24 / 7 Back To Base Monitoring

Looking for reliable alarm monitoring in Brisbane? Protec Security Systems provides 24/7 back-to-base and self-monitored alarm solutions for homes and businesses across Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, and the Gold Coast — connecting you directly to an Australian monitoring centre or your smartphone. 24/7 Back to Base monitoring is a service that provides round-the-clock surveillance on your security system, which links to an Australian call centre bureau. The call centre will monitor your security system and act as soon as an incident occurs. It’s a convenient feature that provides the ultimate peace of mind that comes with knowing you are protected by people on call when you aren’t available.

Our call centre monitors your security system 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Monitoring alerts will communicate via a 4G mobile interface or your site's internet connection. The monitoring centre will be able to receive instant alarm activations from your security system, such as;

  • Intruder/Burglar Alarm,
  • Fire or Smoke Alarm,
  • Temperature Alarm,
  • Perimeter Activation,
  • Panic & Duress Alarms,

Once the control room receives the notification of alarm activation, they will contact you directly via phone to ensure everything is okay. If you cannot answer your phone, the call centre can dispatch a patrol car and call local authorities, such as the Police or other emergency services, on your behalf. All alarm acknowledgement options are entirely customisable to suit your needs. Our licensed technicians can guide you through all the options to ensure you only receive a service to suit your requirements.

*Additional charges may apply for fire brigade attendance.*

We have several plans and packages available to suit any budget. Most systems installed today are a no lock-in contract, which gives you the freedom to opt out or modify your plan at any given time. Our plans can be invoiced monthly, quarterly or even yearly.

Another benefit to having a back to base monitored alarm system is reducing your insurance premiums. Many insurers will provide a discount for having a monitored security system installed. Customers have reported premium reductions between 5-20% off the yearly premium.

Alarm monitoring questions

How monitored and self-monitored alarms differ, and what happens when one goes off.

What is back-to-base monitoring?
Your alarm reports to an Australian monitoring centre 24 hours a day. When it activates, the centre acts on the response plan you have set rather than relying on you seeing a notification and deciding what to do.
Do I have to have monitoring, or can I monitor it myself?
Both options are available. Self-monitoring sends alerts to your phone with no ongoing monitoring fee, and back-to-base gives you a monitoring centre acting on your behalf around the clock. We will walk you through the trade-off and the running cost of each.
What happens when the alarm activates?
With back-to-base, the monitoring centre receives the signal and follows the response instructions recorded on your account, which can include contacting you and your nominated people. Those instructions are yours to set and change.
Is there an ongoing cost?
Back-to-base monitoring carries an ongoing monitoring fee. Self-monitored systems do not. Get in touch and we will give you current pricing for your setup rather than a figure that may not apply to you.
Can you take over monitoring of an alarm I already have?
Often yes, depending on the age and type of the panel. Send us the details or we can take a look on site and tell you honestly whether it is worth connecting or replacing.
What areas do you service?
We cover Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast.
