Yes. If your home already has smart home equipment installed — such as an Alarm.com panel, Qolsys keypad, or sensors from a new construction build — Kiwi Alarms can take over monitoring through Brinks Home Security. Many homeowners in DR Horton and other Reno developments own their equipment but are paying ADT or Safehaven rates. You can switch monitoring without replacing any hardware. Learn more about smart home monitoring.
Kiwi Alarms installs 2K (4MP), 4K (8MP), and 12MP security cameras. All cameras include night vision. Active deterrence cameras are available — these detect human presence and trigger flashing LED spotlights and audible warnings before an intruder reaches your door. Remote viewing via smartphone is included on all systems. See all camera options.
Active deterrence cameras detect a person entering your property and immediately respond — flashing LED spotlights activate and an audible warning sounds. This happens before any crime occurs, unlike standard cameras that only record after the fact. Active deterrence is especially effective for driveways, front doors, and package delivery areas. Kiwi Alarms installs active deterrence cameras throughout Reno and the surrounding area.
Yes. Kiwi Alarms installs smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and flood sensors as part of a complete home security system. These devices are integrated into your alarm panel — not standalone units. When triggered, Brinks Home Security dispatches fire or medical services immediately, even if you are asleep or away from home.
