Alarm System FAQs
Does PGC Security install alarm systems?
Yes. PGC Security installs alarm systems for homes, businesses, commercial properties and other sites across Albury Wodonga, Wagga Wagga and surrounding areas.
The right alarm system depends on your property, access points, operating hours, risk level and whether you want the system monitored.
What type of alarm system does my business need?
The right alarm system depends on your site layout, entry points, staff access, assets, operating hours and how you want alerts managed.
A small office may need a simple setup, while a larger commercial site, warehouse, retail store or construction site may need multiple detection points, monitoring and alarm response support.
Can PGC Security upgrade an existing alarm system?
Yes. If you already have an alarm system, PGC Security can review your current setup and advise whether it can be upgraded, repaired, monitored or improved.
An upgrade may be useful if your system is outdated, unreliable or no longer suits the way the property is used.
Can an alarm system work with CCTV?
Yes. Alarm systems and CCTV can work well together.
An alarm system alerts you when something has happened. CCTV can help show what happened. When used together, they can provide stronger protection and better information if an incident occurs.
Do I need alarm monitoring or just an alarm system?
A standalone alarm system can help deter unwanted activity and alert people nearby. Alarm monitoring provides another layer of support because the alarm activation is managed through a monitoring process.
For many businesses, alarm monitoring is useful because the property may be unattended after hours, during weekends or over holiday periods.

Guard Service FAQs
When would my business need a security guard?
A security guard may be useful when your business needs a visible security presence on site.
This can include protecting staff, customers, stock, equipment, entry points or high traffic areas. Guard services may also be suitable for retail stores, commercial properties, warehouses, events, construction sites and other locations where extra support is needed.
What does a security guard do?
A security guard can help monitor activity, manage access, support staff, respond to incidents and provide a visible deterrent.
The role can be tailored to the site. For some businesses, this may mean checking entry points and monitoring customer areas. For others, it may involve protecting assets, assisting with crowd control or supporting safety procedures.
Can PGC Security provide guards for short term or ongoing needs?
Yes. PGC Security can provide guard services for short term, event based or ongoing security needs.

Mobile Patrol FAQs
What are mobile patrols?
Mobile patrols are security checks carried out by trained security personnel at your property, site or business.
They can include external checks, internal checks, lock ups, unlocks, access checks and reporting anything unusual. Mobile patrols provide a visible security presence, which can help deter unwanted activity.
What types of businesses use mobile patrols?
Mobile patrols can be useful for retail stores, offices, warehouses, construction sites, industrial sites, hospitality venues and commercial properties.
They are often used when a site is unattended after hours, has valuable equipment or stock on site, or needs regular security checks outside normal business hours.
Can mobile patrols be tailored to my business?
Yes. Mobile patrols can be tailored to suit your property, operating hours, risk level and security needs.
This may include scheduled patrols, random checks, lock ups, unlocks or patrols around higher risk times. PGC Security can talk through what you need and recommend a practical patrol arrangement.
Alarm Response Services FAQs
What is alarm response?
Alarm response is the action taken after an alarm is triggered at your property, business or site.
Depending on your response plan, this may include attending the property, checking for signs of damage or forced entry, contacting nominated people, arranging further support or following any agreed instructions for that site.
Can PGC Security respond to my alarm after hours?
Yes. PGC Security can provide alarm response services when your alarm is activated, including outside normal business hours.
This is useful for businesses, homes, commercial properties and sites that may be unattended overnight, on weekends or during holiday periods.
Do I need alarm response if I already have alarm monitoring?
Alarm monitoring and alarm response work together, but they are not the same service.
Alarm monitoring manages the alert when your alarm is activated. Alarm response is the physical action taken after the alarm goes off, such as attending the site and checking what has happened.
Access control FAQs
What is access control?
Access control is a security system that helps manage who can enter a building, room, gate or restricted area.
It can reduce the need for traditional keys and give businesses better control over staff, contractor and visitor access.
Why would my business need access control?
Access control can help protect staff, stock, equipment, records and restricted areas by limiting access to authorised people.
It can be useful for offices, warehouses, medical centres, schools, retail spaces, commercial sites and any business that needs better control over who can enter certain areas.<
Can access control work with CCTV and alarms?
Yes. Access control can work well with CCTV, alarm systems, alarm monitoring and alarm response services.
Together, these systems can give your business better visibility over who is entering the property, what is happening on site and how incidents should be managed.
Crowd control FAQs
When would an event need crowd control?
Crowd control may be needed when an event has a large number of people, entry points to manage, alcohol service, ticketed access, public attendance or areas where staff need support.
It can be useful for community events, private functions, school events, corporate events, sporting events, licensed venues and hospitality events.
What does crowd control involve?
Crowd control can include managing entry points, monitoring guest behaviour, supporting staff, helping with incident response and keeping people moving safely through the event space.
The role will depend on the event type, location, expected numbers and any risks that need to be managed.
