Are Home Security Systems Worth It?

Our senior crew is what makes the difference on a are install. Licensed electricians and data-cabling technicians work in our own vans, never sub-contracted out, which is why every job carries a full 10-year workmanship warranty.

We treat Are as an engineered install, not a retail box shift - proper Cat6 or Cat6A cabling, weatherproof enclosures where hardware sits outside, tidy switchboard labelling, and a documented as-built handover pack you can hand to the next electrician.

Pricing for Are is transparent and honest. We publish typical ranges, walk you through hardware options in plain English, and never bolt on monthly cloud subscriptions or vendor lock-ins after the fact.

Because we live and work in Perth, response times on are enquiries are fast: most site visits happen within the same week and post-install adjustments are handled by the same crew who did the original work.

Are isn't a commodity - camera angles that respect neighbour privacy, lock strikes that sit flush, touchscreens at the right height, sub-mains that don't nuisance-trip. That craft is what separates a good install from an average one.

Choosing SmartSpace for Are means dealing with the same two founders - Leo and James, from first call through to handover. No account managers, no offshore call centres, no scripted upsells.

Every are project starts with a proper on-site consultation. We measure, mark cable runs, photograph switchboards and talk through how the household actually uses the space, so the are quote we hand you is fixed in writing before a tool is lifted.

Documentation matters. Every install ships with an as-built pack: cable schedule, device inventory with serial numbers, network map, credentials in a sealed envelope, and warranty paperwork. If ownership of the house ever changes, everything the next owner or their electrician needs is already in one folder.

We're picky about the brands we specify. Every product on our shelf has been used in the field long enough for us to know its real failure modes, its firmware quirks, and its long-term serviceability. If a cheaper option is honestly the better fit for your brief, we'll say so and quote it.

Aftercare is where most installers fall down and where we've built our reputation. Direct-line phone support from the crew who did the work, remote diagnostics on supported systems, and a fast-lane callout schedule for existing clients. The relationship doesn't end at handover.

Quoting is done on site, not over the phone. We look at the switchboard, the ceiling space, the wall construction and the existing cabling before we put a number on paper, because that's the only way a fixed price stays fixed. If we find something during the works that genuinely changes the scope, you hear about it the same day, in writing, before we proceed.

Our systems are built to be handed over, not held hostage. You own the licences, you hold the admin credentials, and nothing we install depends on a portal only we can log into. Plenty of homeowners come to us after being locked out of their own gear by a previous installer, and we won't put anyone in that position.

Timelines are set by the trade sequence, not by wishful thinking. On new builds and renovations we work back from lock-up and plaster dates so cabling lands before the walls close, and we coordinate directly with your builder, sparky and cabinet maker rather than leaving you to relay messages.
