At its heart, an electronic alarm system is your property's personal lookout. It uses smart sensors and a central control panel to spot anything unusual—like an intruder, a fire, or another emergency—and lets you know instantly. A professionally installed system brings all these pieces together to give you reliable protection. Key parts include:

The challenge isn't finding an alarm system—it's finding the right one. With countless options and confusing technical terms, many business and home owners feel overwhelmed and settle for generic solutions that don't quite fit.
Every property is different. A retail store needs different protection than a warehouse. A freestanding home has different requirements to an appartment. Cookie-cutter packages often leave security gaps or include expensive features you'll never use.
I'm Dave Symons, and for over 16 years, I've designed and rolled out hundreds of electronic alarms and installations across Queensland. At DASH Symons Group, we cut through the noise by understanding your property, risks, budget and how you run your business to build a security system that works seamlessly for you.
When it comes to protecting your home or business, security isn't just an option; it's a priority. Yet, we often see people fall into the trap of 'one-size-fits-all' security solutions. While these might seem convenient or cost-effective at first, they often miss the mark, leaving you with serious security gaps.
Generic and DIY alarm systems often fail because they don't account for your property's unique layout, specific risks, or how you run your home or business. This leads to several problems:
A DIY approach can't match the precision and reliability of a professional installation. We cut through these complexities with a custom approach. For more information, explore our consulting services: More info about our consulting services.

While a DIY alarm system might seem cheaper, professional installation by a licenced technician is a necessity for reliable, long-term security. Here’s why:
Don't compromise on your safety. Choose a fully licenced installer with the expertise to ensure your system is installed right the first time.
Here's the thing about security systems: they should make your life easier, not more complicated. At DASH Symons Group, we don't just install alarms and walk away. We provide electronic alarms and installations that actually work with how you live and run your business.
After 16 years in this industry, I've learned that the best security system is the one you barely think about—until you need it. That's why we focus on building smart, integrated solutions that fit seamlessly into your daily routine.
Today's electronic alarms and installations are more than just loud sirens. They are smart, integrated systems that act like a digital security guard for your property.
The biggest advantage is mobile app control. Forget if you armed the system? A quick tap on your phone lets you check the status and arm or disarm it from anywhere, giving you complete peace of mind.
Real-time alerts keep you informed with specific notifications like "Front door opened" or "Motion detected in warehouse," so you always know what's happening.
Smart integration is where it gets really clever. Your alarm system can connect with other devices. For example, a motion sensor can trigger lights and cameras, while a smoke detector can automatically open up doors for a safe exit.
We use reliable technologies with cellular backup, ensuring your system stays connected even during a power outage. It's about making your property genuinely smarter and safer.
Our alarm systems integrate seamlessly with our other services, including Access Control Systems, CCTV Systems, and Automation Systems, giving you complete control from a single app.
Every business has unique security challenges, which is why our electronic alarms and installations are always customised to how your business works.
For retail stores, we integrate CCTV with smart alarms to deter theft, providing clear footage and instant alerts.
Construction sites need tough, flexible security. We help protect equipment and materials by watching over the site boundaries with rugged cameras and portable solar options, giving project managers remote access and flexibility to move cameras as the project evolves.
In office buildings, our integrated access control and alarm systems manage who goes where and when, securing sensitive areas like server rooms while logging all activity.
For warehouses, we design systems that protect high-value stock across large spaces without getting in the way of your day-to-day work.
We also provide body corporate solutions for residential buildings, balancing easy access for residents with strong security for common areas.
Our goal is to protect what matters most while making your day run smoother. Your security system should work quietly and reliably in the background, giving you the confidence to focus on your day-to-day.
Security is about building a partnership you can count on. With over 16 years of experience, we at DASH Symons Group understand that every property is unique and deserves a security solution that fits. You won't get a cookie-cutter system from us. Instead, you'll partner with licenced and experienced professionals who take the time to understand your needs and design electronic alarms and installations that work seamlessly. Our goal is to give you peace of mind, not new headaches.
