Alarm systems tuned for Balaclava homes & terraces
Balaclava’s mix of Victorian terraces, narrow laneways and apartment conversions needs alarm systems configured for tight-lot properties and shared entrances. We design alarm coverage that reduces false alarms from street activity while protecting entry points, garages and ground-level windows.
Local considerations
1.
Sensitive perimeter zoning
— zones configured for narrow frontages and courtyard areas to avoid street pedestrian triggers.
2.
Smart false-alarm filtering
— dual-sensor logic (PIR + magnetic/contact) for external access points, lowering nuisance calls.
3.
Discrete installers
— low-profile sensors and cabling routes suited to heritage facades and rental properties.
We work with homeowners, landlords and strata managers in Balaclava to produce alarm plans that meet local preferences (e.g., minimal visible hardware on terraces) and integrate with CCTV or smart home devices when required.
