How much does a home alarm system cost in Dubai?

Home alarm systems start at AED 1,800 depending on home size and number of entry points, with the final price shaped by sensor count and system type more than anything else.

What the starting price actually depends on

The number of doors and windows needing sensors, whether motion detectors are included, and villa versus apartment layout all move the price from the starting point.

Sensor count is the single biggest cost driver

More entry points genuinely need more sensors, which is why a rough estimate without seeing the property is unreliable. We plan sensor count from a real walk-through, not a guess.

Monitored vs unmonitored affects ongoing cost, not just install price

A monitored system typically carries a recurring monitoring fee, which is a separate consideration from the installation itself. An unmonitored system relies on the mobile app alert directly, with no recurring service fee attached.

Integration with existing CCTV can affect price

If cameras are already installed, integrating the alarm with them can be more efficient than running two entirely separate systems, which is worth raising at quote stage.

What we do before quoting

We walk the property, plan sensor placement around real entry points, and give one clear price before installing, rather than quoting a flat number sight unseen.
