Alarm Repairs Perth

A security system is only useful when it works when you need it.

Alarm systems can develop faults as they age, batteries eventually need replacing, sensors can become unreliable and changes to telecommunications or internet services can affect how older systems communicate.

Our technicians can inspect your existing security system, identify the cause of the problem and explain your options clearly.

Depending on the condition of your system, repairing or upgrading existing equipment may be more practical than replacing the entire alarm.

We can help with:

  • Alarm system faults

  • Keypad faults and warning messages

  • Alarm systems that won't arm or disarm

  • False alarms

  • Faulty motion detectors

  • Door and window sensor problems

  • Low or failed backup batteries

  • Siren faults

  • Communication and monitoring faults

  • Alarm systems no longer reporting correctly

  • Damaged or ageing alarm equipment

  • Adding or replacing sensors

  • Alarm system programming changes

  • User code changes

  • Alarm monitoring connections

  • Smart alarm upgrades

FAQ’S

  • Yes. We can assess existing alarm systems, including systems originally installed by another security company.

    Whether a particular system can be repaired will depend on its age, condition, configuration and the availability of compatible replacement parts.

    We'll inspect what you have and explain your options.escription

  • A beeping keypad or trouble warning can indicate a number of conditions, including a low backup battery, communications problem, power issue or equipment fault.

    The exact cause depends on the alarm system and the fault being reported.

    If you're unsure what the warning means, contact Watchdog Alarms and we can help determine the next step.

  • It depends on the condition and capability of the existing system.

    If the main alarm equipment is still serviceable, repairing or upgrading it may be the most practical option.

    If equipment is obsolete, unreliable or no longer supported, replacement may provide better long-term value.

    Our technicians will assess your existing alarm before making a recommendation.

  • In many cases, yes.

    Compatible existing alarm systems may be able to be connected to modern monitoring or communications equipment without replacing the complete security system.

    We'll need to assess the alarm model, configuration and condition before confirming the available options.

  • Some existing systems can be upgraded with compatible communications equipment or smart security technology that enables smartphone notifications and remote functionality.

    Whether this can be done depends on your existing alarm system.

    We can inspect your equipment and explain the available upgrade options.

  • he appropriate servicing interval depends on the type of system, the environment in which it operates and how critical the security system is to the property.

    If your alarm is showing a fault, experiencing false alarms or has not been professionally checked for a long period, arranging an inspection is sensible.

    Commercial sites may also benefit from a planned maintenance schedule.

  • Yes.

    We can inspect and replace alarm backup batteries and check that the panel is charging and operating correctly.

    A low-battery warning can also occasionally be related to another system problem, so proper diagnosis is preferable to simply replacing components without checking the system.

  • Yes.

    False alarms can result from detectors, contacts, batteries, equipment faults, environmental conditions, programming or other issues.

    We'll investigate the cause rather than simply disabling the affected part of your security system.

Already Have an Alarm System?

You May Not Need to Replace It

If you have moved into a property with an existing alarm or have an older security system that is no longer being maintained, don't assume you need to start again.

Watchdog Alarms can assess many existing alarm systems and determine whether they can be:

  • Repaired

  • Reprogrammed

  • Expanded

  • Connected to monitoring

  • Upgraded with newer communications technology

  • Integrated with compatible smart security services

  • Partially upgraded while retaining usable existing equipment

We'll assess what you already have before recommending replacement.

If repairing your existing equipment makes sense, we'll tell you.

If the system has reached the point where repair is no longer practical, we'll explain why and discuss suitable replacement options.

ASK US ABOUT YOUR EXISTING ALARM

Alarm Battery Replacement

One of the most common causes of alarm trouble warnings is an ageing backup battery.

The battery inside an alarm system is designed to keep the system operating for a period if mains power is interrupted.

As batteries age, their capacity reduces and the alarm panel may begin displaying a battery or system trouble warning.

We can test your alarm battery, replace it where required and check that the system is charging and operating correctly.

If your keypad has started beeping or displaying a trouble condition, contact us and we'll help determine what's causing it.

Upgrade Your Existing Alarm

Give an Older Alarm Modern Features

An older alarm doesn't necessarily mean you need an entirely new security system.

Depending on your existing equipment, there may be options to upgrade parts of the system or add modern communications and monitoring technology.

Possible upgrades can include:

  • Smartphone alarm notifications

  • Remote arming and disarming

  • Cellular alarm communications

  • Professional 24/7 monitoring

  • Additional motion detectors

  • Door and window sensors

  • Smoke and other compatible detection devices

  • New alarm control equipment

  • Compatible smart security features

We'll assess your existing equipment and explain which options are practical before recommending an upgrade.

Alarm Servicing & Preventative Maintenance

Don't Wait Until Your Alarm Stops Working

Like any electronic system, security equipment benefits from periodic inspection and maintenance.

An alarm may appear to be working normally while developing issues with its backup battery, sensors, communications equipment or other components.

Professional servicing can help identify problems before they become security failures.

An alarm service may include:

  • Checking the alarm control panel

  • Testing detectors and sensors

  • Checking door and window contacts

  • Testing internal and external sirens

  • Checking the backup battery

  • Reviewing system faults

  • Testing communications

  • Checking monitoring signals where applicable

  • Reviewing user codes and system programming

  • Identifying damaged or ageing equipment

  • Recommendations for repairs or upgrades

For businesses, regular servicing can also help ensure security systems continue to suit changes to the premises, staffing and operating requirements.

An Alarm That Constantly False-Alarms Isn't Doing Its Job

Frequent false alarms are frustrating and can cause people to stop using their security system altogether.

False alarms can have a number of causes, including:

  • Ageing detectors

  • Incorrect sensor placement

  • Faulty door contacts

  • Environmental conditions

  • Pet movement

  • Equipment faults

  • Battery problems

  • Incorrect programming

Rather than simply disabling the affected sensor, our technicians can investigate the cause and recommend an appropriate solution.

If pets are contributing to the problem, we can also discuss pet-friendly alarm detection designed for homes with animals.
