Our security audit includes:
You’ll know who is working on your home, what system is being installed, and how it all works before we leave the site.
Your home’s security starts with the right system, installed by the right people. Armstrong helps you choose, install, and manage an alarm setup that works for your home, your family, and your budget.
Not if you use pet-friendly sensors. These are designed to ignore movement from animals up to a certain weight (usually around 20kg to 40kg) while still detecting human intruders.
We can adjust the sensitivity during installation to ensure your pets can roam freely without triggering false alarms.
Our security remains active even during a blackout. All the alarm systems we install, whether wired or wireless, come equipped with backup batteries.
This ensures the system continues to protect your home and will sound the siren if an intruder attempts to enter while the mains power is down.
It depends on your property. Wired alarms are excellent for new builds where cables can be hidden inside walls during construction.
Wireless alarms, like the Ajax system, are better for existing homes because they install quickly without drilling holes or running messy cables, yet they still offer the same high level of security and encryption.
No, a monthly fee is not mandatory. Many modern systems allow "self-monitoring" via a smartphone app, so you get alerts directly to your phone.
However, we do offer professional 24/7 monitoring services if you prefer having a dedicated security centre watch over your system, which provides an extra layer of safety.
No, you do not need a traditional copper landline. Modern alarms use internet connections (IP) or mobile SIM cards (GPRS) to communicate.
This is faster and more secure than old phone lines, ensuring you receive instant notifications on your mobile device wherever you are.
