Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between wired and wireless security systems?
Wired security systems use physical cables to connect cameras, sensors and alarms to a central control panel or recording device. They're reliable, harder to tamper with, and often preferred for large or long-term installations. Wireless systems transmit data over Wi-Fi or radio frequency, making them quicker to install and more flexible (great for renters or homes without pre-run cabling).
However, they rely on signal strength and battery life, and may require more maintenance or updates. The best option depends on property size, layout and how permanent the system needs to be.
How many cameras do I need for a home?
It depends on your layout and what you want to monitor. Most single-level homes are covered with 4–6 cameras, typically placed at front and back doors, driveway, garage, and any side access points. Larger homes, corner blocks or properties with outbuildings might need more.
High-traffic or blind spots also matter. A professional installer will help you plan camera placement based on coverage angles, lighting conditions and recording goals (e.g. licence plates, faces, motion zones).
Do security systems work without internet?
Yes, many systems can still function locally without an internet connection. Wired CCTV systems with a local DVR will continue recording even if Wi-Fi drops out. Alarms and sensors connected to a base station will still trigger sirens.
However, you’ll lose remote access features like live viewing, push notifications and cloud backups. If constant connectivity is essential, we recommend battery backups and 4G failover options to keep you covered even during outages.
Keep What Matters Most Safe
Security’s not just about cameras anymore, it’s about control. You want to know who’s been on-site, when gates opened and what’s happening after hours without having to scroll through hours of grainy footage. We design systems that give you visibility when you need it and automation when you don’t, meaning app-based notifications for movement in your driveway, remote disarming for deliveries or intercoms that let you see and speak to visitors from anywhere. The benefits of our security systems include:
- Deter break-ins and protect property 24/7
- Monitor movement and access from your phone
- Keep homes and businesses secure with ease
