Protecting your home is about more than cameras and alarms—it’s about understanding your risks, daily routines, property layout, and choosing a system that’s fit-for-purpose. That’s where an independent home security consultant can make all the difference.
At Smartsec Security Solutions, we help homeowners across Perth and WA design smarter home security strategies. As independent consultants, we don’t sell or install equipment—our role is to assess your needs and give you honest, tailored recommendations based on what will work best for your home and lifestyle.
Whether you’re building, upgrading, or simply reassessing your current setup, we can help you make confident decisions without sales pressure.
What Do Home Security Consultants Do?
A home security consultant works with you to evaluate your property’s risks and advise on the best mix of physical, electronic, and procedural security measures. Unlike installers or system vendors, our advice is completely independent—we’re not tied to any products or brands.
We assess:
- Entry points and perimeter access
- Sightlines and camera placement
- Lighting and visibility at night
- Garage, gate, and fence security
- Behavioural routines (e.g. when you’re home or away)
- Existing technology (e.g. alarms, smart locks, intercoms)
- Vulnerabilities specific to your property layout or location
We then provide clear, practical recommendations that help you secure your home properly—without overspending or relying on gimmicks.
Why Work With an Independent Consultant?
Many people go straight to a security company that installs systems. The problem is, these companies often only offer products they stock—so their advice is limited to what they want to sell.
As an independent home security consultant, Smartsec Security Solutions offers:
- Unbiased advice with no sales targets or commissions
- Customised recommendations based on your home, not a sales package
- Assessment of multiple options so you can compare brands and installers
- Support in planning upgrades, especially if you’re building or renovating
- Clarity before committing to expensive systems or long-term service contracts
Because we don’t sell, install, or maintain any products, you can trust that our advice is purely in your best interest.
Designing the Right Home Security System for You
No two homes—or homeowners—are the same. That’s why our approach is always tailored to your environment and lifestyle.
Assessing the Property
We begin with an on-site or virtual walkthrough of your home. This helps us understand your layout, routines, and any areas of concern. We assess your property’s perimeter, doors, windows, garage, and any blind spots or vulnerable areas.
Understanding Your Lifestyle
We take into account:
- Whether you work from home or travel often
- How many people live at the property
- What time you typically leave and return
- Whether you have pets, cleaners, or regular visitors
- Any high-value items, vehicles, or equipment stored on-site
These details help us recommend the right balance of technology and physical controls.
Recommending Fit-for-Purpose Security
Based on our assessment, we prepare a tailored report outlining what you need (and what you don’t). This might include:
- The right type and location of CCTV cameras
- Smart alarms or monitoring options
- Access control (e.g. smart locks, video intercoms, keypads)
- Perimeter improvements, like gates, fencing, or locks
- Lighting strategies for driveways, entry paths, and backyards
- Duress buttons or panic systems for at-risk households
If you already have a system in place, we also advise on how to enhance it—or avoid replacing parts unnecessarily.
Planning for the Long Term
We also help homeowners future-proof their security by planning for changes such as:
- Children growing up or moving out
- Renting or selling the home
- Adding external structures (e.g. sheds, studios, granny flats)
- Installing smart home integrations or automation
Whether you want something simple and effective or a fully integrated smart system, we help you plan with confidence—and without pressure.
We Help You Choose the Right Installer—If You Need One
Once your security plan is complete, we can help you approach local installers with a clear scope of work. That way:
- You only get quotes for what you actually need
- You avoid upselling or unnecessary features
- You can compare installers fairly
- You stay in control of your home’s security
You’re welcome to engage your own provider, or we can recommend options from previous client projects. Either way, you remain the decision-maker.

We work with a wide range of clients, including:
- Homeowners wanting to upgrade or review their security
- Families moving into new homes or building from scratch
- Retirees or older residents seeking better peace of mind
