Home security has changed
Today's risks are a mix of old-fashioned break-ins and things that happen entirely online. Most of the fixes are cheap or free.
Break-ins for car keys
Many Melbourne burglaries aim to steal car keys, often while people are home. Where you keep your keys matters more than ever.
Keyless car theft
Thieves can relay the signal from a keyless fob inside your house to unlock and start the car on your driveway.
Scams and hacked accounts
Fake bank, toll, delivery and ATO messages target every age group. A hacked camera account can show when you're away.

Questions
Do you sell alarms or cameras?
No. We're independent, so we recommend what suits your home and budget rather than a brand. Hardwired alarms, cabling and electrical work are referred to licensed local trades.
What area do you cover?
Glen Waverley (3150) first. We can also help in Wheelers Hill, Mount Waverley, Mulgrave, Vermont South and Burwood East on request.
Is my information private?
The online check runs in your browser and isn't sent anywhere. If you book, we only receive what you put in the form. We never share your details, and our report stays with you.
I'm renting. Can I still improve security?
Yes. Most digital fixes, sensor lights, wireless cameras, video doorbells, timers and key habits need no landlord approval. For locks and screen doors we can help you put a request to your landlord.
Can cameras record my neighbours?
Victorian surveillance law restricts recording private activities and conversations. Point cameras at your own property and avoid recording audio of others. We'll help you set them up the right way.
Can you help in a language other than English?
Tell us your preferred language in the booking form and we'll do our best to help or bring someone who can.
