Best security system installers in Stirling, Osborne Park and Balcatta (2026)
Table of Contents
Stirling, Osborne Park and Balcatta, with Innaloo, Scarborough, Nollamara and the rest of the City of Stirling: this page ranks the alarm and CCTV installers Google returns for that area. Every installer here gives a street on its Google listing, carries a Google rating of 4.3 or better, and trades under a name that appears on the WA Police register of licensed security organisations. Five cleared all of that. They are ranked below on Google rating and review volume, with the near misses named and the reason each is not ranked.
Want this position?
Osborne Park and Balcatta are full of security businesses, and most of the well-reviewed ones are off this list on Google category rather than quality. Google files them as security system suppliers, home automation companies or electricians, not installers. If you install, fixing your Google category and claiming your free listing costs nothing. A paid placement is labelled FEATURED and never changes the order below.
See placement optionsRapid Alarms
Rapid Alarms holds 4.9 from 150 Google reviews, Google lists it as a security system installation service, and its Google listing publishes a street address in Osborne Park. Weighted 4.7400, 0.0506 clear of #2.
The trading name appears on the WA Police list of licensed security organisations (dated 7 September 2026) with Security Agent licence 43446. That is the business licence that lets it advertise and supply installation work. It does not tell you which technician turns up or which installer class that person holds. Ask to see the installer’s own licence card.
Perth Metro Cabling Services
Perth Metro Cabling Services holds 5.0 from 61 Google reviews, Google lists it as a security system installation service, and its Google listing gives a street in Osborne Park (Pearson Way) but no street number. Weighted 4.6894, 0.0992 clear of #3.
The trading name appears on the WA Police list of licensed security organisations (dated 7 September 2026) with Security Agent licence 84941. That is the business licence that lets it advertise and supply installation work. It does not tell you which technician turns up or which installer class that person holds. Ask to see the installer’s own licence card.

Why these 5 and not the rest
An installer is ranked here only if it clears five tests at once: a Google rating of at least 4.3, more than two reviews, a street on its own Google listing, a Google category of security system installation service, and a trading name that appears on the WA Police register of licensed security organisations. About seventy Google results across five searches were screened and seventeen place pages opened. These 5 cleared every test, and none of them shares a licence number with another, so each is a separate business.
Two of them, Perth Metro Cabling Services and Lockworks, show a street on Google but no street number. That is enough to place them in the area; it is not a showroom address, so ring before you visit.
Not being ranked is not a finding that a business is unlicensed. Several of the close calls below are on the register too. They are off the list for category, rating, review count or address.
Close calls, named
Each of these came up in the same searches. None is ranked, for the reason given. None of it is a statement about the quality of their work or their licence.
- Intelligent Home (Walters Dr, Osborne Park) – 4.8 from 458 reviews: Google lists it as a home automation company, not a security installer.
- Clearview Security (Drake St, Osborne Park) – 4.7 from 95 reviews: Google lists it as a security system supplier.
- Protect West Security (Cressall Rd, Balcatta) – 4.8 from 74 reviews: Google lists it as a security system supplier.
- Advanced Vision Security (Rickman St, Balcatta) – 4.6 from 11 reviews: Google lists it as a security system supplier.
- CTH Electrical (Osborne Park) 5.0 from 177 and Kable Electrical Services (Hamersley) 5.0 from 170: Google lists both as electricians.
- Meterbox Lock (Scarborough) – 5.0 from 330 reviews: Google lists it as a security service.
- KLS Cabling Services (Osborne Park) – 5.0 from 2 reviews: under the three-review minimum.
- Sontec Integrated Systems (Osborne Park) – 3.0 from 4 reviews: under the 4.3 rating floor.
- Hallmark Security, Buzz Security, Armour Guard Security and Great White Security came up in the same searches and are on the WA Police register, but their Google listings give no street address, so they cannot be placed in this area.
What a WA security licence actually tells you
Security installation in Western Australia is licensed by WA Police under the Security and Related Activities (Control) Act 1996. The WA Police licence-types page, read for this page on 27 October 2026, splits licences into two kinds. Agent licences authorise a business to advertise and supply security services. Non-agent licences, including the Security Installer licence, authorise a person to do the work.
The same page says installers who are self-employed or subcontracting under their own ABN must hold their own Security Agent’s licence. That is why the register of security organisations is a fair test for this trade: a business that installs under its own name should be on it.
| Installer class | What WA Police says it covers | Typical home job |
|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | Safes, vaults and locks of a kind prescribed in Regulation 6 | Safes, high-security locks |
| Class 2 | Security alarms, closed circuit television for security purposes, and equipment and devices prescribed in Regulation 8 | Alarm panels, sensors, CCTV cameras and recorders |
| Class 3 | Security doors prescribed in Regulation 7 | Security screen doors |
| Class 4 | Installing locks of a kind referred to in Regulation 6 | Fitting locks |
For an alarm or a camera system, the class to ask about is Class 2. The licence-types page also says the Security Installer licence does not apply to security equipment in vehicles, vessels or aircraft, so a car alarm fitter is a different question.
Two honest limits on what this page checked. It matched each trading name to the WA Police organisations list, which shows the trading name, the licence holder and the licence number. That list is dated 7 September 2026, so a licence granted, cancelled or changed since then will not show. It did not check the individual installer licences of the people each business sends out. Ask for those yourself.
What to ask before booking
Who installs it, and what’s their installer licence number? The agent licence covers the business. The person in your roof space needs their own Security Installer licence for alarm and CCTV work. Ask for the number and the class.
Do I own the equipment and the codes? Some alarm and camera packages lock the panel or the recorder to one company. Ask whether you get the installer code and the admin password at handover, so you can change provider later without replacing hardware.
What does monitoring cost, and for how long am I locked in? Back-to-base monitoring is a separate monthly fee. Get the term, the price after any introductory period, and the exit cost in writing before you sign.
How does the alarm talk to the outside world? If the panel reports over a 4G module, your internet or a phone line, ask what happens when that link drops and whether you get told.
Where does the camera footage go? On a recorder in your house, to a cloud service, or both. Cloud storage usually comes with a subscription. Ask what it costs after the first year.
Red flags
- No licence number on the quote, the van or the website. Ask once. If the answer is vague, ring someone else.
- A long monitoring contract bundled into a “free” or cheap system. Work out the total over the term before you sign.
- Locked equipment. If you won’t get the installer code or the recorder password, you are renting, not buying.
- Cameras sold on megapixels alone. Ask what the picture looks like at night at the distance you care about, such as the driveway or the front door.
- Cash only, no invoice. No invoice means no paper trail if the system fails.
How this list was built
Google data. Ratings, review counts, streets and categories come from Google’s own place records for security installer searches across Osborne Park, Balcatta, Stirling, Scarborough, Innaloo and Nollamara, read on 27 October 2026. Every ranked installer’s place page was opened and its address, category and map position checked.
Weighted score, not raw stars. Each installer is scored with a Bayesian average that pulls a small sample toward 4.5, so 5.0 from 5 reviews does not outrank 4.9 from 150.
The WA Police register. Each trading name was matched on the WA Police list of licensed security organisations, read on 27 October 2026. Two known licence holders were looked up first as a control, to prove the list was being read correctly.
Nothing here was paid for. Placement on this list cannot be bought. Paid placements are labelled FEATURED and sit outside the ranking. North of here, see the best security system installers in Joondalup, Wanneroo and the northern suburbs.
Questions homeowners ask
How did you rank these installers?
By a weighted Google rating that balances score against the number of reviews, among installers in the Stirling, Osborne Park and Balcatta searches that give a street on Google, are listed by Google as security system installers, and appear on the WA Police register of licensed security organisations.
Are these rankings paid?
No. Paid placements are marked FEATURED and do not change the order.
Does an installer missing from this list mean they’re unlicensed?
No. Most businesses left off are off it for Google category, rating, review count or a missing address. Ask any installer for their licence number and check it yourself.
How do I check a security installer’s licence in WA?
WA Police publishes lists of current licence holders on wa.gov.au, including a list of security organisations and a list of security installers. Search the business name or the licence number the installer gives you.
Are you a security installer in the City of Stirling?
The businesses named above but not ranked are off this page for one reason each. Fixing your Google category and claiming your free listing are both free. Either can put you on the next update.
