What is Back to Base Monitoring?
Back to base monitoring is a security service where your alarm system is connected to a 24/7 monitoring centre. When your alarm is triggered (by intrusion, smoke, fire, panic button, or a duress alert), the signal is sent immediately over a secure link to our Sydney-based control room. Trained operators verify the alarm within seconds and dispatch the right response, whether that is contacting you, sending a licensed patrol officer, or alerting NSW Police, fire, or ambulance.
Without back-to-base monitoring, an unmonitored alarm only sounds a siren and hopes a neighbour notices. With back-to-base alarm monitoring, professional operators watch your property 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This is why back-to-base monitoring is the standard for homes, businesses, warehouses and strata buildings across Sydney that take security seriously.

Integration with CCTV & Access Control
Our monitoring seamlessly integrates with your existing CCTV cameras, intercoms, and access control systems. This allows our operators to visually confirm incidents in real time, track entries and exits, and deliver faster, more informed responses, reducing false alarms and improving overall site security.
Works with Most Existing Alarm Systems
Whether you’re using Bosch, Hills, DSC, or any other common alarm brand, we can connect directly to your existing control panel without the need for new hardware. This makes upgrading to professional monitoring quick, affordable, and disruption-free for both homes and businesses across Sydney.
24/7 Real-Time Alerts
Our system keeps you informed through instant alerts via mobile, SMS, or email giving you direct visibility into alarm events, maintenance updates, or emergency notifications. You’ll know exactly what’s happening on your property, even when you’re out of town or outside mobile coverage.

Our Step-by-Step Back to Base Monitoring Setup Process
Site Inspection and Alarm Assessment
We begin with a detailed on-site inspection of your property to review your existing alarm equipment, wiring, and network connections. Our technicians identify vulnerabilities, verify communication paths, and recommend the ideal monitoring plan to suit your building layout and risk profile across Sydney’s varying environments.
System Connection to Our Monitoring Network
Your alarm is securely linked to our ASIAL-approved monitoring centre using either NBN or 4G cellular channels. We configure your control panel, integrate with any CCTV or access systems, and perform connection tests to ensure seamless data transmission between your site and our operators.
Testing and System Verification
Before activation, we simulate multiple alarm triggers like intrusion, duress, and tamper alerts to confirm instant signal transmission. This step ensures our team receives accurate event data in real time and that your response plan (contact hierarchy, guard dispatch, or police alert) functions flawlessly.
Activation and 24/7 Monitoring
Once verified, your alarm system goes live on our secure back-to-base network. Our Sydney-based operators begin continuous 24/7 supervision immediately, monitoring every signal and alerting you or emergency services the moment an event occurs, ensuring zero delay in critical situations.
Ongoing Maintenance and Support
Our team monitors system health daily, performs routine communication checks, and provides remote firmware updates. If you change internet providers or upgrade equipment, we adjust your setup promptly so your monitoring never skips a beat.

Very happy
I spent about a month looking for certified installers in the Sydney area, most offered system + install (but mine was BYO), some didn't even get back to me (which is likely a good thing!). I even asked my friends and colleagues - none had any recent dealings with professional installers - well I KNOW who I will recommend to them now!
Professional, trustworthy and attentive, Sydneywide Security made this experience stress-free! Thanks guys!
highly recommend
I had an excellent experience with Sydney Wide Security! They were always punctual and approached their work with the utmost professionalism. They got the job done quickly and efficiently, and I was truly impressed by their commitment to using only the best equipment and techniques. It’s clear they prioritize quality and customer satisfaction. I highly recommend their services for anyone in need of reliable security solutions!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Moe recently visited my property to conduct repairs and servicing on our home security, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. He was professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable.
The repair process was seamless, with no unnecessary disruptions and he had no issues coming out a second time to address my concerns.
We then tasked them with upgrading our Intercom and Access Control systems, a major investment not only in terms of funds but also resources as accessing all units over a 4 week period was never going to be an easy task.
Under Chris’s leadership his installation team of Moe and Chris 2.0 did a stellar job assisting in wrangling access to all the apartments despite the language barriers due to the large number of non English speaking residents in our complex; including juggling the changing access needs that tenants imposed.
The systems were installed professionally, any issues were promptly sorted out and the project ran 100% to budget and timelines. We had zero complaints from owners and residents about the workmanship or workers on site which was very pleasing.
Overall as chairman of the OC I was very pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Chris and his team to other apartment complexes for the installation and maintenance of intercom, access control and CCTV systems.
A single word of caution, and this is not directed to Chris or his team as it’s completely outside of their control or remit, these types of upgrades do require a significant time investment by the Owners Corporation, be mindful of this when budgeting and allow for additional schedule B costs from your strata manager.
Common Questions About
Back to Base Monitoring in Sydney
What does back to base alarm mean?
A back to base alarm is a security alarm system connected to a professional 24/7 monitoring centre (the “base”). When the alarm is triggered, the signal goes back to the monitoring base, where trained operators assess the situation and dispatch a response. This is why it is called “back to base” – the alarm reports back to a central base rather than just sounding a siren locally.
What is active back to base monitoring?
Active back to base monitoring means our operators actively verify every alarm signal in real time, rather than passively logging it. When an alarm is triggered, operators immediately assess the type of alert, check for camera verification if available, contact your key holders, and initiate the appropriate response. This is different from passive monitoring services that only record events.
Is your back to base monitoring genuinely 24 hours a day?
Yes. Our back to base monitoring centre operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, including public holidays and overnight. Every alarm signal is received and acted on immediately by trained Australian operators. There is no offshore call handling, no answering machine, and no delays.
What is a back to base security system and how is it different from a standard alarm?
A back to base security system is any alarm system (intrusion, fire, panic, or duress) connected to a 24/7 monitoring centre. The key difference from a standard unmonitored alarm is response: with back to base security, professional operators are watching your alarm around the clock and dispatch help within minutes. A standard alarm only sounds a siren and hopes a neighbour or passerby will act.
Do you offer back to base home security systems for Sydney residents?
Yes. Our back to base home security systems are one of our most popular services for Sydney homeowners. Plans start from $9 per week and connect your existing home alarm (Bosch, DSC, Hills Reliance, Ness and more) to our 24/7 monitoring centre. We include mobile app alerts, backup communications, and licensed Sydney patrol response for verified alarms.
Can any alarm system be connected to back to base monitoring?
Most alarm systems can be connected to back to base monitoring without needing a full replacement. During the free site assessment, we check your existing control panel, communication path (dialler, IP, or 4G), and system brand. Bosch, Hills Reliance, DSC, Ness, Paradox and most other common Australian alarm systems connect easily. If your system is too old to communicate reliably, we recommend a straightforward control panel upgrade rather than a full new install.
Do you provide commercial monitoring services?
Yes, we specialise in both residential and commercial business alarm systems, protecting offices, shops, and warehouses across Sydney.
