Security by design is first of all a people business.

Hi. My name is Ross Hunt. This is my business. Welcome to my website.

I have been installing and fixing alarms and CCTV for more than 16 years. Over that time I have been giving advice, talking about monitoring and answering questions about alarms with thousands of people. Here is what I think about my alarm business and more importantly, YOUR ALARM, YOUR CCTV, and YOUR SECURITY.

Sure, there is a need for the skill to install and fix alarms and security cameras.

Yes, we have great products and services.

And I am confident we can match or better the price of other installation companies and monitoring service providers.

But above all else Security By Design is about YOU, and how to keep you safe.

For this to be so in the real world two things must happen. The customer must be able to trust the business. The business must be able to supply, install, service in a timely fashion and with care and respect for the customer’s needs and values.

It sounds like a very big cliché. But maybe that’s what works.

  • Do you have a security supplier who is distant, unreliable, or discourteous? Does he take too long, charge too much or just won’t talk to you? Then you may need Security By Design.
  • Have you got a Paradox, Micron, Arrowhead, Bosch, DSC, DS, Crow or DAS alarm? We can service it.
  • Do you live in Hamilton, Tauranga, Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Otorohanga, Putaruru, Tokoroa, Matamata, Te Aroha, Paeroa, Huntly or Ngaruawahia? We can help you.
  • Do you need a new alarm? I recommend the Bosch range of products. There are options for hard-wired and wireless. Just ask.
  • Are your pets setting off your alarm? Or are you reluctant to get an alarm because of the cats and dogs? We have a solution for you.
