Burglar alarm system installation in Kenya
A burglar (intruder) alarm detects a break-in the moment a door opens or someone moves inside, sounds a siren and alerts your phone. Qyvea supplies and installs alarm systems for homes, shops, offices and warehouses. In our store, alarm kits and control panels currently cost KES 8,500 to KES 20,570, with sensors and sirens from much less.
Alarm kits and control panels
The control panel (hub) is the brain of the alarm. Wireless kits like Hikvision AX Pro are quick to install with no cables through finished walls.

Motion sensors and door contacts
Door and window contacts protect the perimeter of the building; motion (PIR) sensors cover rooms and corridors. Pet-immune sensors ignore small animals.

Sirens and panic buttons
An outdoor siren scares intruders and alerts neighbours; panic buttons by the bed or the till trigger the alarm manually.

How we design an alarm system
- Zones: each door, window group or room is a zone, so you know exactly where the alarm went off.
- Part arming: arm the ground floor at night while you move freely upstairs.
- Phone alerts: the panel notifies you through the app, and a GSM module keeps alerts working without Wi-Fi.
- Link to CCTV and the electric fence: see an alarm, then check the cameras. See home alarm system prices.
Installation
Prices above are for the equipment only. If you want it installed, Qyvea does a free site survey in Nairobi and gives an itemised quote covering cabling, mounting, configuration and labour, so you know the full cost before any work starts.
