What We Can Do
CCTV Systems & Security Cameras
While a security alarm will only provide you with a notification of an event, CCTV allows you to remotely view your property and to capture evidence through recorded video.
At Jim’s Antennas & Security our team will also help integrate your CCTV system with your alarm or access control system, making it easier and more efficient to monitor your property.
Alarm Systems
At Jim’s Antennas & Security we provide both wired and wireless alarm systems and several alarm monitoring options. While 24/7 back to base monitoring provides the highest level of protection, we also offer devices that utilise cloud-based IP/GPRS monitoring for those who prefer to self monitor.
As our team believes that the highest level of security should include both intrusion detection and CCTV we offer a number of packages that combine both of these technologies.
Intercoms
Jim’s Antennas & Security makes it easy and affordable to get rid of out-dated battery doorbells and install a professional-grade video intercom system. These units come hardwired to your home or business electrical circuit, so you’ll never have to worry about losing performance or compromising your security due to a run-down battery.
Most of our intercom systems will allow you to answer the door using a smartphone app or control access remotely. With the touch of a button you can operate locks to grant guests, trusted family, or even delivery drivers access or partial access to your home or business.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the basic components of an Alarm System?
- Control Panel: Brains of the entire security system, should be user friendly and can be installed hidden or in an easily accessible location.
- Key Pad: Use to arm and disarm your system, can be configured to arm only specific detection devices if you wish to remain at home (i.e. lower level PIR’s). Can be upgraded to a touch screen key pad for improved aesthetics and functionality.
- PIR Sensors (Passive infrared sensor): The most commonly used detection device, these use infra-red technology and are available in Pet-tolerant versions.
- Internal Screamer Siren: To startle the intruder and let him know that he has been detected. Due to their high volume, they make it very difficult for the intruder to stay in the home.
- External Siren and Blue Strobe: This will alert neighbours and passes-by that your alarm has been activated.
What additional options should you consider?
- Reed Switches: Another form of detection device can be installed on doors or windows to provide detection when these events occur.
- Wireless Key Fob: Allows to you activate and deactivate your alarm remotely.
- Other Forms of Event Detection: Glass break detectors, smoke alarm, flood detection, external PIR.
What is Wireless Technology?
Whilst a hard-wired system will always be our first choice, Jim’s Security also has a range of wireless security solutions which for homes with limited access to roof space. Wireless components work using RF technology to communicate signals to and from the system and customers can expect battery life of 3-5 years.
The added advantage of wireless technology means the system is portable and can be quickly uninstalled and moved to your new home.
What are some Monitoring options?
We offer systems that give the option of either 24 Hour Back-to-Base Monitoring or self-monitoring. Back to base monitoring requires PSTN (phone line) or GPRS (mobile) connectivity, whilst self-monitoring is generally setup through hard wired IP connectivity.
NBN & Monitoring
Most older alarms systems use PSTN (telephone line) for communications back to the monitoring centre, in most cases this method will no longer function once NBN is installed. To reinstate monitoring you will need to add either an IP or GPRS module to enable communications.
