Home security and alarm systems in Forest Hill

Forest Hill’s large detached homes, deep lots and mature trees call for security that’s thorough but discreet. Knightwatch has written about Forest Hill homes for years. We design, install and monitor systems built around how these properties are laid out.

Big homes, hidden entry points

Many Forest Hill houses sit back from the street behind hedges and old trees, with side entrances, rear terraces, French doors and detached garages or coach houses. Those are exactly the spots a passer-by can't see. We put contacts on every exterior door and accessible window, glass-break detection on large panes, and motion coverage on the routes someone would walk once inside.

Our think-like-a-burglar guide and night-time burglary guide walk through the weak points we see most.

When you travel

Homes here are often empty for weeks during winter trips and summers at the cottage. A monitored system with low-temperature and water sensors catches a failed furnace or a burst pipe, not just a break-in, and cameras let you check the driveway and back garden from your phone. Keyholder lists and guard dispatch mean someone attends even when you can't.

Upgrading an older system

Plenty of Forest Hill homes already have a hardwired alarm from a previous owner or another provider. If it's compatible, an alarm takeover keeps the panel, keypads and wiring, and we add wireless devices or a touchscreen where they make sense. See which Forest Hill alarm company should I use?

Frequently asked questions

Can sensors be installed without marking original trim or plaster?

Yes. Slim wireless contacts and detectors mount discreetly, so heritage trim and plaster stay untouched.

Can you monitor the house while we’re away for the winter?

Yes. Intrusion, smoke, low-temperature and flood sensors are all monitored 24/7, and we contact your keyholders if anything needs attention.
