The Sound Store designs and installs custom home security systems for Auckland homes and commercial properties. We work with leading security brands including Ubiquiti, Dahua, and Arrowhead Alarm Products to create solutions that are genuinely effective, intelligently integrated, and backed by a 2-year installation warranty.

What's Included in a Home Security System?

  • CCTV & IP Camera Systems

    High-definition cameras covering entry points, driveways, perimeters and key areas. Remote viewing from your phone, anywhere in the world.

  • Smart Alarm Systems

    Professionally installed alarm systems with motion detection, door and window sensors, and remote arming and disarming from your smartphone.

  • Smart Locks & Access Control

    Keypad, fingerprint and app-controlled door locks. Know who comes and goes, and grant or revoke access remotely.

  • Video Doorbell & Intercom

    See and speak to visitors at your front door from anywhere. Integrated with your home's security and automation systems.

  • 24/7 Remote Monitoring

    Security systems connected to professional monitoring services for around-the-clock protection and emergency response.

  • Integration with Home Automation

    Security events can trigger lighting, audio alerts and notifications as part of a fully integrated smart home system.

Why Custom Installation Matters

Off-the-shelf security cameras and DIY alarm kits can provide basic coverage, but they come with significant limitations. Camera placement is critical: a poorly positioned camera may create the appearance of security without actually covering the angles that matter. Signal reliability, storage, and integration with the rest of your home are all compromised in DIY systems.

Our team conducts a site assessment before every installation, mapping camera positions to eliminate blind spots, ensuring signal integrity throughout your property, and designing a system that works as a coherent whole rather than a collection of disconnected devices. The result is a security system you can actually rely on.

Frequently Asked Questions - Security

How much does a home security system cost in Auckland?

A basic CCTV installation with 4 cameras and local recording starts from around $2,500 installed. A comprehensive system covering a large property with 8–12 cameras, alarm integration, smart locks and remote monitoring typically ranges from $8,000 to $25,000. We provide a detailed, itemised quote after a site assessment. There's no obligation.


Can you integrate security cameras with my existing smart home system?

Yes. If you already have a home automation platform, we can integrate security cameras, alarm sensors, and smart locks to work seamlessly alongside your lighting, audio, and climate systems. Security events, such as motion detection after hours, can automatically trigger lighting and send alerts to your phone.


Do your security systems work when the internet goes down?

Yes. We design systems with local storage (NVR/NAS) so your cameras continue to record even without an internet connection. Remote viewing requires connectivity, but your local recording is not dependent on it.

Do you install security systems in rental properties?

Yes. We work with landlords and property managers to install security systems that provide robust protection while meeting tenants' privacy requirements. Smart lock systems are particularly valuable for rental properties, eliminating the need for key management.
