If you live here in Christchurch, feeling secure at home or at work is likely extremely important to you.
Your gate is not just for show; it’s the first barricade between your property and the outside world. And if you have an alarm at the gate so that you find out immediately if someone’s trying to get in who shouldn’t – even better.
At Action Security, we’ve had Cantabrians protected since 1981. We have observed for more than a decade how even the simplest gate alarm can help to save lives.
It’s often the starting point for a more robust security solution, and when surrounded with:
…it offers genuine peace of mind.
Your gate is usually the first place someone will try if they want to access your property. Without an alarm, you might not even know they’ve been there. With one, you’ll be alerted the moment it happens.
✔ Instant notifications – Be alerted the second your gate is opened.
✔ Sleep well – Forget about your door and enjoy a great night’s sleep knowing that your entryway is secure.
✔ Deterrent effect – Visible alarms and cameras significantly reduce the risk of thieves breaking into your houses.
✔ Easy to connect – Compatible with alarm systems, intercoms, and CCTV.
✔ Affordable security – A small price to pay for big-time protection.
We’ve had a lot of customers tell us that when they added one of our gate alarms, it made them feel like their property was “properly locked down” for the first time. And not just repelling intruders, but feeling secure when you’re in your own space.
Security, for families, doesn’t just mean protecting valuables; it means ensuring loved ones are safe. A home gate alarm offers you an additional layer of security, especially when used in conjunction with other security systems.
This configuration results in you taking control wherever you are.
The ability for our customers based in Christchurch to receive an alert on their phone has been a game-changer; they can watch their property without being there.
If you run a business, you’ll know how important it is to control who comes and goes. From warehouses to office car parks, a gate alarm can stop unauthorized access before it becomes a problem.
Common business setups include:
Take a Christchurch construction company we recently worked with. They had issues with people entering their site after hours. By installing a gate alarm linked with CCTV and access control, they cut down on trespassing overnight. Now, staff can enter easily during the day, but anyone else is met with a locked gate, an alarm, and cameras recording every move.
Yes, you can. We can install sensors that connect directly to your alarm system. If someone forces your gate, you’ll get an alert through a siren, app, or even your intercom.
Some personal alarms for the elderly in New Zealand are subsidised, but they aren’t always free. While these are different from gate alarms, many of our Christchurch customers combine both personal alarms for elderly family members and home alarm systems for overall protection.
It really depends on your property. Smaller homes may only need a simple wireless alarm. Larger homes or farms often need long-range detectors that link to CCTV and intercoms. At Action Security, we recommend the best system for your layout rather than a “one-size-fits-all” option.
Costs can vary:
That’s why we always offer a free appraisal so you’ll know what works best for your budget and your home.
These days, automation is making security systems easier to use. You can have your gate, alarm, locks, and CCTV all working together, controlled from your phone.
