Gate Automation & Security Systems Specialists
Christchurch, Canterbury & across the South Island
Adding home security without cutting into walls or ceilings
Every building layout is different, which is why we match the hardware to your property’s specific layout and wiring options rather than forcing a standard kit onto your site.
If you are mid-build or have accessible wall cavities, a hardwired alarm provides robust, permanent security. For existing structures, finished renovations, or sites where running cable isn't practical, high-security wireless systems like Ajax allow clean, fast installation without cutting into walls or running exposed conduit.
We also routinely build hybrid setups—combining your site's existing hardwired cabling with wireless extensions to cover new additions or outbuildings. To talk through your property, get in touch.

Wireless alarm systems for brick, tiled and older homes
Wireless technology brings complete detection to brick, tiled, and character homes without drilling walls or routing cables through ceilings.
By combining exterior boundary detection with interior motion sensors, your system triggers before an intruder steps inside, scaring off trespassers before any property damage occurs. For round-the-clock safety, integrated fire and smoke sensors sound local sirens the moment combustion is detected.
Complete control sits in your pocket via iOS and Android apps, giving you real-time push notifications that pinpoint the exact sensor activated. Your setup remains fully flexible over time, allowing seamless additions like CCTV, keypads, intercom systems or gate automation whenever you're ready.
Built using fully compliant New Zealand standard hardware, we repair, upgrade, and install across top industry brands like Ajax, Paradox and Inner Range.
CCTV that records on site instead of relying on cloud subscriptions
Most systems record to an on-site hard drive, avoiding ongoing cloud subscription costs. Cloud storage is available where it suits the application, but is usually reserved for higher-priority cameras.
Camera locations are planned around the property, covering entrances, driveways, gates and other important areas. Live and recorded footage can be viewed remotely from a smartphone or computer.
Advanced features such as number plate recognition are available where they're justified, although simpler technologies often achieve the same outcome more economically.
Monitoring, ongoing costs and aftercare
Over 99% of our installations are paid upfront with no ongoing subscription fees. If your system requires a cellular SIM for mobile connectivity, we explain all standard SIM requirements clearly before work begins.
You have total flexibility to self-manage through your smartphone or we'll connect you to professional 24/7 monitoring. Before finishing any job, we walk you through system operation, showing you exactly how to arm zones, handle activations, and manage mobile alerts.
We service, repair, and upgrade most major security and gate brands - no matter who installed them. New installations feature a 1-year on-site warranty, extendable up to 3 years with annual servicing.
Service work is usually quoted within a week. Pricing follows a site visit. Automated gates: gate servicing and repairs follow the same annual interval (which also keeps gate automation running reliably).
Yes. Wireless systems such as Ajax install into finished, occupied homes without lifting linings or opening ceilings, which is why they suit existing houses rather than only new builds.
No. A 24/7 station needs constant staffing and specialist insurance. You're referred to an established 3rd party monitoring company, with signalling paths and zone descriptions configured so their operators can see which area triggered.
No jobs carry a subscription with us. Where a cellular SIM or optional cloud storage applies, that cost is explained before you commit and paid to a 3rd party. On-site recording is a one-off cost. 24/7 monitoring of your alarm (if required) can also be set up through a 3rd party.
Where a wired panel still works, a hybrid setup extends it with wireless devices and detectors still within their working life stay in place. That usually keeps the cost below a full installation.
Ajax wireless systems are a preferred option for new work, and Andrew has completed Ajax training. Paradox and Inner Range panels are all serviced.
Analytics classify people, vehicles and animals, and detection zones are set around driveways, gates, doors and boundaries. That means alerts relate to genuine activity rather than passing pets or wildlife.
Work carries a full one-year on-site warranty. That can be extended by a further year at each annual service, to a maximum of three years in total. Manufacturer warranties vary by product.
It works well, with the camera reading the plate and the access control system deciding whether the vehicle is authorised. The cost is high enough that long-range RFID tags are often the better spend.
