An alarm system that deters burglars
A well-placed alarm discourages burglars and alerts you immediately if something does happen. We design the system around your home or business and make it easy to use.
Why an alarm system?
Most burglars look for an easy target. A visible outdoor siren and an alarm that goes off straight away make most of them turn back. If something does happen, you know within seconds via your smartphone.
An alarm system is more than a siren. It's about the right detectors in the right places, controls that everyone in the house understands and a system that doesn't wake you up for nothing. That's where we make the difference.
What we install
- Alarm control panel
- The heart of the system. It processes all signals, protects itself against tampering and sends notifications to your smartphone.
- Motion detectors
- For the rooms an intruder has to pass through. There are pet-friendly versions that don't trigger for animals up to a certain weight.
- Door and window contacts
- These detect a door or window being opened, so the alarm goes off before anyone is inside.
- Indoor and outdoor siren
- The outdoor siren with strobe light deters intruders and alerts the neighbours. The indoor siren makes staying inside unbearable for a burglar.
- Controls
- Use a keypad, a badge or the app. You can also set zones, so the ground floor is armed at night while you move around freely upstairs.
- Extensions
- Smoke alarms, water detection and cameras can usually be linked to the same system.
Wired or wireless?
Both have their place. For new builds and major renovations we often choose wired. In a finished home, wireless is easier to install.
| Wired or wireless? | Wired | Wireless |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Cables to every device | No cables needed |
| Ideal for | New builds and renovations | Existing and finished homes |
| Maintenance | No batteries to replace | Batteries every few years |
| Extending | Needs extra cabling | Easy to add |
Good to know
- In Belgium, you must register an alarm system with the police via Police-on-web. If it is not connected to a monitoring centre, you do this yourself within ten days of putting it into use.
- An outdoor siren must have a strobe light. When the alarm goes off, it may sound for a maximum of three minutes.
- Have your alarm system serviced regularly. That keeps batteries, detectors and connections reliable. We're happy to do that for you.

Frequently asked questions
Can my dog move around while the alarm is on?
Yes, with detectors designed for pets up to a certain weight, or by putting the room where your pet stays in a separate zone.
Can I control the alarm with my smartphone?
Yes. You can arm and disarm the alarm, check its status and receive notifications, wherever you are.
What happens if there is a power cut?
The control panel and the sirens have a backup battery, so the system keeps working during a power cut.
Can the system be connected to a monitoring centre?
Yes. A licensed monitoring centre then follows up the alerts and notifies you or the relevant services. We'll discuss with you whether that makes sense for your situation.
Can I add cameras later?
Yes. We plan for extensions during installation, such as cameras that show you what is happening when the alarm goes off.
