Intruders climbing the wall at night
For someone determined, a plain wall is just a ladder into your compound.
A pulse along the top of the wall that is painful but not lethal makes climbing it a bad idea.
Usually fits: Wall-Top Electric Fence
Electric Fencing
Stop Intruders at the Wall, and Know on Your Phone When Someone Tries.
Urban Eye installs Nemtek electric fences on walls and as free-standing perimeters for homes, estates, and commercial sites in Kenya. A short, high-voltage pulse that is painful but not lethal deters climbers, and unlike most installers, we connect the fence to an Ajax alarm so fence alarms reach your phone.

Which of these sounds like you?
A wall on its own only slows a determined intruder.
These are the perimeter problems we are asked to fix most. If yours is here, a free survey will show what your boundary needs.
A siren nobody hears
Most electric fences only sound a siren on site, which is no use when you are away.
We connect the fence to an Ajax alarm, so fence alarms reach the Ajax app on your phone wherever you are.
Usually fits: any fence we install
A fence that stopped working weeks ago
A cut or shorted wire went unnoticed, and the fence has been doing nothing.
The energizer raises an alarm when the wire is cut, shorted, or tampered with, and the alert reaches your phone instead of waiting to be discovered.
Usually fits: any fence we install
A long boundary with no idea where they tried
Guards search the whole perimeter in the dark to find where someone got in.
Larger properties are split into zones, so the alarm shows which section of the fence was touched.
Usually fits: Free-Standing Perimeter Fence
Power cuts that switch the fence off
When the power goes, a basic fence goes quiet exactly when it is needed.
A backup battery keeps the energizer running through power cuts, sized to your property.
Usually fits: sized during your survey

What happens between the wire and your phone.
This is where our fences differ. Most stop at a siren on site. Ours carry on to your phone.
01
A pulse runs along the wire
A Nemtek energizer sends a short, high-voltage pulse that is painful but not lethal, so climbing the fence hurts.
02
The energizer watches the wire
If the wire is cut, shorted, or tampered with, the energizer raises an alarm, on larger properties for the exact zone.
03
The alarm sounds on site
A siren warns the intruder, and anyone on the property, that the fence has been touched.
04
The alert reaches your phone
Because the fence is connected to an Ajax alarm, the alert appears in the Ajax app wherever you are.
05
Someone acts on it
You decide what to do, or with PRO Monitoring, our team and our response partner see the alert at the same moment and follow your response plan.
Fence options
On top of your wall, or a full perimeter of its own.
Both options are quoted per metre after a free survey, because boundary length, gates, and zones differ on every property.
Wall-Top Electric Fence
Quoted per metre
After a free site survey
Best for: homes, estates, apartment blocks, and commercial properties that already have a boundary wall.
Brackets and high-tensile wire along the top of your existing wall, a Nemtek energizer with backup battery, fence alarms sent to the Ajax app, and zones where the property is large enough to need them.
Request a survey →Free-Standing Perimeter Fence
Quoted per metre
After a free site survey
Best for: warehouses, logistics centres, solar farms, large compounds, and open land without a wall.
A complete electric fence built from the ground up, split into zones, with a Nemtek energizer and backup battery, fence alarms sent to the Ajax app, and CCTV added where you need to see the boundary.
Request a survey →What affects your price
The survey measures your boundary and checks its condition, so the written quotation reflects the fence your property actually needs.
- Length of the boundaryPriced per metre of fence.
- Wall-top or free-standingA fence on an existing wall needs less material than one built from the ground.
- Zones, gates, and cornersMore zones and openings mean more wiring and hardware.
- Backup batterySized to keep your energizer running through power cuts.
Fence alarms can be added to PRO Monitoring, from KES 8,050/month. Compare monitoring plans →
The free survey
We check the weak points before quoting the fence.
A fence is only as strong as the gaps around it, so the survey looks beyond the wall itself.
Wall Condition and Height
Whether your wall can carry wall-top brackets, or whether a free-standing fence is the better option.
Hidden Ways In
Trees and vegetation near the fence, storm drains, pipe routes, and service openings that let someone get past the wire.
Gates and Zones
Where the gates are, how long the boundary is, and whether splitting it into zones will help you find a breach quickly.
Power, Alerts, and Cameras
Where the energizer and backup battery go, how the fence connects to your Ajax alarm, and whether cameras would help cover the boundary.
Is an electric fence right for you?
A good fit, or better served by something else.
A fence stops people at the boundary. Sometimes you need something that also shows who they were or stops them at the door.
An electric fence is a good fit if
- You have a wall or boundary that intruders can climb.
- You want to know on your phone when someone tries.
- You are often away, or the property is empty at night.
- You want to stop intruders before they reach the house or building.
You are better served elsewhere if
- You need to see who tried to get in. See CCTV Installation
- You rent and cannot alter the wall. See Home Programs
- You need someone to act on alarms at night. See PRO Monitoring
- You need to control who comes through the gate. See Manned Guarding
FAQs
Common electric fence questions.
Still have a question?
Talk to our operations team directly on WhatsApp or by phone.
How much does an electric fence cost?
Electric fencing is quoted per metre after a free site survey. The price depends on the length of the boundary, whether the fence goes on top of a wall or stands on its own, the number of zones and gates, and the backup battery your property needs. You receive a written quotation before any work starts.
Is an electric fence dangerous?
The fence delivers a short, high-voltage pulse that is painful but not lethal. The aim is to make climbing the wall a bad idea, not to injure anyone.
Will I get an alert on my phone?
Yes. Most installers stop at a siren on site. We connect the fence to an Ajax alarm system, so when the fence alarm triggers, the alert reaches the Ajax app on your phone wherever you are.
Does the fence keep working during a power cut?
Yes. A backup battery keeps the energizer running when the power goes off. The battery is sized to your property during the survey.
Can you tell which part of the fence was touched?
On properties large enough to need it, the fence is split into zones, so the alarm shows which section was touched. The number of zones depends on the size of the property.
Which energizers do you install?
We install Nemtek energizers.
Can the fence work with monitoring and cameras?
Yes. Because the fence connects to an Ajax alarm, it can be added to PRO Monitoring, where alerts reach our team and our response partner at the same moment. CCTV can be added where you also need to see who tried to get in.
