Comprehensive Home Security

Your home should be the safest place you know. Yet residential break-ins remain a persistent concern in Kenya — from opportunistic theft in suburban estates to targeted burglaries in high-value neighbourhoods. The most effective answer is not a single device but a layered security strategy that places multiple barriers between an intruder and your family. Lance Security designs comprehensive home security packages that combine perimeter protection, entry-point detection, interior monitoring, and instant communication into a single, integrated system managed from your smartphone.

The Layered Approach to Home Security

Professional security design follows the principle of defence in depth: multiple layers, each reinforcing the others, so that no single point of failure compromises your safety.

Layer 1 — Perimeter Protection

The first barrier should stop intruders before they reach your building. This layer includes:

• Electric fencing along boundary walls, providing a visible deterrent and an active shock barrier.
• Perimeter CCTV cameras (bullet or PTZ) covering gates, driveways, and blind spots along the fence line.
• Outdoor motion-activated lighting that eliminates dark hiding spots around your compound.
• Gate automation and intercom so you can verify visitors before opening, even when you are inside the house or away from home.

Layer 2 — Entry-Point Detection

If an intruder breaches the perimeter, the next layer detects any attempt to enter the building itself:

• Door and window magnetic contacts that trigger the alarm the instant a door or window is opened.
• Glass-break sensors for windows and sliding doors.
• Vibration sensors on reinforced doors and walls in high-risk areas.

Layer 3 — Interior Monitoring

The final layer catches anything that slips through:

• Indoor PIR motion detectors covering hallways, living areas, and staircases.
• Indoor CCTV cameras in common areas (with privacy zones to exclude bedrooms).
• Safe room sensors for families who have designated a secure room within the house.

Smart Home Integration

Modern home security goes beyond alarms and cameras. We integrate your security system with smart home features to give you centralised control and automation:

• Smart lighting — Lights turn on automatically when motion is detected at night, or follow schedules that simulate occupancy when you are away on holiday.
• Smart locks — Lock and unlock doors remotely, grant temporary access codes to house staff or visitors, and receive alerts when doors are unlocked.
• Voice assistant compatibility — Arm your alarm, check camera feeds, or lock the gate using Google Home or Amazon Alexa voice commands.
• Automation rules — Create scenarios such as "Goodnight" that arms the alarm, locks all doors, turns off exterior non-security lights, and activates perimeter cameras, all with a single tap.

CCTV + Alarm + Electric Fence Packages

We offer pre-configured home security packages that bundle the most requested components at a competitive price in KES. Each package is customisable — you can add or remove components based on your property layout and budget:

• Essential Package — 4-camera CCTV system, 8-zone alarm panel with door contacts and PIR sensors, outdoor siren. Ideal for apartments and small townhouses.
• Standard Package — 8-camera CCTV system, 16-zone hybrid alarm, electric fence for one boundary wall, gate intercom. Suited to mid-sized homes in estates.
• Premium Package — 16-camera CCTV system (IP, with NVR), addressable alarm panel, full-perimeter electric fence, biometric gate access, smart home integration, and 24/7 monitoring subscription. Designed for large standalone homes and villas.

Each package includes professional installation, full system configuration, remote-access setup on your phone, and user training for every household member.

Mobile Monitoring

Whether you are at work in Westlands, travelling upcountry, or on a business trip abroad, your home security system keeps you connected. Through a single app on your smartphone you can:

• View live camera feeds and play back recorded footage
• Arm or disarm the alarm remotely
• Receive instant push notifications when sensors trigger
• Open the gate for expected visitors
• Check the status of your electric fence zones

Panic Buttons

Every home security system we install includes panic buttons — both fixed (mounted at your bedside, kitchen, or front door) and portable (key-fob style). Pressing a panic button sends a silent duress signal to the monitoring centre and your designated emergency contacts, triggering an immediate response without alerting the intruder. Panic buttons are especially important for families with elderly members or live-in domestic staff.

Neighbourhood and Estate Security

For gated communities and residential estates, we design estate-wide systems that include shared perimeter CCTV, communal electric fencing, boom gate access at the main entrance, and a networked alarm platform that connects every home to a central estate security office. This collective approach significantly reduces the per-household cost while creating a level of security that individual homes cannot achieve alone.

Every home is different, and the right security system starts with understanding yours. Request a free home security assessment — our team will visit your property, evaluate the risks, and propose an integrated solution that protects your family without breaking your budget.
