Stop Intruders at the Wall, Not Inside Your Living Room.

A perimeter wall and a gate guard are not enough. Urban Eye protects Nairobi homes, apartments, and estates with wireless alarms that can detect intruders outdoors, send photo proof to your phone, and keep working through KPLC blackouts.

Automated ornamental swing gate for private compounds and luxury residential villas in Nairobi

Protection works best when it matches how your home is lived in.

A standalone compound and a fifth-floor apartment face different risks. Find yours below to see what usually fits.

Standalone homes and compounds

A long boundary wall, a large compound, and a gate guard who cannot see every side.

Outdoor detectors watch walls, verandas, and driveways, so an intruder is flagged before reaching a door or window, and photo detectors show you what triggered the alert.

Usually fits: Home Complete

Apartments

The main door is the main target during working hours, when nobody is home.

A door sensor sends a push notification the moment the door opens, and a motion detector confirms whether someone is actually inside.

Usually fits: Home Essential

Family homes while you travel

You are away for days, and your only protection is a gate guard or a neighbour.

Arm and disarm from your phone, see a photo of whatever triggers the alarm, and decide what to do from wherever you are.

Usually fits: Home Verified

Airbnb and short-stay units

Keys get copied, guests leave doors unlocked, and indoor cameras are not an option.

Door sensors, keypad codes you can change between guests, and emergency alerts protect the unit without watching your guests.

See: Airbnb & Short-Stay Security

Estates and apartment blocks

Residents want their own alarm, but equipping every unit separately gets expensive.

Depending on the building, shared infrastructure can serve several homes, with each household controlling only its own unit from the app.

Design My Plan

The Three Lines of Protection.

We do not place random sensors. Each system is built to deter, detect, and delay intruders before they reach your family, with clear mobile alerts at every stage.

First Line: Outdoor Protection

Curtain and outdoor detectors draw narrow detection lines along walls, verandas, and balconies, so an intruder is flagged before reaching the house. Outdoor lighting and electric fence alerts can be linked to the same app.

Second Line: Building Perimeter

Door and window contacts and glass-break detectors protect the shell of your home: main doors, ground-floor windows, roof access, vents, and balconies.

Third Line: Interior & Assets

Pet-immune sensors and visual verification protect interior rooms, safes, and valuables, so you know exactly what triggered the alarm.

Clear starting prices, and you own the hardware.

These are starting packages, not final quotations. Your site survey confirms the exact sensors your home needs before anything is installed.

Add protection for fire, floods, and everyday convenience.

These options connect to the same app as your alarm. They are recommended and quoted during your site survey.

Smoke and fire alerts

Wireless fire detectors watch for smoke, rapid heat rise, and carbon monoxide, and alert your phone the moment they trigger.

Leak detection and water shut-off

Leak sensors near tanks, washing machines, and pipes detect water on the floor, and a motorised valve can shut off the water supply automatically.

Security lighting

Outdoor floodlights can switch on automatically when a perimeter detector trips, lighting the compound for your cameras and your neighbours.

Gate and garage control

Open an electric gate or garage door from the same app you use to arm and disarm the alarm.

Electric fence alerts

Link an existing fence energiser so you get an alert on your phone if the fence is cut, shorted, or tampered with.

Power saving when you leave

Arming the alarm can switch off selected appliances, such as water heaters or air conditioners, to cut waste and electrical fire risk.

A good fit, or better served by something else.

We would rather point you to the right protection than sell you the wrong one.

A home alarm is a good fit if

  • You want an alert, and proof, before deciding who to call.
  • Your home has clear entry points: a gate, doors, windows, or balconies.
  • KPLC outages or unreliable Wi-Fi have let a basic alarm down.
  • You want to own your equipment instead of leasing it.

You are better served elsewhere if

  • You want a trained person on your gate day and night. See Manned Guarding
  • You want continuous recorded video of the whole compound. See CCTV Installation
  • Your main risk is a long, exposed boundary wall. See Electric Fencing
  • You only want a siren, with no app or monthly connection. A smart alarm is not the right product.

From first message to a protected home.

Home security should fit how your family and pets actually move around the property. You see the full cost, including the monthly Connect fee, before anything is installed.

01

Home vulnerability survey

We review your layout, blind spots, access points, family routines, and pet movement.

02

Layered security design

We recommend the right mix of devices using the Three Lines of Protection, with the equipment list and final price for your approval.

03

Clean wireless installation

We install the Ajax wireless system with minimal cabling, so there are no trenches through your compound or trunking across your walls.

04

Family app setup and handover

We configure the app on your phones, set up panic buttons, and show your household how to arm, disarm, and respond.

Keeps working when the power and the internet do not.

An alarm that goes silent during a blackout protects nothing. These are the reasons the system stays online.

KPLC Blackout Backup

Hub backup batteries keep the whole system running for up to 16 hours during a power cut.

Network Redundancy

Dual SIM hubs switch between mobile networks automatically, so alerts still reach your phone if your Wi-Fi router or fibre line goes down.

Wireless Through Masonry

Jeweller radio is built to communicate through concrete and stone walls between rooms and floors, with up to 2,000 metres of range in open line of sight. No trenches, no surface cabling.

Photo Verification

MotionCam detectors send a series of photos in under 9 seconds, so you can check what triggered the alarm before calling anyone.

Common residential security questions.

Good home security should reduce panic, avoid false alarms, and give your family clear control.

Talk to our operations team directly on WhatsApp or by phone.

What does a home alarm system cost?

Home Essential starts at KES 75,400, Home Verified at KES 82,200, and Home Complete from KES 329,500. Each needs Urban Eye Connect from KES 1,500/month to stay online and send alerts. Your final price is confirmed after a site survey.

Can I stop Urban Eye Connect and keep my system?

Yes. You own the hardware outright with no lease obligations, and you can stop the service at any time while keeping your equipment.

Will my pets constantly trigger the alarm?

No. We can use pet-immune sensors designed to ignore the movement of domestic animals while still reacting to human intruders. This allows you to secure your home while pets move freely in selected areas.

Will the system work during a KPLC blackout?

Yes. Hub backup batteries keep the system running for up to 16 hours during a power cut, and dual SIM hubs keep alerts reaching your phone if your Wi-Fi goes down.

Does the Three Lines approach work for apartments too?

Yes, but it is scaled to your needs. For middle-floor apartments, we usually focus on doors, accessible windows, and interior motion. For ground-floor or top-floor apartments, we may also review balconies, roof access, or shared corridors.

Do I need PRO Monitoring for my home?

No. You can receive alerts and act on them yourself at KES 0/month. PRO Monitoring, from KES 8,050/month, suits homes where nobody can reliably respond, for example while you travel.

Do I really need a site survey first?

Yes. Every home is different. A site survey helps identify real blind spots and recommend the right equipment, preventing overspending on unnecessary devices or leaving important access points unprotected.
