Before You Request Quotes in Hermanus
- Salt air. Outdoor detectors, beams and siren housings near the sea corrode faster. Ask for weather-rated equipment and regular cleaning.
- Holiday lets. Give guests a separate code or app user that you can remove after checkout, and make sure someone can respond while the home is empty.
- Area patrols. The Hermanus Special Rating Area runs patrols and has access to CCTV, but says personal security remains each homeowner's responsibility. Your own alarm and response contract still matter.
- Baboons. Overstrand Municipality advises residents to keep windows and doors closed and locked when baboons are nearby. Ask installers about contacts on opening windows and how outdoor detectors handle animals.
- Response coverage. Not every company covers every street. Ask each one to confirm your address and how many vehicles patrol nearby.
- Power cuts. Overstrand follows Eskom's load-shedding schedule. Ask how long the panel and communicator run on backup, and wait for power to settle before resetting faults.
- Registration. Ask installers and response companies for their PSIRA registration.
