Alarms & cameras — systems and costs in Luxembourg at a glance
An alarm protects effectively against break-ins — and often against fire and water damage too. Recent systems tie into the smart home and are controlled from your phone. They differ mainly in transmission — wireless or wired — and in equipment level.
On this page: why to fit one in 2026, the real Luxembourg price ranges, and how to receive two comparable quotes within 24 hours — free of charge.
Why an alarm in 2026: deter first, alert second
Comfortable houses, motorways 20 minutes from the borders: Luxembourg's residential districts attract mobile burglary crews. The good news: a visibly protected house is usually simply skipped.
The border location works against you
Burglary crews work off the border corridors: quick reconnaissance, break-in in minutes, motorway exit next door. Unprotected houses go first.
Deterrence does most of the work
A visible siren, cameras in plain sight, outdoor detection: given two houses, the burglar picks the one without equipment. Your alarm works before it ever sounds.
You see everything, from your phone
Arm it remotely, get a notification on detection, verify by camera: in 10 seconds you know whether it was the cat or an intrusion — from your sofa or your holiday.
Your insurer takes it into account
Some insurers cut the premium or require a certified system to fully cover valuables. An installation to standard puts your policy on your side.
One more argument at resale
An alarm system installed and maintained reassures the buyer — like a recent boiler or a sound roof.

Alarms & cameras: your questions
How much does an alarm with cameras cost?
An alarm kit starts around €800–€2,000; with cameras and monitoring, expect €2,000 to €5,000 depending on the number of zones. Your two quotes price your home.
Is monitoring included?
It is an option with a monthly subscription. Your installers offer the alarm on its own or with an approved monitoring centre — the cost is in the quote.
Wireless or wired?
Wireless installs fast and without major work; wired is more robust for large houses. Your installers advise you based on the property.
Can I manage everything from my phone?
Yes, most systems come with a mobile app: arming, notifications, live view. State what you expect in your request.
How many installers will contact me?
Two at most. Never 5, never 27. It is written into our contract.
Is it free for me?
Yes, €0. HomeUpdate is paid by the trade companies, never by homeowners.
