Commonly asked questions

How long do alarm systems normally last?

Action Security Logo

Most alarm systems are good for 10-15 years, then they start to show signs of age and eventually stop working. In most occasions, the wiring can remain in place, however we always test this for any wear and tear, or rodent damage.

What happens if I have a pet?

Action Security Logo

If you are considering getting a pet that will remain inside whilst the alarm system is set, you need special Pet Immune Movement Sensors. Passive Infrared Movement Sensors activate when heat and movement is detected. This can be from a heat pump, draught, or a pet (or rodent!).

How can I tell if my alarm system's battery needs replacing?

Action Security Logo

If your keypad is beeping or chirping at the same time each day, it's likely an indicator that the battery needs replacing. Action Security recommends a qualified technician should attend and replace the panel battery

What our clients say

5 stars

The app for our security system inexplicably locked us out several months after it was installed. Matthew spent a considerable amount of time carefully and patiently explaining how to reinstall the app until we identified the problem. Despite needing to repeat the process a number of times at no time did he express any frustration or impatience and stayed with it until everything was ok. This level of service was first class. It also mirrored the professionalism shown by Dianne in explaining possible options at the outset of the process.

The team at Action Security and Access Ltd did an amazing job of our Garage door! One thing led to another and our Garage door was closed onto our car so we had to get an immediate referral on the night and there was a swift response the next day! The team were excellent and we can't be happier with how things turned out :)

Fantastic company with a really good product. The technician educated me on all options and allowed me to make a choice without feeling pressured. Couldn't fault the entire process and the gentleman I was dealing, Paul I believe his name was a real professional. I would highly recommend
