Security Alarms
The team at Jim’s Security can design a system to secure your home or business using the latest technology. We offer both wired and wireless systems with 24/7 back to base monitoring, or for those that prefer to self-monitor we offer devices that utilise cloud-based IP/GPRS monitoring.
At Jim’s we believe the highest level of security should combine intrusion detection with CCTV. We work with a range of brands and will always recommend the best system for the job, this includes Bosch, Paradox, Hikvision and Dahua. Your customised security system will be installed by a fully qualified, licensed and police-checked Jim’s franchisee.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Control Panel – Brains of the entire security system, should be user friendly and can be installed hidden or in an easily accessible location.
- Key Pad – Use to arm and disarm your system, can be configured to arm only specific detection devices if you wish to remain at home (i.e. lower level PIR’s). Can be upgraded to a touch screen key pad for improved aesthetics and functionality.
- PIR Sensors (Passive infrared sensor) – The most commonly used detection device, these use infra-red technology and are available in Pet-tolerant versions.
- Internal Screamer Siren – To startle the intruder and let him know that he has been detected. Due to their high volume, they make it very difficult for the intruder to stay in the home.

Whilst a hard-wired system will always be our first choice, Jim’s Security also has a range of wireless security solutions which for homes with limited access to roof space. Wireless components work using RF technology to communicate signals to and from the system and customers can expect battery life of 3-5 years.
The added advantage of wireless technology means the system is portable and can be quickly uninstalled and moved to your new home.
We offer systems that give the option of either 24 Hour Back-to-Base Monitoring or self-monitoring. Back to base monitoring requires PSTN (phone line) or GPRS (mobile) connectivity, whilst self-monitoring is generally setup through hard wired IP connectivity.
Most older alarms systems use PSTN (telephone line) for communications back to the monitoring centre, in most cases this method will no longer function once NBN is installed. To reinstate monitoring you will need to add either an IP or GPRS module to enable communications.
