What is a home security loan?

Having a home security system is something many families across Australia have installed to maintain peace of mind about their family and belongings.

However, installing a security system isn't cheap. Depending on the size and complexity of the system, costs generally range from $300 up to $4,000.

If the price is putting you off securing your home, consider applying for a Jacaranda Finance home security loan and pay in flexible instalments rather than one lump sum.

THE APPLICATION PROCESS

We Make Applying Easy

We know how important it is to receive your funds in a timely manner. As a hard-working Australian, you don’t have time to waste on needless paperwork.

That’s why our loan application process has been perfected over time to be as simple and quick as possible.

How expensive is a home security system?

There are many components that could make up a home security system. We break down the costs of four major security components:

Source: SPL Security.

  • Home security cameras & surveillance

    Cameras allow you to watch what is happening around the circumference of your home. Traditional cameras will record footage, while smart cameras will send a stream to your smartphone.

    A low-end camera can cost around $250, while a high-end model can cost upward of $1,200.

  • Security Screens

    Security screens must meet a variety of Australian standards before being sold, guaranteeing they will withstand various tests in impact, leverage, and cutting to ensure their durability and ability to withstand force from an intruder.

    Costs range from $600 to $1,400, with installation varying depending on the door size, type, and material.

  • Control panel activation and installation

    Control panels allow you to access, connect, and control elements of your home security system, like enabling and disabling sensors and alarms.

    Activation and installation typically range from $700 to $1,900.

  • Alarms

    Fire, smoke, and burglar alarm costs vary depending on the type and quantity of the alarm. Generally, alarms range from $30 to $50 per alarm, not including installation costs.

Once you've checked your eligibility and we've let you know that you do qualify for a loan, you have the option to move forward with a full application.

We will perform a credit assessment during this process, which involves checking your credit report. By submitting a full application, you authorise Jacaranda Finance to obtain a copy of your full credit file, referred to as a 'hard' credit check.

Applying for a loan with Jacaranda Finance takes most people 5-12 minutes1, but it could take longer depending on a number of factors such as but not limited to how fast you are at typing or if you have all the required information on hand.
