Frequently Asked Questions About Electronic Security Systems in Kenya
When organisations and homeowners in Kenya evaluate electronic security solutions, they often have important questions about system reliability, suitability, installation, and long-term support. At Solutions Unlimited, addressing these concerns transparently is a core part of how we deliver trusted security systems across the country.
One of the most common questions is what types of security systems are best suited for homes and businesses. The answer depends on several factors, including property size, risk exposure, and operational requirements. Common solutions include biometric access control systems, burglar and intruder alarms, electric fencing, automated gates, fire detection systems, and integrated security platforms that combine multiple technologies for layered protection.
Clients also frequently ask whether electronic security systems can be customised. Modern security systems are highly configurable. At Solutions Unlimited, systems are designed after a site assessment to ensure compatibility with existing infrastructure, power availability (including solar options), and future scalability. This approach ensures each solution is fit for purpose and cost-effective over time.
Another frequent concern is system reliability and maintenance. Electronic security systems require professional installation and regular servicing to remain effective. With over 16 years of industry experience, Solutions Unlimited provides preventive maintenance, technical support, and access to genuine spare parts from globally recognised brands such as Suprema, ZKTeco, Hikvision, Dahua, Turnstar, Centurion, and Garrett. This ensures long-term reliability and compliance with manufacturer standards.
Many clients ask whether security systems can operate during power outages. Most modern systems support battery backup, solar power, or hybrid configurations. This is particularly important in Kenya, where uninterrupted security is critical for residential estates, commercial facilities, and industrial sites.
Questions around data privacy and biometric security are also increasingly common. Biometric access control systems work by securely encrypting and storing biometric templates rather than raw images. When implemented by experienced professionals, these systems comply with best practices for data protection and access governance, making them suitable for offices, institutions, and regulated environments.
Finally, clients often want to know which areas Solutions Unlimited serves. The company provides nationwide coverage, serving clients in Nairobi, Thika, Meru, Kisumu, Mombasa, Eldoret, Kisii, Nakuru, Naivasha, Nanyuki, Kericho, Namanga, Busia, and other major towns across Kenya.
By addressing these frequently asked questions, Solutions Unlimited demonstrates its expertise, experience, and commitment to delivering reliable electronic security systems tailored to the Kenyan market. Clear guidance, professional implementation, and ongoing support remain central to helping out clients protect people, property, and operations with confidence.
