When most people think of home security, they envision a few cameras and a keypad on the wall. While that might have worked in the past, today’s risks demand more robust, intelligent, and wide-ranging solutions. At Carolina Burglar & Fire Alarm, we pride ourselves on delivering exactly that—as your trusted security system supplier, alarm company, and home security provider for decades across North and South Carolina.
We believe that security is more than protecting the front door—it’s about securing everything you value, from your garage and storage shed to your business property and even your self storage units.
In this blog, we’ll break down what comprehensive, modern security really looks like—and how we at Carolina Burglar & Fire Alarm can help you make smart, safe decisions for your home or business.
Security Is No Longer One-Size-Fits-All
In today’s world, threats don’t come from just one direction. Theft, fire, vandalism, and environmental hazards can hit when you least expect it—and often in places that are least protected. Most DIY or entry-level security systems only cover the basics, and unfortunately, that’s where the gaps start.
As a leading alarm company and security system supplier, we’ve seen it all—and we know that true peace of mind comes from having a solution built around your needs, not a pre-packaged kit.
The Most Forgotten Areas in Property Security
1. Detached Structures and Outbuildings
Garages, workshops, storage sheds, and pool houses are often filled with high-value items: tools, bikes, sporting equipment, and more. Yet they are rarely protected by your main security system.
We offer wireless intrusion detection, weather-resistant surveillance, and smart access control tailored for detached structures. These solutions are seamlessly integrated with your main system, giving you full visibility and control via smartphone or tablet.
2. Self Storage Units
Whether you’re a homeowner storing seasonal items or a small business keeping excess inventory, self storage units are often overlooked when it comes to proper protection. Unfortunately, they’re common targets for theft—especially if the facility itself doesn’t offer individual unit alarms.
As both a security system supplier and self storage security consultant, we provide individual renters and facility operators with:
Smart padlocks and Bluetooth lock access
Motion sensors inside units
Cloud-based video surveillance
Temperature and smoke detection
Mobile monitoring apps for real-time alerts
If it’s worth storing, it’s worth protecting.
Fire Safety: More Than Just a Smoke Alarm
Most homes and small businesses still rely on a single, battery-powered smoke alarm in the hallway. But that’s not enough.
As your local fire alarm retailer and smoke detector retailer, we install and maintain code-compliant, monitored fire detection systems that protect your property and alert emergency services the moment something goes wrong.
What We Offer:
Heat detectors for garages and kitchens
Hardwired smoke and carbon monoxide detectors
Multi-sensor detectors (smoke, CO, heat)
Fire panels with 24/7 monitoring
System maintenance and inspections
Early detection is everything—especially when you’re not home to hear the alarm. That’s why monitored fire systems save lives and property.

Why 24/7 Monitoring Is a Game-Changer

Real-time alerts to your phone
Instant emergency response (police, fire, medical)
Live video access from anywhere
Remote arm/disarm capabilities
Reduced homeowner insurance premiums
You’re not always home, and you can’t be everywhere at once. Monitoring ensures someone always has your back—even in the middle of the night.
How One Customer Protected Their Self Storage the Smart Way
Recently, one of our long-time clients, a small business owner in Charlotte, came to us after a break-in occurred at the self storage facility where they kept extra inventory.
We provided them with a tailored solution:
Motion sensor lighting
A smart, tamper-proof padlock
A Wi-Fi-enabled camera with night vision
Smoke detector inside the unit (due to flammable materials)
App-based monitoring synced with their existing business system
Within weeks, they received an alert about unusual activity. Authorities were notified, and a theft was prevented. Now, their storage unit is just as protected as their storefront—and they sleep easier because of it.
