Key Buying Considerations for Alarm Kits

• Coverage Area: Count all entry points and high-risk zones. For homes, standard kits cover 2-4 rooms, with expansion up to 8+ zones.
• Pet Adaptation: Consider PIRs designed to ignore small pets to reduce false alarms.
• Remote Notification: GSM diallers and mobile app modules are increasingly requested for South African users wanting mobile alerts.
• Power Backup: All kits supplied by Communica include battery backup for load-shedding resilience; double-check run-time if your property experiences extended outages.
• Compliance: Check for compatibility with monitoring services if you plan to connect to an armed response or remote station.

Specification Checklist

• Number and type of sensors included (e.g., 2x PIR, 2x contact)
• Range of each sensor (typically 8-12m for PIRs)
• Backup battery capacity (usually 12V, 7Ah or similar)
• Enclosure and mounting options
• Expandability (wired/wireless inputs, relay outputs)
