Smart Alarm Systems
Urban Eye installs wireless smart alarms for Nairobi homes, shops, and offices. Alerts reach your phone the moment a sensor trips, and photo-verified detectors show you exactly what triggered it, so a real intruder gets a real response and a false alarm gets ignored.

Which of these sounds like you?
These are the five situations a smart alarm solves best. If yours is here, it is likely the right starting point.
A siren goes off at 2 a.m. and nobody knows whether it is worth driving over.
Door sensors and a motion detector raise an instant alert, photo detectors show you who is inside, and a hidden panic button protects staff during trading hours.
Usually fits: Essential Retail or Storefront Guardian
You are away for days, and your only protection is a gate guard or a neighbour.
Arm and disarm from your phone, get an alert the moment a door opens, and see a photo of what triggered it.
Usually fits: Home Verified
The old system goes off so often that family, staff, and neighbours have stopped responding.
Photo verification confirms a real intruder before you call anyone, and pet-immune sensors can be used where animals move indoors.
Usually fits: Home Verified or Storefront Guardian
Cut wires, a dead panel, and a siren nobody has serviced in years.
A wireless system replaces it without re-cabling the property, and Urban Eye Connect covers scheduled maintenance and remote support.
Usually fits: recommended after a site review
KPLC blackouts and unstable internet silence a basic alarm exactly when it matters.
Backup batteries keep the hub running through outages, and dual-SIM hubs switch networks automatically when broadband drops.
Usually fits: hub options confirmed during your site review

Request an AssessmentWhen your alarm goes off
Every system follows the same verified sequence, whether you monitor alerts yourself or hand them to Urban Eye PRO Monitoring.
A door contact, motion detector, or glass-break sensor detects entry, and the hub raises an alert immediately.
You get a push notification straight away. Photo-verified detectors attach a picture, so you can see what triggered it.
On the free app plan, you check the alert and decide. With PRO Monitoring, our team and our response partner see it at the same moment and check it.
A confirmed threat activates your agreed response plan. With PRO Monitoring, first responders attend, and serious incidents are escalated to armed response.
Each event is logged in your system history, giving you a clear record of what happened and what was done.

Is a smart alarm right for you?
We would rather point you to the right system than sell you the wrong one.
Installation
You see the full cost, including the monthly Connect fee, before anything is installed.
Share your property type, main concern, and timeframe through the form or on WhatsApp.
We check entry points, blind spots, and signal coverage before recommending sensors.
You receive the equipment list and final price, including monthly fees, for approval.
We install and test the system, then set up the app with you so everyone knows how to arm, disarm, and respond.
Technical proof
The strongest alarm is not the loudest one. It is the system that confirms the threat with visual proof and keeps working when power and networks fail.
MotionCam detectors send a series of photos the moment movement is detected, so you, and our control room if you subscribe to PRO Monitoring, can see what triggered the alarm.
Operating on proprietary Jeweller radio technology with two-way encrypted handshakes, multi-frequency hopping against radio jamming, and up to 2,000 meters of open-air transmission without invasive wall cabling.
Integrated lithium backup power provides up to 16 hours of independent operation during KPLC grid failure. Dual SIM slots (Safaricom and Airtel) switch data channels automatically if fixed broadband drops.
Arm, disarm, bypass individual zones, check device battery levels, and grant scheduled access to staff or cleaning crews directly from an intuitive, encrypted mobile application.
