Alarmify is a professionally installed, locally supported security solution for South Australian homes and small businesses — not DIY. Simply buy online and we'll take care of the rest: installation, configuration, and an easy-to-use smartphone app for effortless control. You can also add A1-Grade 24/7 professional monitoring.
It's designed for reliability with battery backup and a dedicated 4G cellular connection, and backed by a local Adelaide-based team for ongoing support.
Choose a package (Essential, Perimeter, or Verified), add extra sensors if needed, and complete checkout (deposit + service sign-up). Our team will confirm your details, perform any required checks, and book your installation.
We cover Metro and Outer-Metro Adelaide within a 50 km radius of the Adelaide CBD — from Gawler in the north to McLaren Vale in the south. If you're outside these areas, a travel surcharge may apply. Contact us for details.
Lead time is typically 10 business days from order confirmation. You can select an 8–10am or 12–2pm arrival window.
Yes — renters can sign up. Our wireless system is ideal for rentals and can be relocated when you move.
Yes. We use wireless, low-impact mounting and place devices to protect the property without damaging finishes. Your technician will confirm locations onsite.
Absolutely — call or email us and we'll help you choose confidently.
You can cancel your order up to 48 hours before installation and we will refund your full deposit.
After installation, you're covered by our 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. If you decide the system isn't right for you within the first 30 days, you can return it for a refund (conditions apply). You can also terminate at any time.
See the Returns, Refund & Warranty Policy for full details.
Yes. If you're not satisfied within 30 days of installation, you can return the system for a refund. A handling fee applies, and all equipment must be returned in good condition and within the required timeframe. Full details are in our Returns, Refund & Warranty Policy.
All packages include a control panel (with 4G LTE, optional Wi-Fi back-up, inbuilt siren, battery backup), stickers, and a mix of motion and/or door/window sensors depending on your choice (Essential / Perimeter / Verified). See more on our packages page and the Critical Information Summary (CIS).
Start with Essential (protection while you're away), Perimeter (adds door sensors for night-time protection), or Verified (image sensors for alarm verification). See our selection guide or call us for a recommendation.
Motion Sensors: Place in entryways, hallways, main living areas, and the master bedroom. Aim for overlapping coverage so an intruder triggers multiple sensors — this reduces false alarms.
Door/Window Sensors: Install on all main access points: front, back, and side doors; ground-floor windows; garage or shed doors; and high-value areas such as a home office. Your technician will fine-tune placement during installation.
For a typical single-storey 3-bedroom home, 2–3 motion sensors provide good basic coverage. Add door/window sensors for perimeter protection, especially for Stay Mode. Visit our buying tool or ask us for guidance.
Yes — our motion sensors are pet-friendly for animals up to approximately 24 kg, provided they are mounted at the correct height. Pet immunity works best when only one pet is in the room at a time.
To minimise false triggers:
If you have large or multiple pets, consider avoiding motion sensors in rooms they access, and using door/window sensors with perimeter arming instead.
Yes — you can extend your system by adding sensors at any time. We'll install and configure them for you, and they'll appear in your app immediately.
The touchscreen control panel — which includes the integrated keypad — is typically desk-mounted near a main entry point. It connects to an existing power outlet using a compact power supply. During installation we select a location that provides strong 4G signal and reliable wireless communication with all sensors.
The panel comes with a dedicated desk-mount stand, giving it a clean, modern appearance. It also provides flexibility — you can easily reposition it, or take it with you if you move. All it requires is access to a standard power outlet.
Yes — we can wall-mount the touchscreen panel upon request. Wall mounting is more complex and incurs an additional charge quoted case-by-case on the day of installation, as the power cable must be run through the wall to a suitable outlet. A licensed electrician may be required if no accessible outlet exists nearby.
An Image Motion Sensor is a motion detector with a built-in still camera. When an alarm triggers, it captures still images (not video) and sends them to your phone for rapid verification or false-alarm cancellation.
Yes — the touchscreen panel includes an inbuilt indoor siren. You can also add a wireless outdoor siren (107 dB) with strobe light, which makes the alarm clearly noticeable to neighbours and passers-by, increasing the chance of a quick response.
While we can't integrate your existing smoke detectors, we do offer wireless smoke detectors that alert you (and the control room, if connected) during an alarm event.
Important: These wireless smoke detectors complement, not replace, the legally required 240V hard-wired smoke alarms in homes. You must keep your existing compliant smoke alarms in place.
Yes — your control panel supports Z-Wave automation for compatible devices managed in the Alarm.com app.
Yes — absolutely. Alarmify uses a dedicated 4G mobile/cellular connection with battery backup, so it keeps working even during internet or power outages. As long as your area has at least two bars of 4G signal on Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone, your system will stay connected.
Alarmify focuses on wireless, professionally installed systems. If you need a hardwired or tailored solution, Blu Sky Security can help with a custom design.

Yes. An adult (18+) must be present. We'll walk you through placement choices and provide training on the app and system before we leave.
Allow up to 2 hours, depending on property size and add-ons.
Sensors are usually mounted using screws for a secure, long-lasting installation. However, we can use low-impact double-sided tape on most surfaces if you prefer a less invasive option.
Important: Tape mounting is less durable and more likely to fail over time. Let your technician know in advance if you prefer this option.
To ensure a smooth installation, please:
Alarmify is professionally installed. We handle setup, configuration, and training to ensure reliability and warranty coverage.
You can reschedule up to 1 business day prior — just contact us and we'll rebook.
The app gives you full control of your Alarmify system from anywhere. You can arm/disarm remotely, manage user codes, and receive real-time alerts for alarms. You'll also get event notifications — like when kids arrive home or if your business opens/closes on time. If Image Sensors are added, you can view images for quick verification. It also supports smart automation.
Adding our professional alarm monitoring service connects your system to our A1-Grade Secure Alarm Monitoring Service 24/7. When an alarm triggers, the control room follows your response plan — notifying your emergency contacts, dispatching authorities, or cancelling a false alarm.
While self-monitoring via the app works well for most scenarios, professional monitoring ensures rapid emergency response even if you miss a notification or are travelling.
Not everyone needs it, so we keep it optional for flexibility. Many customers prefer self-monitoring via the app. That said, professional monitoring is highly recommended — it greatly increases protection with 24/7 control room response.
Yes — you can add professional 24/7 monitoring at any time. Just contact us and we can enable monitoring, set up your emergency contacts, and activate the service remotely.
If you remove it, we require a minimum of three months of active service before cancellation. If you later re-enable monitoring, a reactivation fee may apply.
Perimeter Stay Mode arms door and window sensors while leaving motion sensors off, so you can move freely inside when you're home or asleep. It's ideal for night-time or when you want security without restricting indoor movement.
Smart Arming automates arming and disarming based on your routine. For example, it can automatically arm at bedtime and disarm when you wake up — using schedules or activity patterns to keep your home secure while making daily use effortless.
If your system goes into alarm, several things happen instantly:
If you have Image Sensors, you may also receive verification photos to help you quickly understand what triggered the alarm.
You'll receive an alert immediately. If you've added professional monitoring, the control room can confirm and cancel the alarm (if authorised), helping avoid unnecessary emergency dispatch.
Yes — 24-hour battery backup and dedicated 4G keep the system online during both power and internet outages.
Yes — you can add multiple users with unique codes and permissions, and manage or disable these directly from the app or web portal.
When you sign up with professional monitoring, we'll ask you to complete an Alarm Response Form listing your emergency contacts. If you need to update your details later, simply contact us with your updated information.
