How SIPKO Security Helped a Brighton Family Stop a Break-In

Building Trust Through Real Protection and Smart Solutions

It was just after 2am when the Harris family of Brighton, Melbourne was woken by a soft alert on their phones an unfamiliar movement had triggered their backyard alarm. They had just returned from a family holiday days earlier, still settling back in. But thanks to their newly installed security system, what could’ve been a devastating break-in turned into a non-event. Within seconds, their Ajax alarm’s motion detector had activated a loud siren, and real-time notifications were sent to both the family and their monitoring provider. The would-be intruder fled the property before causing any harm.

This wasn’t luck it was smart planning.

The Harris family had recently worked with Sipko Security, a licensed security adviser and installer servicing Brighton and surrounding Melbourne suburbs. Their goal was simple: peace of mind without overcomplicating things. They opted for a custom security setup using Ajax’s wireless alarm system, outdoor motion detectors, and strategically placed CCTV cameras.

Why This Setup Worked

Ajax alarms are known for their rapid response times, mobile control, and sleek design. In fact, according to Security.org, homes without a security system are 300% more likely to be broken into. And when visible deterrents like motion-activated cameras or alarms are in place, the majority of intruders abandon their attempt within 10 seconds.

What set the Harris installation apart was the combination of smart perimeter detection and mobile alerts. Their Ajax system used outdoor motion sensors with pet immunity and tamper-resistant features, which reduced false alarms while still capturing real threats. Paired with HD CCTV footage stored both locally and via cloud access, the evidence was undeniable and the deterrent, powerful.

A Real Result, Not Just a Promise

The attempted break-in not only validated the investment it reinforced their trust in the system. Since then, the Harris family has shared their experience with neighbours and local business owners who’ve also taken action to secure their properties.

Sipko Security continues to support homes and small businesses in Brighton with tailored CCTV and alarm solutions that don’t just protect they prevent. Every property is different, and that’s why each installation begins with a free on-site security appraisal to understand the risks before recommending a plan.

In a time when break-ins in Victoria have increased by over 10% year-on-year (Crime Statistics Agency Victoria, 2024), real stories like the Harris family’s highlight what smart security can achieve.
