The Benefits of an Alarm System When Moving to Spain

Moving to Spain – to a villa on the Costa Blanca, a flat on the Costa del Sol, or a home on the Costa Cálida – is an exciting adventure. But as you unpack boxes and start your new life, there’s one thing you shouldn’t overlook: security. The Guardia Civil warns of burglary attempts, especially in coastal areas where many newcomers settle. An alarm system can make all the difference.

In this article, we dive into the benefits of an alarm system when moving to Spain, featuring our Hikvision AX PRO system – no subscriptions required – as the ideal choice. For new expats or second-home buyers, this guide offers practical insights to make your start safe and stress-free.

Why Security Matters When Moving

Moving to Spain comes with unique risks:

• Chaos: Boxes, open doors, and new routines leave your home exposed.
• Vacancy: If you’re still traveling back and forth, your home might sit empty.
• Unfamiliarity: New expats don’t yet know local risks.
• Valuables: Moving boxes full of stuff are a magnet for burglars.

An alarm system gives you peace of mind from day one.

Benefit 1: Instant Safety

With our Hikvision AX PRO system, you’re secure right away. Our Optex sensors detect motion up to 12 meters outside your home – burglars don’t even get in. See it work on our outdoor detection page (specific video not fully translated yet). Setup takes one day – book via our appointment page.

No waiting, just safety – crucial when moving.

Benefit 2: No Subscription Hassles

Moving’s expensive enough – you don’t need extra costs. Traditional systems like Securitas Direct charge €40-€60 monthly – €2,400-€3,600 over 5 years. Our system costs €699-€1,000 once – no subscriptions. More at our packages page.

A one-time investment fits your new beginning.

Benefit 3: Easy for Newcomers

As a new expat, you’ve got enough on your plate. Our system’s simple: tag readers and the Hik-Connect app make arming/disarming a breeze – no complex codes. More on this at our about us page (no specific English Hikvision page yet).

No learning curve – you’re protected fast.

Benefit 4: Control, Wherever You Are

Moving often means back-and-forth trips – you’re not always in Spain. With our app, you get live footage and alerts, even from the UK. This is future-ready security – you’re in control, always.

Practical Tips for Moving

With our system, you’re set, but here are extra tips:

• Install early: Set up security before your stuff arrives.
• Hide boxes: Piles of boxes draw eyes – stash them away.
• Check locks: Reinforce doors until your system’s up.
• Meet neighbors: Ask them to keep an eye out.

Pair this with our system, and your move is secure.

Why Traditional Systems Don’t Fit

Traditional security – control rooms, high fees – isn’t ideal when moving:

• Costly: Monthly fees pile up – more at our misleading claims page.
• Reactive: Triggers after a break-in – too late.
• Hassle: New expats don’t need extra worries.

Our system offers prevention and ease – perfect for a fresh start.
