These days, the security of your home requires more than a decent lock on the front door. Christchurch and Canterbury home owners are increasingly opting for professional alarm security in their homes. And with good reason: a properly installed system can safeguard your family, your stuff, and your peace of mind.

Come to Action Security we’ve been providing peace of mind for civilians since 1981. We’ve worked on everything from tiny city homes to enormous rural properties, and we know no two safety needs are alike. Whether you just need basic security alarm monitoring or a fully integrated security system with other features such as CCTV cameras and access control, installation has everything to do with it.

Here’s why getting a professional to install your alarm system is worth every dollar.

1. Your System is Built for Your Home, Not Someone Else’s

Each home is full of idiosyncrasies: odd corners, hidden entry points, this place in the kitchen you can’t see from the living room behind you. That’s why a “one-size-fits-all” kit from the hardware store often comes up short.

When we put in a system, we walk through your property. We look for:

  • The optimal locations for motion sensor placement.
  • Dead zones where intruders can creep in.
  • The best spots to place CCTV cameras to get the best coverage.

At the end of our chat, you’ll have a customized security system that’s built for your home and the way you live in it.

2. Better Equipment That Lasts

There’s a big difference between a budget alarm kit and the gear we use. Our systems are built for reliability, not just for the shelf. Think:

  • Pet-immune motion sensors that won’t set off the alarm when your dog strolls past.
  • High-definition CCTV cameras that give you clear images day and night.
  • Smart control panels that are easy to operate and can connect to your phone.
  • Integration with automatic gates and intercom systems so everything works together.

It’s equipment we trust enough to put in our own homes.

3. Everything Works Together

Doing security well is about more than having an alarm; it’s about tying everything together. Imagine this:

  • Now it's your House alarm that is activated.
  • Your CCTV camera records what is going on immediately.
  • You hear a beep on your phone and see a live video.
  • Access Control and Remote Control Gates

You will have the flexibility to open or close gates with your access control.

That’s the kind of slick, stress-free protection you get when everything is handled by someone who knows what they’re doing.

4. Monitoring That Has Your Back

An alarm going off is only half the story; what matters is the response. With 24/7 monitoring, you don’t have to wonder what’s happening while you’re at work or away on holiday.

If your system is triggered, our monitoring centre jumps into action:

  • We check the situation straight away.
  • You’re contacted immediately.
  • If necessary, emergency services are sent without delay.

It’s a level of backup you can’t get with an unmonitored system.

5. Fewer False Alarms, More Peace of Mind

Nothing’s more annoying than your alarm going off for no reason. Worse still, repeated false alarms can make neighbours ignore it when it matters. Professional installation prevents this because:

  • Sensors are placed correctly.
  • Settings are adjusted for your home and pets.
  • The whole system is tested before we leave.

6. Operators Local Support When You Need It

We’re based in Christchurch, where life is all about family & fun.

What that also means for you is that should anything happen with your alarm, CCTV, or access control systems, we get to you as quickly as we can (wherever you are in Essex or London).

No call centre waits, no delays waiting weeks for parts to arrive—just friendly, genuine help from wise old business heads who have run and owned Canterbury appliance services for over 40 years.

Frequently Asked Questions About House Alarm Installation in Christchurch

How much does house alarm installation in Christchurch cost?

It really comes down to what features you are looking for.

  • An entry-level alarm system could run you about $800–$1,200 installed.
  • If you’re looking for any additional features such as CCTV cameras, smart controls, or access control, then you’re looking at between $2,000 and $5,000+, depending on what you require.

We provide free estimates, so you will never be surprised by the bill we present to you.

Is a house alarm worth it?

Absolutely.
A burglary alarm is the best way to frighten an intruder away from your house. The mere presence of an alarm or CCTV camera can be enough to make an intruder think twice.

Add 24/7 monitoring, and that sets you up with the full security solution, keeping you safe through the day and night.

What is the best alarm system for a home in Christchurch?

There’s no single “best” system, it depends on what is best for your home. For homeowners in Christchurch, you have plenty of options:

  • Wireless alarms (e.g., Bosch or Ness) for flexibility and an easy upgrade path.
  • Pet-tolerant motion detectors so you are never caught with false alarms.
  • Alarms, CCTV, and access control solutions that are interoperable for complete protection.

The trick is to have it professionally installed so that it operates perfectly from day one.
