Why You Need a Burglar Alarm

A burglar alarm is your early-warning layer. While CCTV records what happened, an alarm reacts the moment someone tries to break in — sounding a loud siren, flashing a strobe, and alerting you (and your security company) by phone. In Kenya, a well-placed alarm is often what turns a break-in attempt into a scare-off.


The Parts of an Alarm System

  • Control panel — the brain that arms, disarms, and triggers the system.
  • PIR motion sensors — detect movement inside a room or along a perimeter.
  • Door & window contacts — trigger when an opening is forced.
  • Panic / SOS button — raise the alarm instantly in an emergency.
  • Siren & strobe — loud and visible deterrents.
  • GSM / Wi-Fi dialer — calls or messages you and your contacts when triggered.
  • Keypad / remote / app — to arm and disarm easily.

Wired vs Wireless vs GSM Alarms

  • Wired — most reliable for permanent installations in homes and offices.
  • Wireless — quick to install, no cabling, ideal for finished houses and rentals.
  • GSM / Wi-Fi smart alarms — call your phone and let you arm/disarm remotely from an app.

Alarm System Prices in Kenya — 2026

System / Component Price Range (KES)
Single sensor (PIR / door contact / panic button) 1,500 – 4,000
Basic wireless home alarm kit 9,000 – 20,000
Wireless GSM / Wi-Fi smart alarm kit 12,000 – 30,000
Full wired alarm system (multi-zone, installed) 30,000 – 80,000
Commercial / business alarm (multi-zone) 60,000 – 150,000+

Your final price depends on the number of sensors, the size of the property, and whether you add GSM dialing, monitoring, or integration with CCTV.


Features That Matter

  • Battery backup — keeps working through power cuts.
  • Pet-immune sensors — avoid false alarms from small animals.
  • Phone & app alerts — know the moment the alarm trips.
  • Tamper protection — triggers if someone cuts or opens a device.
  • Zones — arm only part of the house at night.

Best Results: Combine Alarm + CCTV

An alarm scares an intruder off; CCTV proves who it was. Together with good lighting and access control, they form a layered defence. We design alarm systems that work alongside your cameras so a triggered zone can point you straight to the right camera.
