Nothing brings quite the same peace of mind as knowing your home is safe and secure.
Whether you're away for the weekend, at work during the day, or fast asleep at night, you want to know your home — and your family — are well protected.

At Action Security, we’ve been keeping Christchurch homes secure for more than four decades. As locals ourselves, we understand that every house has different needs. That’s why we take the time to design a security solution that’s tailored to you, not just something off the shelf.

Why More Christchurch Homeowners Are Installing Alarm Systems

We talk to homeowners across the city every day — from Rolleston to Rangiora, Sydenham to St Albans — and the message is clear: more people want to feel safe at home.

Some have had a scare with a break-in. Others are just being proactive. Either way, a modern home security system offers:

  • Instant alerts if someone’s trying to break in
  • A fierce siren to scare off intruders
  • Live video feeds are accessible straight from your phone
  • Better control over who’s coming and going
  • More peace of mind while you’re away

And just as importantly, it helps you feel secure, whether you're clocking out late or heading away on holiday.

What We Can Install for You

Every home is different. Some want the full package — alarm, CCTV, access control, and smoke alarms. Others prefer something more modest. That’s where we come in.

Here’s what most Christchurch homeowners ask for:

Alarm Systems

We install user-friendly, reliable alarms. You’ll get motion sensors, door/window sensors, and loud sirens — all controllable from your phone. Got pets? No problem — we’ve got pet-friendly sensors too.

CCTV Cameras

Our cameras shoot in full HD (some in 4K), with night vision and motion detection. You can check your live feed from your phone, whether you're at work or overseas.

Access Control

Don’t want strangers knocking on your door or entering uninvited? We can install intercom systems, gate control, and keypad access, so you decide who gets in.

Smoke & Fire Detectors

These can be connected to your main alarm system, meaning you’re alerted not only in the event of a break-in, but also if there’s a fire.

How Much Does a Home Security System Cost in NZ?

We get this question a lot.

How much does a basic alarm system cost?

For most Christchurch homes, a basic alarm system installation costs between $1,000 and $1,500 — this includes setup, motion detectors, and a control panel.

What about a full home security setup?

If you’re after the full works — alarms, cameras, access control — expect to pay between $3,000 and $8,000, depending on the size of your property and the number of devices needed.

Common Home Security Problems We See in Christchurch

After years of visiting homes across the region, here are a few things we’ve noticed:

  • Garages and side entrances are often unmonitored
  • Many homes lack cameras for driveways or blind spots
  • DIY systems are often set up wrong (and still get triggered by pets!)
  • Some alarm systems are over 15 years old and no longer work

That’s why we recommend a quick site visit — we’ll spot the issues and suggest easy fixes.
