Kelvin alarms: securing freehold and sectional title homes inside the booms
Living inside one of Kelvin's boomed-off areas provides controlled road access, but individual properties still require their own layer of security. A boom does not stop an intruder on foot from reaching the walls of houses along roads like South Road or complexes near the Sandspruit. For a freestanding house, the challenge is the garden perimeter; for a sectional title unit, it is often the ground floor access points like patio doors and windows.
Our approach in Kelvin adapts to this. For a freestanding house, we focus on securing the garden with outdoor beams to provide a warning long before anyone reaches the building itself. In sectional title properties, where the garden is smaller or shared, we prioritise securing the unit with door contacts and indoor detectors covering the ground floor, supported by strategically placed panic buttons.
Many Kelvin properties fall under a body corporate or homeowners' association. We often work with trustees to make sure that alarms in a scheme meet a consistent standard. This includes checking that each unit's alarm correctly signals an armed response provider, rather than just sounding a local siren that might be overlooked within the enclosure.
Everything we install and repair, and how a job runs from first call to handover, is on our alarm systems page.
Questions from Kelvin
I live in a boomed-off part of Kelvin. Do I still need my own alarm?
Yes. A boom controls vehicle traffic but does not secure your personal property. Your own alarm system is what protects your home's boundary and interior, and is what signals your specific armed response company.
Our complex has many different, older alarm systems. Can you help standardise them?
Yes. We can assess every unit in the complex and provide the body corporate with a single report and quote on what is needed to get all systems working reliably and communicating properly.
Every Kelvin property is different, so we look before we quote. Send us a photo or call, and we will arrange a visit and a written quote for your burglar alarm work.
