Alarm System Installation in Melbourne (Residential)
Advanced Alarm Systems for Enhanced Home Security in Melbourne
We install residential alarm systems in Melbourne for houses, townhouses, and apartments — designed around your entry points and daily routine, and configured for clear, reliable alerts.
Before we install, we check the typical risk points (front door, garage access, side gates, rear entry and shared walls) and map the sensors to how you actually move through the home. The result is a setup that’s simple to use every day, and doesn’t overwhelm you with unnecessary notifications.
What you get with a SIPKO residential alarm system:
- Licensed & insured installation by trained technicians, with safe and compliant setup.
- Clean, tidy finish with careful placement and neat wiring where applicable.
- Correct configuration — zones, entry/exit delays, user access, and notification rules set properly.
- Warranty & support — handover, app setup, and help when you need changes or add-ons.
If you’re upgrading an older system, we can also review existing devices and recommend a practical path forward — keeping what still works and improving what doesn’t.
The goal is simple: a system that’s easy to use every day and dependable when it matters.

Alarm options to match how you live
Choose how your system is built, how it’s monitored, and what to do if you already have an older alarm in place.
Wired vs wireless alarm systems
We recommend wired, wireless, or hybrid based on your layout and whether you’re renovating — aiming for a clean install and reliable coverage without overcomplicating the system.
- Wired: ideal for renovations/new builds and larger homes where cables can be concealed.
- Wireless: fast installs in finished homes and apartments with minimal disruption.
- Hybrid: smart mix when you have existing cabling or legacy sensors worth keeping.
Monitoring options
You choose how alarms are handled: app-only self-monitoring, or professional monitoring with a pre-agreed escalation plan based on your preferences and property.
- Self-monitoring: instant app alerts, event history, and remote arm/disarm.
- Professional monitoring: events are handled under an agreed call/escalation procedure.
- Your choice: key-holder contacts, patrol attendance (where available), or combined scenarios.
Upgrades & takeovers of older alarms
If you have an older Bosch, DSC, Hills (or similar) system, we can often upgrade to modern app-controlled hardware while re-using compatible cabling and devices where it makes sense.
- Health check first: we confirm what’s working and what’s worth replacing.
- Cleaner upgrade path: minimal mess and no unnecessary wall chasing.
- Stay covered: we plan the changeover so protection is maintained throughout the upgrade.
