Why Your Canopy Setup Needs an Alarm (And Why Most Don’t Have One)
Canopies are one of the most popular upgrades for tradies, 4WDers, and touring setups. But while people spend thousands on drawers, dual batteries, lighting and accessories — there's one thing often left out: an alarm system.
At Refined Auto Electrical, we install custom car and canopy alarm systems across Sunbury, Tullamarine, Thomastown, and Melbourne's north and west — and we come to you.
The Problem: Great Setup, No Security
Whether you’re parked at a job site or a remote campsite, your canopy usually contains thousands of dollars’ worth of tools, fridges, batteries, lighting, or gear.
Most canopy setups are not protected by your car’s factory alarm system — especially if they’ve been installed after-market.
We’ve seen it time and time again:
Impressive 12V setups, toolboxes and drawers — with no security at all.
Our Solution: Canopy & Vehicle Alarm Integration
We supply and install alarm systems that are:
Designed to protect your whole vehicle, not just the cab
Integrated with door and canopy triggers
Able to detect when canopy doors or toolboxes are opened
Custom-wired to suit your 4WD, ute or work vehicle
Optional extras like shock sensors, immobilisers, and GPS tracking
Whether you’ve already had your canopy fitted, or you’re planning a build, we can design a system to protect your setup from theft — and we’ll install it on-site.
Who It’s For
We recommend alarm installs for:
Tradies with valuable tools and equipment
4WDers who leave gear in their canopy overnight
Fleet and commercial vehicles carrying inventory
Anyone with aftermarket canopy or tray setups
Even if your ute has central locking, it’s not always connected to your canopy. We make sure everything’s protected.
