Security has become a paramount concern for many Australian renters, homeowners, and small business owners. More than 217,000 Australian homes experienced a break-in in 2023-2024, a 17 per cent increase from 2022-2023, while over 217,000 experienced thefts from a motor vehicle.

Safeguarding family and possessions are top priorities for householders, while small business owners must consider the security of their assets, inventory, and customer data. Implementing a reliable security system can deter potential intruders, provide peace of mind, and enhance overall safety for loved ones and employees.

Homeowners and business owners are increasingly opting for professional security system with easy-to-install option to protect against theft, thanks to their affordability, straightforward setup, and customizability compared to off-the-shelf retail systems.

Retail security systems are typically standalone solutions with basic functions and often lack the comprehensive support provided by professional monitoring services. In comparison to professional security systems, these systems usually do not offer the same level of customisation or integration with other smart devices, making them less adaptable to specific security needs.

Choosing an easy-to-install DIY system gives homeowners and business owners access to a team of qualified representatives who understand and cater to unique requirements without the high costs associated with traditional installations. The ability to manage a professional security system through mobile apps and integrate with other smart devices further enhances their appeal.

Dennison Hambling, managing director of ADT’s parent company, Intelligent Monitoring Group Limited, stated, “Investing in a professional easy-to-install security system offers numerous benefits for both homeowners and small business owners. Users can set up systems at their own pace according to their specific needs, which is ideal for those who prefer a hands-on approach to securing their property".

Taking it one step further with an around-the-clock monitoring service adds an essential layer of security and peace of mind to any security system by combining the ease of self-installation with expert oversight and rapid emergency response.

When an alarm is triggered, trained professionals can immediately assess the situation and contact emergency services if needed, providing a crucial layer of protection. This reliable network of experts offers continuous monitoring, ensuring that any suspicious activity is addressed promptly, whether users are at home, away, or managing a business. This comprehensive approach significantly reduces the risk of burglary or other security threats, giving users peace of mind.

These systems often feature advanced technology that enhances security, including mobile app control, integration with smart devices, and real-time alerts. This lets householders and business owners monitor their premises from anywhere and respond quickly to any security breaches.

Moreover, users can enjoy greater scalability compared to retail security systems. They can start with a basic setup and gradually add more components as needed, customising the system to fit their unique requirements and budget. Alerts, schedules, and sensitivity levels can be tailored to meet individual preferences, ensuring that the security system functions exactly as needed.

Dennison Hambling emphasised, “When selecting an easy-to-install security system with professional monitoring, it is essential to choose a provider with a strong reputation and proven experience in the industry. A company that offers reliable equipment, excellent customer service, and a robust monitoring network will ensure any home or business receives the best possible protection.

"The combination of easy installation and 24/7 monitoring is a smart choice for householders and small business owners alike. It offers a balanced solution that maximises both convenience and security, while allowing users enjoy flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and enhanced security features. Users can harness the benefits of modern security technology with the added assurance that comes from professional oversight. Most importantly, it provides peace of mind in knowing that any property is protected by experts around the clock.
