Before you hire: 6-point checklist
- PSIRA registration: security service providers must be registered with PSIRA by law — ask for the number and verify it.
- Response & monitoring: for armed response, confirm average response time in your suburb and that a 24-hour control room monitors the signal.
- Electric fence CoC: an electric-fence installer must issue a Certificate of Compliance — it's legally required and you'll need it to sell.
- Contract terms: check lock-in period, monthly vs fixed-term, and the cancellation notice before you sign.
- Written on-site quote: insist on a written quote after a site visit, not a phone estimate — scope and price should match like for like.
- Proof of past work: ask for references, recent installs and reviews you can check.

Frequently asked questions
How much does armed response cost in Newcastle?
Armed response monitoring in Newcastle typically costs R400 to R900 per month in 2026, usually bundled with alarm monitoring. Response times and the number of vehicles patrolling your suburb matter as much as price, so ask providers for their average response time in your area before you sign.
Is a PSIRA number required for security installers in Newcastle?
Yes. Any company providing a security service in South Africa — installation, monitoring or armed response — must be registered with the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority (PSIRA). Ask any installer in Newcastle for their PSIRA registration number and verify it before hiring.
Do I need an electric fence CoC in Newcastle?
Yes. If you install or alter an electric fence, or sell a property that has one, you legally need an Electric Fence Certificate of Compliance (CoC) issued by a registered electric fence system installer. Confirm the CoC is included in your quote in writing before work begins.
CCTV, alarm or armed response — what should I get first in Newcastle?
They do different jobs. An alarm detects and deters, CCTV records and deters, and armed response sends a trained officer when a sensor triggers. Most secure homes in Newcastle layer all three: a monitored alarm linked to armed response, with CCTV on entry points. Start with a monitored alarm plus armed response, then add cameras.
