Home alarm system tailored to your needs
For a home that stays protected, even when you're away.
Protect your home with an Astral Security alarm system
When it comes to protecting your family and your belongings, you deserve a reliable security system backed by proven technology.
Astral Security alarm systems protect your everyday spaces by securing as many points as you need, using a range of detectors: your front entrance, the outside of your home, interior rooms and more.
Our security professionals help you find the right level of protection for your space and your needs. You can start with a basic alarm system and add modules later, as your needs evolve.
What is an alarm system?
An alarm system detects intrusions, unauthorized openings, suspicious movement and certain risks such as fire or water damage. It can be installed in a house, condo, business or commercial building.
The most effective systems combine several types of sensors that alert you to an intrusion or hazard. Each sensor connects to a central control panel, either by wire or by radio (RF) signal. When a sensor is triggered, the panel sends an alarm signal and sets the right response in motion — notifying the monitoring station, the authorities or you.
Wired or wireless alarm system: which one to choose?
How well your system performs depends on the location, the zones you need to cover, the time of day and the features you choose to add.
Depending on your needs, a wired or wireless system can be a great fit for your property:
| Need | Often recommended option |
| Quick installation | Wireless system |
| Building under construction or renovation | Wired system |
| Flexible, scalable solution | Wireless system |
| Permanent, highly stable installation | Wired system |
| Home, condo or small business | Often wireless |
| Larger or more complex business or office | Often wired or hybrid |
Your alarm system can trigger a range of actions. For example, it can be set up to notify the monitoring station, police, fire department or first responders. Other setups contact you or a site manager first, to confirm whether the alert is real.
With Astral Security, you make an informed choice that fits your needs, the level of security you're after, your budget and the complexity of the installation.

The components of an alarm system
Door and window contacts
These contacts keep watch over the doors and windows around your perimeter. When a door opens, the system starts an entry delay, giving you enough time to reach the keypad and disarm the alarm. On windows, the alarm usually goes off right away.
Motion detectors to secure your living spaces
They cover the areas an intruder could move through without setting off the door and window contacts. Built with state-of-the-art digital and analog technology, our pet-resistant detectors greatly reduce false alarms. We set them up to suit your space: 360 degrees for large rooms, and 30 to 90 degrees for hallways and tighter areas.
Glass-break detectors
Glass-break detectors pick up an intrusion through a broken window or glass door. They can be set to trigger a silent alarm that alerts the authorities without the intruder knowing.
Keypads
The keypad lets you access and control your alarm system, from more than one location if needed. Easy to use, our keypads make day-to-day management simple. And with the refined design from our suppliers, they add an elegant touch to your space.
The benefits of an Astral Security alarm system
An alarm system offers a number of real advantages:
- Protection against intrusions: simply displaying your system's stickers can be enough to deter burglars.
- Protection against fire and gas: safeguard your loved ones and your belongings with carbon monoxide and propane detection.
- Insurance savings and added value: many insurers offer a discount for properties protected by an alarm system.
- A safer community: a security system adds to the peace of mind of your household and your neighbourhood.
- Peace of mind: even when you're away for a while, your home and family stay protected.
How to avoid false alarms?
To save yourself the stress and the fines, it helps to understand what usually sets off an accidental alarm.
Aside from human error, overdue maintenance or a faulty component, many false alarms come down to keypads that are simply too complicated to use.
That's exactly why we chose the keypads that come with your Astral Security system: they're simple to use, attractive and worry-free. With professionals that tailor every installation to your building, you're also far less likely to deal with false alarms.
