Arm, disarm and check system status from your phone using the Connect Alarm app. Receive push notifications for alarms, alerts and system events in real time.

DSC alarm system FAQs

What is the difference between DSC PowerSeries Neo and PowerSeries Pro?

The Neo range is designed for residential and light commercial use with up to 128 zones. The Pro range is built for larger commercial installations with up to 248 zones, 8 partitions and built-in Ethernet. Both support PowerG wireless devices.

Can I keep my existing wired sensors when upgrading to DSC?

Yes. DSC panels are hybrid systems that support both wired and wireless zones. We can connect your existing wired sensors to the new panel and add wireless devices wherever cabling is impractical.

How far does PowerG wireless reach?

PowerG wireless devices have an open-air range of up to 2 km. In a typical building environment, reliable range is around 200 to 300 metres, which is more than enough for most residential and commercial properties in Adelaide.

Can I control my DSC alarm from my phone?

Yes. With the Connect Alarm communicator and app, you can arm, disarm, check zone status and receive push notifications from anywhere. The app also supports multiple user accounts so everyone in the household can have their own access.

Is DSC compatible with Australian monitoring stations?

Absolutely. DSC panels use standard SIA protocols and are supported by all major monitoring stations in Australia. We can set up IP, cellular or dual-path reporting to your chosen monitoring provider.

How long does a DSC alarm installation take?

A typical residential DSC installation takes half a day to a full day, depending on the number of zones and whether wired or wireless devices are used. Larger commercial installs may take two to three days.

Can DSC integrate with my security cameras?

Yes. DSC panels can trigger camera recordings on alarm events and integrate with access control systems. We design combined security solutions that bring your alarm, cameras and access control together for a cohesive setup.

Do you provide ongoing support after installation?

Yes. We offer ongoing support including user code changes, zone additions, battery replacements and firmware updates. If you need changes to your system, we can reprogram zones or add new devices at any time.
