Standards and warranty to ask about
Some installers say their systems carry BIS certification, and some cite international intruder alarm standards. Ask to see the certificate rather than accepting the claim. Warranty terms vary: one home security provider in the results lists a 2-year warranty as standard with its service, so ask what the warranty covers and for how long.
Season and weather
The climate is tropical, hot all year, with a wet season that brings heavy rain and humidity. Outdoor sirens and sensors need a weatherproof rating, and several kits in the results are labelled indoor and outdoor weatherproof. Ask the seller to confirm the rating before you put any part outside.
Sites, sensors and how it is bought
Prices are per kit, and the number of sensors depends on how many doors and windows need cover and on the premises area, which is best given in square metres or square feet. Sellers list the hardware separately, so ask whether installation, the app setup and any monitoring subscription are included. Ask the seller to confirm delivery and installation to your city, such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Chennai.
What to write in your request
Give the city and the premises area, and say whether it is a flat, house or shop. List how many doors and windows need sensors, whether you want a Wi-Fi or GSM kit with a mobile app, and whether you want a monitored alarm. Add your budget. The more exact the site details, the more accurate the installer's quote will be.
