Home Alarm Monitoring
Watchdog Alarms provides flexible home alarm monitoring in Perth, with options ranging from instant alerts to your phone through to 24/7 professional alarm monitoring.
Whether you want to keep an eye on things yourself or have a professional monitoring centre respond when your alarm activates, we'll help you choose the level of monitoring that suits your home.
Home Alarm Monitoring Perth
An alarm is most effective when someone knows it has activated.
With a monitored Watchdog alarm system, an activation can generate an immediate notification so you know what's happening at your property — whether you're at work, away for the weekend or travelling overseas.
Choose from self-monitoring through the Alarm.com app or professional 24/7 monitoring through an ASIAL-certified Grade A1 Monitoring Centre.
No lock-in contracts. Flexible monitoring. Local Watchdog Alarms support.
24/7 Professional Alarm Monitoring
For an additional level of protection, your Watchdog alarm can be connected to a professional Grade A1 Monitoring Centre operating 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
If your alarm sends an event to the monitoring centre, trained monitoring personnel can follow your nominated response instructions and, where appropriate, coordinate services including:
Alarm response
Mobile security patrols
Emergency services
Your response plan can be configured around your requirements so the monitoring centre knows who to contact and what action should be taken when an alarm event is received.
Self-Monitoring or Professional Monitoring?
There's no single monitoring option that's right for every home.
Self-Monitoring
A good choice if you want alarm notifications sent directly to you and are comfortable deciding what to do when an alert is received.
Professional Monitoring
A good choice if you want your alarm monitored around the clock by a dedicated monitoring centre, including during times when you may be asleep, working, travelling or unable to respond to your phone.
We'll explain both options and help you decide which level of monitoring suits you.
Going Away? Upgrade Your Monitoring
You don't necessarily need professional monitoring all year round.
If you normally self-monitor but want additional protection while you're travelling or away from home, talk to Watchdog Alarms about upgrading to professional monitoring.
Our flexible approach means you can choose the monitoring service that suits your circumstances without being locked into a long-term contract.
Monitoring That Doesn't Rely Solely on Your Home Internet
A security system should still be able to communicate when something goes wrong.
Compatible Watchdog alarm systems can use cellular communication rather than relying solely on your home's internet connection.
This provides a dedicated communication path for supported alarm and monitoring services and reduces reliance on your home broadband connection.
Self-Monitoring From Your Phone
Want to monitor your home yourself?
With Alarm.com, your alarm system can send notifications directly to your compatible smartphone or smart device, allowing you to keep track of your home wherever you are.
Depending on your system and configuration, you can:
Receive alarm and sensor activation notifications
Arm and disarm your alarm remotely
Check whether your alarm is armed
Receive arming reminders
Monitor doors and other connected sensors
View compatible connected cameras
Manage your security through one easy-to-use app
Self-monitoring is a simple option for customers who want to stay connected to their home without professional monitoring.
Already Have an Alarm System?
You may not need to replace your existing alarm system to add monitoring.
Watchdog Alarms can assess many existing alarm systems and determine whether they can be connected to a modern monitoring service or upgraded with compatible communications equipment.
Before replacing an existing alarm, talk to us. We can inspect what you already have and recommend the most practical option.
