Tailored Protection That Keeps Your Business Secure — Day and Night
Businesses face real security threats — from break-ins and theft to unauthorised access and after-hours incidents. Armstrong Smarter Security delivers commercial alarm systems NZ businesses trust to deter threats, respond instantly, and help you meet insurance and compliance requirements. Whether you're running a local retail store or overseeing a nationwide operation, we install smart alarm solutions that protect your people, property, and productivity.

In New Zealand, the Police generally do not attend unverified alarm activations. They require "verification" that a crime is in progress before dispatching a unit.
This is why we strongly recommend combining your alarm with professional monitoring or CCTV. A monitoring station can verify the intrusion via camera or guard response, and then contact the Police with a confirmed report, which ensures a much faster priority response.
A fog cannon is an active security device often used in high-risk retail stores (like dairies, jewellers, or petrol stations).
When triggered, it fills the room with a dense, harmless fog in seconds, reducing visibility to almost zero. This forces intruders to flee immediately because they cannot see what they are stealing or how to navigate the store, preventing theft before it happens.
No, traditional copper phone lines are no longer required. Most modern commercial alarms use a GPRS (mobile data) or IP (internet) connection to communicate with you and the monitoring station.
This is not only faster but also more secure, as there are no physical wires outside the building that an intruder could cut to disable the system.
Yes, the systems we install (such as Ajax, Bosch, and Hikvision) come with intuitive mobile apps.
These allow you to arm and disarm the system remotely, check the status of specific zones (e.g., "Warehouse Door Open"), and receive instant push notifications if an alarm is triggered, giving you total control over your business security from anywhere.
False alarms can be costly, as security monitoring companies may charge for guard call-outs, and frequent false alarms can lead to your system being de-prioritised.
To prevent this, we use high-quality "dual-technology" sensors that require both heat and motion to trigger. We also recommend regular annual servicing to ensure dust, insects, or loose wiring don't cause accidental activations.
