1. Instant Security Systems
Address: 2 Hasp St, Seventeen Mile Rocks
Contact: (07) 3279 3279 | [email protected] | [email protected]
Hours: 24/7 alarm monitoring
Security threats don’t clock off at 5 PM, and neither does Instant Security Systems’ monitoring team. Its Brisbane-based, ASIAL Grade A1 certified monitoring centre keeps trained operators on duty 24/7 to handle residential and commercial alarm alerts.
When something triggers your alarm, operators assess the situation and follow your agreed response instructions. That means you’re not left scrambling to figure out who to call when trouble comes knocking.
Beyond monitoring, the company handles perimeter protection, access control, and 4G alarm connections that don’t need a fixed phone line.
We like how its compatible interactive systems even let its team update access codes or arm alarms remotely, saving you the hassle of arranging a technician visit.
However, there’s a catch if you’re bringing an alarm system from another provider. Remote programming benefits aren’t automatically available to transferred systems, so you’ll need to check compatibility and service eligibility first.

2. Security Queensland Pty Ltd
Address: Unit 22/37 Mortimer Road, Acacia Ridge
Contact: (07) 3054 8095 | [email protected] | [email protected]
Hours: Monday–Friday: 7 AM – 3:30 PM
Keeping unwanted visitors out shouldn’t mean getting tangled in technical jargon. Security Queensland makes things easier with alarm packages featuring Hikvision AX Pro, Risco LightSYS2, and Hills Reliance equipment.
For households with furry family members, its pet-friendly motion sensors help reduce false alarms from pets weighing up to 30 kg.
Meanwhile, compatible camera-linked detection systems add another layer of protection, so suspicious activity doesn’t go unnoticed.
The Hikvision AX Pro system also brings security to your fingertips through the Hik-Connect app.
We like how clients can manage compatible alarms remotely, receive alerts, and check cloud-stored event logs, while a two-year parts-and-labour warranty adds reassurance.
That said, there’s a small wrinkle in the company’s entry-level AX Pro package descriptions. Door and window sensor inclusions differ between listings, so it’s worth confirming exactly what’s in the box before committing.
Customer Reviews
“The service was excellent and exceeded expectations”
I had recently moved into a house that had a Hills system installed but with no mention of how it operated. I contacted Security Queensland, and right from the get-go, the service was excellent and exceeded expectations. When Jakob came out to install a couple of fobs and walk me through the system, I was very confident in how to use it. We spoke about other security needs (cameras), and the quote was delivered in a short time. I am looking forward to using Mitch and the team again. Great work.

3. KGB Locksmith & Security
Address: 16 Delph Street, Coopers Plains
Contact: 1300 542 732 | [email protected] | [email protected] | Emergency Locksmith: 1300 556 500
Hours: Monday–Friday: 8:30 AM – 5 PM; Saturday: 9 AM – noon (24/7 emergency locksmith)
Good locks and smart alarms make a cracking security team, and KGB Locksmith & Security brings both to the table. Its services cover Bosch Solution 6000 alarm installations, locksmithing, and safes for homes and businesses across Brisbane.
For hands-on control, compatible Bosch systems let you manage alarms and receive alerts through your smartphone without ongoing monitoring fees.
Prefer an extra set of eyes? KGB offers 24/7 commercial monitoring, with response options that can include camera checks and patrol dispatches.
Meanwhile, businesses with existing wireless alarms don’t necessarily need to start from scratch. KGB can assess their setups and recommend compatible upgrades.
The catch is, weekend errands need a little planning if you’re visiting the Coopers Plains showroom.
It also closes at noon on Saturdays and stays shut on Sundays, although emergency locksmith assistance remains available around the clock.

“Jesse came by today to install a home alarm system for me”
Jesse came by today to install a home alarm system for me. Everything went smoothly, and Jesse was a pleasure to interact with throughout. Earlier, the booking and administrative processes through Ella were also a breeze, and Paul’s knowledge while quoting a range of options was very helpful. Will definitely call on them again for any future security needs!

“Your privacy and security are their primary concern, and they do it well”
I have been dealing with KGB for 12 years now and recently needed them to do some work at my HQ confidentially and quickly. The work was completed quickly to a very high standard and at a reasonable charge. The alarm guy was prompt, professional and helpful and very discreet. I would not hesitate to recommend Brock and his team as your privacy and security is their primary concern, and they do it well.

4. Sec Tech Group Security Systems Brisbane
Address: Unit 33/17 Cairns Street, Loganholme
Contact: 1300 020 358 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday–Friday: 8 AM – 5 PM
Burglars can’t nick what they can’t see, and Sec Tech Group takes that idea seriously. Its PROTECT Fog Cannon systems release thick security fog within seconds, making it harder for intruders to find their way around.
For businesses needing more than a dramatic smoke show, the company installs Bosch Solution 6000 alarm systems. These can support up to 144 detection zones, giving growing shops, offices, and warehouses plenty of room to expand.
Meanwhile, compatible Bosch systems let you manage alarms remotely through the MyAlarm app. Sec Tech Group also offers obligation-free security appraisals, helping customers explore suitable protection without committing straight away.
Do note that MyAlarm’s SMS and voice notifications depend on your chosen plan, so some alerts may cost extra.
The office closes on weekends, too, which isn’t ideal if weekdays are already packed.
Customer Reviews
“They deliver the right product for the right scenario”
Sec Tech are very professional and a great company to work with. Management is very hands-on and customer-focused. They deliver the right product for the right scenario, and most importantly, they respond on time, which is critical for this industry. Chat to the guys about your requirements. You won’t be disappointed.
— Gerald McCormack | Google Review
“We have had the system installed for 3 years now with no issues”
Professional, knowledgeable and above all, great customer service. We have had the system installed for 3 years now with no issues. When I have any questions, the response time is excellent. If you need security systems, then this is the company to call.

5. Access Alarms Qld Pty Ltd
Address: Unit 2/789 Kingsford Smith Drive, Eagle Farm
Contact: 1300 049 969 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday–Friday: 8:30 AM – 5 PM; 24/7 alarm monitoring
Got an alarm system that needs a little TLC? Access Alarms Qld services, repairs, and upgrades existing setups, including those installed by other providers, so you won’t necessarily need to start from scratch.
For round-the-clock protection, the company offers SafeDial monitoring alongside alarm systems from trusted brands like Bosch, Hills, and Paradox.
We like that its monitoring centre sends daily reports to Access Alarms, helping technicians catch low batteries, bypassed zones, and power faults before they become bigger headaches.
Meanwhile, compatible systems offer smartphone controls through Pocket Secure, putting alarm management at your fingertips. New installations also come with thorough testing and hands-on training, so you’re not left scratching your head over the keypad.
However, SafeDial requires a separate AUD 295 installation fee, and the company’s quarterly monitoring rates differ.
Patrol dispatches may cost extra too, so it’s worth checking the full bill before signing up.
Customer Reviews
“He showed us what would work the best”
We contacted Access Alarms looking for a monitoring system … after speaking with one of the technical team, he listened a lot .. and in the end he showed us what would work the best. He wasn’t pushing us… he was paying attention to what would be best and would fit into our budget. This went very well, and when we move to our new house… we will be calling you!
— Stephen Harris | Google Review
“Fast and reliable”
Access Alarms installed wired (!) Alarms on two commercial units for us. Gary from Access Alarms did a great job, fast and reliable. I consider their pricing very reasonable, given the quality of their products and professional work.
