Before You Request Quotes in Plumstead
- Family homes. Most homes use stay mode at night, with outside areas, the garage and living areas armed and bedrooms off. Tell installers about pets that stay inside.
- Complexes. Units usually need indoor detection and stay mode rather than outdoor beams. Confirm body corporate rules and any existing complex security first.
- Response coverage. Not every company covers every street. Ask each one to confirm your address and how many vehicles patrol nearby.
- Power cuts. Ask how long the panel, communicator and outdoor beams run on the backup battery, and how the system reports a power failure to you or the control room.
- Registration. Ask installers and response companies for their PSIRA registration.
