Growing Fast. Underserved by National Companies.
Kiwi Alarms Serves Fernley Directly.

Fernley sits about 30 miles east of Reno on I-80 — close enough to attract new residents, far enough that national alarm companies dispatch contractors who've never been there. Scott serves Fernley directly and treats it as a primary market, not an afterthought.

The city has grown rapidly, driven by warehouse and distribution employment. That growth brings new housing developments — and with them, the same pre-installed smart home equipment questions that come up across Northern Nevada.

  • New construction homes may have pre-installed equipment you can switch monitoring on
  • Longer police response times than Reno — professional monitoring bridges that gap
  • $0 down options — no large upfront cost
  • Scott installs personally — not a contractor dispatched from elsewhere
  • 24/7 Brinks monitoring responds before you can call 911

Security in Fernley, NV

Fernley's crime rate has grown alongside its population. Vehicle theft, residential burglary, and property crime are the most common issues — and Fernley's spread-out layout means police response times can run significantly longer than in Reno or Sparks.

Why monitoring matters more in Fernley: When police response times are longer, a professionally monitored alarm that alerts a live operator the moment a sensor triggers becomes even more critical. Brinks dispatches emergency services immediately — you don't have to wait to notice something is wrong.

New developments on Fernley's outskirts are particularly exposed — fewer neighbours, less foot traffic, and limited street lighting create the low-risk environment that opportunistic burglars look for.

New Build Homes in Fernley — You May Already Own the Equipment

Fernley has seen significant new construction in recent years. Like developments across Northern Nevada, some new Fernley builds come pre-installed with smart home security equipment — Alarm.com panels, Qolsys keypads, and sensors. When you purchased, you may have been pushed toward a specific monitoring provider.

But if the equipment was included in your home's purchase price, you own it — and you can switch monitoring to Kiwi Alarms at a lower monthly rate without replacing any hardware.

  • Alarm.com and Qolsys fully compatible with Brinks monitoring
  • No hardware replacement needed in most cases
  • Call Scott to review your contract and equipment
  • Switch monitoring and keep everything that already works

"Scott is super responsive and helpful. I quickly needed an alarm system installed for my insurance and he came out same day and got us all set up. He also offered the best rate we had seen. I'm glad we decided not to go with ADT — their customer service was a nightmare."

"Scott from Kiwi Alarms is excellent! He installed four solar AI cameras plus the equipment to make them run. We downloaded the app and he showed us the full functionality. The cameras work perfect. Could not be more happy. I recommend giving Scott a call for any alarm and cameras."

"Scott was amazing from the beginning consultation. He was very thorough when installing our new security system with the camera installation, to the panel especially the z-wave thermostat. Everything was integrated and the clarity from the eufy cameras is super sharp! Highly recommend going with Scott for your home security needs."
