Alarm System Cost Guide — Abu Dhabi & Al Ain

The main drivers are the number of zones, the sensor mix (door and window contacts, PIR motion, glass-break, panic), wired versus wireless, the panel and keypad, installation and cabling labour, and whether you add 24/7 ARC monitoring or an AMC. A basic wired system, a whole-villa or apartment system and a wireless or hybrid package with app self-monitoring are different scopes. Emirtech does not publish a price list: every system is priced in the itemised written quotation after a free site survey.

A conventional wired panel with a handful of PIR motion detectors, door/window contacts on the main entry points and an internal sounder is the honest entry point for a small office or shop with a limited number of rooms. It costs less than a wireless or hybrid system because it uses one control panel and standard cabling, but it suits new-build or renovation sites where running cable is straightforward.

Wireless is the practical choice for retrofits into existing buildings where running new cable would mean damaging finishes, for heritage properties, or for temporary sites. Encrypted wireless sensors report on a two-way radio protocol and offer the same zone functionality as wired installations, at a device-cost premium that is usually offset by the labour saved on cabling.

For unattended premises, high-value stock, or sites where a verified response matters (a triggered alarm dispatching an actual check rather than just a loud noise), connecting the panel to an alarm receiving centre (ARC) is worth the monthly monitoring fee. For an owner-occupied home where someone is usually present to react to a local siren, self-monitoring via a smartphone app is often sufficient.

No. Emirtech is an independent ELV systems integrator, not a branded dealer or official channel partner of any alarm manufacturer. We supply equipment through authorised distributors and are experienced installing, programming and maintaining Ajax, Bosch, Honeywell, DSC and Paradox systems, working to whichever brand suits the project specification or budget.

No. Our ADMCC-regulated alarm system work is scoped to Abu Dhabi and Al Ain only. Dubai's electronic-security regulator is SIRA, a separate licence Emirtech does not hold, so Dubai alarm quotations and installations go through SIRA-approved partners, with Emirtech coordinating.
