwords or unsecured internet access. It’s a configuration and installation flaw, not a full breach of the childcare centre’s internal systems.

Why Licensed Security Installers Matter

At AUSSEC, we’ve seen firsthand how often “cheap” or DIY installations skip vital steps in system hardening. Here’s what professional installation ensures:

Secured network access with strong passwords and encrypted feeds
Proper firewall and router configuration to block unauthorized access
Compliance with Australian security standards and licensing laws
Ongoing maintenance and support for future-proof protection
Reassurance for parents, staff, and site operators

What You Can Do

Book a free CCTV audit with AUSSEC today to ensure your system is secure
Only use licensed and qualified professionals for all security installations

Don’t assume your cameras are safe just because they work — configuration matters.

What Does A Mobile Security Guard Do?

Mon, 09 Jun 2025 05:00:52 GMT

Read on to learn more about what a mobile security guard can do for you!

What are Mobile Security Patrols?

A mobile security patrol involves having a security officer visit the premises an agreed number of times throughout the night.

Each of the patrols is carried out at a random time, so there is no obvious pattern. This means would-be criminals have no idea how long they might have to attempt something, before the officer returns.

The frequency of the visits will be agreed as part of the security contract but may typically be anything from one to six patrols a night and may also be required on weekend and bank holiday daytimes.

What Does a Mobile Security Patrol Entail?

Once our officer is on a client’s site they will check for any issues and deal with them appropriately.

For example, they will carry out checks on the buildings to ensure they are fully secure and that no windows or doors have been left unlocked. In some cases, they may also assist with pre-agreed maintenance tasks, such as checking lighting or watering plants.

In addition, mobile patrol officers may be given responsibility for securing and unlocking client sites in the evening and morning. They may also respond to alarm activations.

What Happens if a Security Guard Spots a Problem?

In most cases, issues such as open windows and doors, or lights left on, can be rectified instantly. The guard will record the details – along with taking photos - and an electronic report will then be sent to the customer.

If any serious or urgent issues are detected, the security officer will assess the situation and communicate this to their manager, the key contact at the company and to the emergency services if necessary.

What Training are our Mobile Patrol Security Guards Given?

All security guards are required by law to hold a valid Security license. They also need to have a full, clean driving license.

Our mobile patrol guards are provided with a well-maintained company vehicle and full uniform, including cameras as standard.

Our guards receive ongoing training in various areas of public safety including mobile security operations, conflict management, crime scene preservation and well as mental health first aid and physical first aid.

Australian Security Company are also big believers in supporting the professional development of our teams and are always open to security guards extending their skillset with additional training too.

Wed, 16 Apr 2025 06:19:12 GMT

Going Away this easter?

The Easter holiday season is a time of joy and celebration, but it also presents unique opportunities for theft and vandalism. As you prepare to travel or host gatherings, it's crucial to take preventative security measures to protect your belongings. The unfortunate reality is that homes are often prime targets for burglars when residents are away or distracted by festivities.

Implementing security measures such as installing smart locks, setting up surveillance cameras, or employing mobile security can significantly deter potential intruders. These systems not only provide peace of mind but also serve as a visible reminder that your home is protected. Additionally, consider enlisting the help of a trusted neighbor or friend to keep an eye on your property while you're away.

Investing in these preventative measures isn't just about safeguarding your possessions; it's about ensuring the safety and comfort of your family during what should be a joyous time. By taking these proactive steps, you can enjoy the holidays without the worry of what might happen at home. Prioritize security this season—your belongings will thank you for it!

keep a watch on your property

As the Easter holidays approach, many of us are excited to take a break and spend time with family and friends. However, this often means leaving our homes unattended, which can make them vulnerable to theft and vandalism. Investing in security measures such as CCTV systems, monitored alarms, and mobile security patrols can significantly enhance your property’s protection while you’re away.

CCTV cameras provide a constant watch over your premises, deterring potential intruders with their visible presence. Modern systems allow you to monitor your property remotely via smartphone apps, ensuring peace of mind no matter where you are. Coupled with monitored alarms that alert security personnel at the first sign of trouble, you have a robust defense against break-ins.

Mobile security patrols add an extra layer of protection by conducting regular checks around your property. Their presence alone can deter criminal activity; knowing that trained professionals are monitoring the area makes it less likely for thieves to target your home.

This Easter holiday season, don’t leave your property vulnerable. By incorporating these advanced security measures—CCTV systems for surveillance, monitored alarms for immediate alerts, and mobile patrols for on-ground support—you can enjoy your time away knowing that your home is well-protected. Invest in safety now so you can relax later!

This capability not only minimizes response times but also allows for more informed decision-making during critical situations. With the ability to analyze vast amounts of data instantaneously, these advanced security systems can filter out false alarms and focus attention on genuine risks.

Selecting the Right AI CCTV Solution for Your Needs: Key Considerations

When it comes to selecting the right AI CCTV solution for your needs, several key considerations can make a significant difference in ensuring effective security. First and foremost, customized security solutions are essential. Not all environments are the same; whether you’re protecting a small home or a sprawling business complex, your surveillance system should be tailored to meet specific requirements. This customization ensures that every corner is monitored effectively, reducing blind spots and enhancing overall security.

Next, scalability options are crucial for both businesses and homes. As your security needs evolve—be it due to an expansion of premises or changes in personnel—your CCTV system should be able to adapt seamlessly. Opting for a solution that offers scalability allows you to add cameras or integrate advanced features without needing a complete overhaul of your existing setup.

Lastly, consider the installation and maintenance services that come with your AI CCTV solution. A reliable provider will not only assist with installation but also offer ongoing support and maintenance services. This ensures that your system operates at peak performance over time, allowing you to focus on what matters most while having peace of mind regarding your security.

In conclusion, taking these factors into account when selecting an AI CCTV solution will empower you to make an informed decision that best suits your unique needs—ensuring safety today and adaptability for tomorrow.

False Alarms Can Be Dangerous

Tue, 09 Oct 2018 18:39:00 GMT

As strange as it may sound, false alarms can be dangerous. Why you ask? The reason is simple. A security alarm is in place to protect a building and its contents, including people. If the alarm goes off, that signals to us that you need help.
The problem with false alarms is that if we respond to a false emergency it wastes time, which impacts our ability to protect someone who is in real danger.
Ultimately, responding to an alarm takes resources, such as trained security personnel, vehicles and protective gear. Responding to false alarms thins out these resources, which could have a life or death impact on someone else – someone who is in need of assistance and protection.
False alarms aren’t generally intentional, nor are they usually anyone’s fault. Some may be a bit too slow to type their alarm code in. While others may have pets or young children who accidentally set the alarm off.
Whatever the reason, it’s clear that more often than not, there is no ill intent behind a false alarm. However, it could still have a negative impact on those in your community. Here are 3 checks you can perform to help you reduce the risk of a false alarm:

Prevent false alarms with maintenance

Alarm maintenance isn’t only important in preventing false alarms, it’s also important for your protection.
Servicing and maintaining your alarm system means that your sensors and keypad are all kept in working order. It also ensures there aren’t any weaknesses in your system. Weaknesses that someone could exploit, such as a loose sensor on a window.
In contrast, maintenance also fixes issues such as over sensitive sensors. For example, a door sensor that is too sensitive and triggers your alarm whenever there’s a slight breeze.

Make alarm adjustments

As we mentioned before, false alarms normally aren’t intentional and are often the fault of a pet. For this reason, we suggest contacting us for an obligation-free security assessment.
An assessment will be able to assist you with possible security weak points. Not to mention, it assists you in identifying much-needed adjustments. Adjustments that will accommodate your pets, children and even your lifestyle.
Things such as changing the height of your motion sensors and the sensitivity of the sensors on your windows and doors could assist greatly in preventing false alarms. You could also change the amount of time you have to input your alarm code.

Know your system

Not everyone is technically inclined and getting to know your alarm system may seem a bit frightening. However, you have nothing to worry about.
When we say ‘know your system,’ we mean you should make mental notes of any issues and memorise your alarm code.
So, if a false alarm occurs, you can let your security company know there is an issue with, for example, your door sensor. We also emphasise knowing your alarm code because forgetting it is one of the frequent, but many reasons false alarms happen.
You should also agree on a ‘safe’ word with your security company. So, if your alarm should go off and you don’t need assistance, you can prove that you aren’t in need of help using a single word.

If you would like to find out more about alarm monitoring, or the benefits of having a security assessment, please read out blogs, ” Here’s why you need a security assessment ” and ” Security monitoring, it’s much simpler and more effective than it sounds. ” Alternatively, if you have any security related queries or questions please contact us , we’d be happy to advise and assist you.

An Outdated Home Security System Could Cost You

Mon, 08 Oct 2018 21:35:00 GMT

Just like other types of technology, a home security system will age and become outdated. However, unlike a television, having an outdated security system could cost you a lot more. The cost of an outdated security system could be your possessions or your life.
Older security systems are easier to bypass and hack, which is why updating your home security system is so important. An alarm system update may seem like an unnecessary cost, but the costs of not upgrading are far greater.
Imagine if your outdated alarm system was the reason someone was able to break into your home. What if your old alarm system was the reason a thief could help themselves to your possessions?
We’ve put together a checklist to help you assess whether your security system is in need of an update. If you are unsure about your home security system, contact your security company. Ask them about the following:
Your security system’s age:
Most people aren’t aware that you need to test a security system regularly. In fact, even with testing, the average alarm system needs replacing or updating every 3 to 4 years.
Is your alarm older than 4 years old and you haven’t tested it? We recommend a security system assessment.
Your home security system uses wires:
Older alarm systems typically use wires. Wired security systems use telephone lines to send and receive signals. These signals are how your system communicates with your security company’s monitoring centre.
Just to clarify, wires aren’t always a bad thing. But, it’s definitely time for an upgrade when the safety of your home relies on old technology.
Nowadays, home security systems use wireless connections. Being wire-free also has the advantage of being much harder to tamper with or damage. It also allows you to have remote access to your home security system.
Alarm monitoring isn’t part of your home security system:
Is your home security system linked to a security monitoring centre?
Security company’s use CCTV footage to help with alarm monitoring . Ultimately, security monitoring centres use both CCTV footage and alarm signals to verify your safety. Furthermore, if there is any suspicious activity on your property, they can notify authorities on your behalf.
The Australian Security Company have licensed security consultants available to assist you. Contact us, and our highly trained staff will help you find a solution suited to your security needs.
Older security systems often don’t include CCTV ( closed-circuit television ) cameras. The reason for this is because their software is too old or incompatible.
