How much does it cost to install a Home Alarm System?

Having an alarm system installed is a great, cost-effective first step to securing your home. With so many different products and services available, it can be hard to know how much you should be spending on a new alarm.

On average, Australians will spend anywhere from $800 to over $2000 on a professional grade alarm system. Keep in mind that this price is heavily influenced by the type of system needed, the size of the system and additional hardware required etc.

Wireless Alarm Systems, such as the Hikvision AX Pro are some of the latest and greatest technology on the market. Wireless systems generally require more investment for the hardware than a hard-wired system, however the extra cost is more than made up for in savings through installation costs. They are very flexible, and can be easily tailored to suit the specific needs of all homes.

Hard-Wired Alarm Systems are still the preferred choice for many Australians. Depending on access for cabling and the number of zones required, a hard-wired system may not always be more cost effective than a wireless solution.

Jim’s Security Alarm packages can be tailored to meet all specific needs and budgets. Get in touch with your local Jim’s Security franchise today to find out how to best protect your home within your budget.

Honesty is the best policy and I am happy to say I’ll be recommending them to all my neighbors. It’s really hard to find people that actually want to get the best for you and Jim’s did. Thankyou

Mark is friendly, on time, professional, and more than anything, very good at what he does. He identified the issue quickly, explained it to me clearly, and fixed if for a fair price quickly. Can't ask for more!!

Nick provided a stress-free service: he came on time, was fast and efficient, and was pleasant to deal with. Highly recommend.

From the initial inspection and quote, to the time of installation, Glen was courteous and professional. He provided a well thought out recommendation of which alarm system to get based on our needs.

On installation day, George did a great job of locking everything down and explaining all the howto's & features. Thank you Glen and George for your excellent service.

Shaun did a fantastic job. He completed the job in a timely manner and am impressed with my new system that he installed. He recommended a great product. He also took the time to show me how to use the system. I highly recommend him.

Tim’s team at Jim Security did a fantastic job installing a brand new 4K 7 camera security system along with a well functioning alarm system. The guys did an outstanding job with the cabling through what was a challenging house. You can’t see anything. The cameras were positioned well, and all aspects of how to use the new tech were explained clearly and in detail. From the moment of quote through to supply and install, you simply couldn’t fault them. 20/10, will 💯 use them again in the future. Thanks again guys!

We wouldn't be happier with our service from Tim and the team. Super professional, great products and advice, and a really thorough installation. The techs spend plenty of time showing us how to use the devices and were all really polite and respectful. I wish all contractors were like this!

We used Jim's Security Sydney for three CCTV cameras and found them to be really excellent! Everyone we spoke with was responsive and helpful and the installation team were polite, professional and great problem solvers on the day. We could not recommend the team more highly!

I called Jim's Security due to several car break ins in the area. They were more than helpful with product and pricing to suit my needs. They were professional in all dealings from start to finish.

The guys at Jim's Security did an incredible job with our camera installation.

Called Jim's Security as had an urgent security matter I needed assistance with. Even though Jim's did not install or sell the brand of CCTV system I had, still took the time to understand my situation and offered what ever assistance they could. They showed up within 30 minutes, sorted my issue, I was more than impressed with the service I received. I would highly recommend Jim's to everyone. I will not use anyone else.

I really wasn't sure using Jims security thinking it might be expensive. They are amazing great price great service. Will be calling them back to do more work around the house.

I had a great experience dealing with Shaun. He installed 6x Dahua cameras at my home. He did very neat installation and was very easy to deal with. The best part is he never looked in a hurry to finish the job and took his time to ensure top quality work. I would highly recommend Shaun for CCTV installation and cabling work.

Really great company to work with. The guys were really friendly, helpful and professional. They took their time to go through the system and how it works with you and offer on going support. Would highly recommend.

Glen solved all our problems easily. Prompt, professional and could not be any more efficient. 100 per cent positive. On phone 3 others ummed and arghed. Glen just came along and fixed it. All businesses should be run this way.

My whole experience with Jims Security was a breeze. I rang the receptionist and she booked it in for a time that suited me. Half an hour before he arrived I got a call he was on his way which I appreciated. He was extremely friendly, followed all covid safe protocol and cleaned up after himself. (New sockets in walls left plaster dust) I would definitely use again if I needed any more jobs done and I would recommend to friends and family.

Highly recommend Tim, Jordan and Glenn. They have been excellent to deal with from quote to installation. Professionally upgraded an old system to a new user friendly one with a competitive price . They were prompt, explained how it all works and cleaned up after themselves.

Would highly recommend to anyone looking to have a security system installed. This is what good old fashioned Customer Service looks like.

Prabhu and his team at Jim's Security were absolutely top class with the work they did for our property. They installed a full alarm system and updated our intercom and front gate mechanism.

I would recommend them to anyone looking to install a security system of any sort. Thanks again Prabhu, Ryan and the team.

We recently had a security system installed by Shaun, and would highly recommend. We are very happy with the security cameras and alarm system that was installed. We feel peace of mind knowing our home is protected. Shaun was professional and a pleasure to have around when installing, my baby and dog loved him! He explained the system and how to work it. He has also been easy to contact with any questions since it has been installed - no helplines or call out fees like other companies! We are very happy we went with someone local, and will be using Shaun in the future.

Great guys. Communication from start to finish was excellent. Jordan was really good with the installation. He took pride in his work and wanted to deliver the best service he could. He tried hard to meet all our requirements and where it wasn't possible, through no fault of his own, he would offer up a number of alternatives and ask how WE would like to proceed. Would gladly recommend.

Extremely happy with the security cameras Shaun helped to installed at my mum's place. Shaun's professionalism and his responsiveness was excellent and was always willing to assist, with his patience to explain on how to use the system and app. The quality of the cameras provided are fantastic and the mobile app is extremely easy to use. Thank you Shaun for the work provided and I will highly recommend your services to anyone.
