Burglar alarms in Singapore

Updated 31 October 2026

A burglar alarm for a Singapore home usually costs from about S$12 for a single door or window sensor, S$118 to S$146 for a Wi-Fi kit with an app, and roughly S$340 to S$1,050 for a branded or wired system with a control panel. Installation must be done by a licensed contractor, so describe your premises in a BlaBlaPrice request to get current offers.

Licensing and standards to check

Security system contractors in Singapore must hold a licence from the Police Licensing and Regulatory Department (PLRD) to install burglar alarms, so ask the installer to show a valid licence before work starts. The installation, operation and maintenance of intruder alarm systems follow the Singapore Standard SS 558:2010, a code of practice. If the system is monitored from a central station, the operator falls under the Private Security Industry (Central Alarm Monitoring Station Operator) Regulations 2009. Ask how long the equipment warranty runs and whether service plans include scheduled checks and fault diagnosis.

Weather and the wet season

Singapore is hot and humid all year, with wet and dry spells instead of winter and summer, so the timing of installation matters less than the parts you choose. Outdoor sensors, door contacts and cabling face humidity and heavy downpours for much of the year. Ask for weather-rated outdoor parts, and place sensors where rain cannot reach the electronics.

How alarms are bought here

Shop prices are for the equipment alone. Installation, a monitored connection and a service plan are often quoted separately, so ask for each item. Give the premises area in square metres, because it decides how many sensors and which panel you need. Installers price each site separately, so say whether the address is in Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands, Ang Mo Kio or elsewhere in Singapore.

What to put in your request

Name the site and its address, the premises area in m², and the system type you want (door and window sensors only, or sensors plus a monitored alarm). Say how many sensors you think you need, whether you want a Wi-Fi app or a wired panel, and whether you need technical support after installation. Give your budget too, since a DIY kit and a 16-zone wired system differ by several hundred dollars.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the premises in your own words in a chat, and you can add a photo of the door or window. The AI asks for missing details, looks through alarm sellers' websites and price lists in Singapore, and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Sellers registered here receive your request and reply in the chat with their own offer: price, warranty and installation date. Your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to contact. You can also see CCTV cameras or security systems, or create a request on the home page.
