Not all security companies are the same. Some sell boxes and walk away. Others lack the technical depth to design systems that actually work. A few cut corners on installation and leave you with problems down the track.
When you work with AR Electronics, you're not just buying equipment. You're gaining a security partner who understands your business, designs solutions for your specific risks, and stands behind the work we do.
The compliance schedule lists all the safety systems in your building (fire alarms, emergency lighting, access control, sprinklers, etc.) along with the inspection, maintenance, and reporting procedures required to keep them functioning correctly. Each year, you need an IQP to inspect these systems, issue Form 12A certificates confirming compliance, and enable you to submit your BWOF to Council.

Security isn't a one-size-fits-all product. It's a solution tailored to your environment, your risks, and your budget. That's what we deliver.
The security industry in New Zealand is regulated for good reason — your safety depends on competent, trustworthy professionals. AR Electronics holds all required licences and certifications, giving you confidence that you're working with qualified experts.
AR Electronics holds a company licence issued by the Private Security Personnel Licensing Authority (PSPLA) under the Private Security Personnel and Private Investigators Act 2010. This means:
Why it matters: Unlicensed operators put you at risk. They may lack proper training, skip compliance requirements, or disappear when problems arise. A PSPLA-licensed company is accountable to regulators and held to professional standards.
We're registered as Independent Qualified Persons (IQPs) with Auckland Council for specified systems including:
This means we can inspect, test, and certify these systems for your Building Warrant of Fitness (BWOF). If your building has a compliance schedule, we provide the Form 12A certificates you need to stay compliant.
Why it matters: Many security installers can't provide IQP services. You'd need to hire a separate compliance company, adding cost and complexity. With AR Electronics, installation and compliance come from the same team.
Our technicians hold current certifications from the brands we install. This isn't just a sales relationship — it's verified technical competency.
Our certifications include:
Manufacturer certification means our technicians have completed formal training, passed assessments, and stay current with product updates. You get systems installed correctly, configured optimally, and supported by people who truly understand the technology.
Why it matters: Incorrect installation voids warranties, causes reliability problems, and compromises security. Certified technicians get it right the first time.
We partner with industry-leading manufacturers to deliver reliable, proven technology. Our multi-brand approach means we recommend the best solution for your situation — not just the one brand we happen to sell.
This isn't about having the longest list — it's about having the right tools to solve your security challenges. We'll recommend the brand and model that fits your requirements, budget, and existing infrastructure.
Security projects fail when there's no clear ownership. The salesperson blames the installer, the installer blames the equipment, and you're left with a system that doesn't work properly.
AR Electronics provides end-to-end service — from initial consultation through to ongoing support. One company, one point of contact, complete accountability.
Every project starts with understanding your needs. We visit your site, assess your risks, and discuss your operations. Then we design a system that addresses your specific requirements — not a generic template copied from another job.
Our design process includes:
Installation quality determines long-term reliability. We take pride in clean, professional workmanship that meets manufacturer specifications and industry standards.
Our installation standards:
We don't rush jobs to move on to the next one. We take the time to do it right.
A security system is only effective if you know how to use it. We provide comprehensive training for your team, covering:
You'll receive documentation including user manuals, system diagrams, and emergency contact details. We don't leave until you're confident operating your new system.
Security systems need regular maintenance to remain reliable. Batteries age, firmware needs updating, and equipment requires periodic testing. We offer maintenance contracts that keep your systems performing optimally.
Our support includes:
Response times: We understand that security issues can't wait. Our maintenance clients receive priority scheduling for urgent callouts.
Modern security works best when systems communicate with each other. A door forced open should trigger an alarm and start cameras recording. An access card should log entry times and unlock only authorised doors. Motion detected after hours should activate lights and send alerts.
