Scott Ferguson, owner of Kiwi Alarms — security alarm installer in Reno NV
About Scott

Reno's Local
Alarm Expert

Originally from New Zealand — "Kiwi" isn't just a brand name, it's who I am. I've called Reno, Nevada home since 2005 and have been installing alarm systems, cameras, and smart home tech across the region since 2006. Kiwi Alarms is my locally owned company — built on nearly two decades of hands-on experience.

I handle every install myself. I know your name, I know your system, and I pick up when you call. That's something no national alarm company can offer.

Whether you need a home security system in Reno, a commercial alarm in Sparks, or you're switching away from ADT or Vivint — I take care of everything, start to finish.

"Scott is super responsive and helpful. I quickly needed an alarm system installed for my insurance and he came out same day and got us all set up. He also offered the best rate we had seen. I'm glad we decided not to go with ADT — their customer service was a nightmare."

"Scott from Kiwi Alarms is excellent! He installed four solar AI cameras plus the equipment to make them run. We downloaded the app and he showed us the full functionality. The cameras work perfect. Could not be more happy. I recommend giving Scott a call for any alarm and cameras."

"Scott was amazing from the beginning consultation. He was very thorough when installing our new security system with the camera installation, to the panel especially the z-wave thermostat. Everything was integrated and the clarity from the eufy cameras is super sharp! Highly recommend going with Scott for your home security needs."
