About Watchdog Alarms

Perth security, done properly.

Established in 2000, Watchdog Alarms has been protecting homes and businesses across Perth for more than 25 years.

We specialise in professionally installed alarm, CCTV and monitoring systems, with a particular focus on quality workmanship, reliable technology and security solutions that are designed around the property — not simply pulled from a standard package.

We believe a security system should be easy to use, look right in your home or business and, most importantly, work when you need it.

Watchdog Alarms Pty Ltd is directed by Michael Drummond, with Jordan Mills as General Manager. We are a WA-licensed security firm, Master Licence SA12449, ABN 65 603 879 438, based in Applecross WA 6153.

We look after independent retail across Perth. The Good Grocer named us Partner of the Year — we do every store. Same for Taylor Road IGA in Nedlands, and Somic at London Court in the city, the Cottesloe shop, and The Furniture Gallery in Claremont.

Experience you can rely on

Our experience extends beyond installing security equipment. With more than 10 years of crime-detection experience with WA Police, we understand security from both sides — how properties are targeted and how the right combination of equipment, installation and monitoring can help protect them.

Every system we install is tailored to the individual property. Whether you need a simple home alarm, a fully integrated commercial security system, CCTV, access control or 24/7 professional monitoring, we'll recommend what suits your needs rather than what is easiest to sell.

Quality equipment. Professional installation.

We work with established security brands including Alarm.com, DSC, Hikvision and Uniview, giving our customers access to proven technology backed by professional local installation and support.

We're particularly focused on the quality of the finished installation. Equipment should be positioned correctly, cabling should be neat and discreet, and your system should complement your property rather than detract from it.

Local support after the installation

Our relationship with our customers doesn't end when the installation is finished.

Watchdog Alarms is a Perth-based business, and our team provides ongoing service, technical support, maintenance and monitoring for the systems we install.

You'll deal with people who know security, understand your system and are available when you need assistance.

Security made simple.

Good security doesn't need to be complicated.

Our job is to understand what you need, recommend the right solution, install it properly and make it simple for you to use.

Client Reviews

    "Watchdog Alarms has provided exceptional service. We installed an alarm through another provider and have had nothing but problems. Watchdog Alarms have been very responsive to our needs and provided efficient, friendly service."

    "Outstanding customer service, installation hassle free and very good workmanship Mike who I dealt with is awesome. After doing research and getting a few quotes from alarm companies in Perth, I'm very happy I went with Watchdogs. The mobile app is very good, user friendly and you know exactly what's happening around your home when your away from it. I would recommend watchdogs to family and friends."

    "This is the firm if you are seeking a professional, responsive outfit at a competitive price. Unlike some of the competition, you purchase the equipment, you own it.....it does not remain the property of the security company (like ADT). The technicians, company director and support staff are all top notch. Unlike many firms, the after sales service is fantastic. There are no hidden costs and the attention to detail is second to none. I would recommend Mike and his team to anyone needing a monitored security system. If you're not sold on this review - get Mike out to review your needs and provide a quote BEFORE you sign up with someone else. Sam (Swanbourne client)"

    "Mike and Jordan provided an excellent service. They installed security cameras in my retail store and engaged (fixed) the old alarm. I'm so incredibly happy with the scope and quality of the new security cameras, and I'm satisfied the alarm monitoring will provide me piece of mind."

    "I was looking for a trustworthy company to replace my whole security camera system and alarm monitoring, I am so glad I found Mike from Watchdog Alarms. Mike was very pleasant to deal with, he’s extremely friendly and very understanding. He was very patient in explaining what’s best suited for my needs and very up front with all the costs. Mike also has a very high standard on the services he provides and the installation carried out. For example, the monitoring service he provides is located in WA, which makes his service much more efficient at a competitive price compared to most that are monitored interstate. Mike also went above and beyond to make sure I was 100% satisfied with the services he provides. So big thanks to Mike and everyone in Watchdog Alarms, can’t say I have better experience than this."

    "Highly recommend Watchdog Alarms. Had my old alarm system replaced by Watchdog last year, and cameras added to the system recently. Couldn’t be happier with the system - was tailored perfectly to my needs. Mike is always great to deal with, and couldn’t ask for a better installer than Jordan. Overall a 5 ⭐️ experience."

    We received excellent customer service and quality work from the Watchdog Team. They added smoke detectors and a duress button to our office alarm system and provided practical advice to keep cost down and meet requirements. Jordan was super communicative and Mickey did a great job with the installation and explaining the changes. Highly recommend Watchdog Team.

    Customer service and product knowledge/quality of the product was first class. Installation staff were efficient, polite, respectful and friendly. The job was done without fuss. After sales service second to none, which is important if there are any queries after completion of the job. Thanks Mike! Once again, I am a very happy (return) customer. Highly recommend this business.Ros Blake
