At about 1552 people per square kilometre, Bayswater has large blocks where a monitored system earns its keep, because a siren nobody is close enough to hear does very little on its own. Bayswater is about 28 kilometres from the CBD. Larger newer homes out here need more zones than the standard kit provides, and it is better to size that correctly up front.
Bayswater is in Knox. Councils do not approve domestic alarms, but they do regulate noise, and an external siren that runs on and on is a nuisance complaint waiting to happen. We set the cut-off correctly. Bayswater North, Boronia and Bayswater are close enough together that we treat them as one run rather than three separate jobs.
For scale, the 2021 census counted 12262 people in Bayswater, across about 7.9 square kilometres of Knox, postcode 3153. Bayswater North, Boronia, Heathmont and Wantirna and Bayswater form one continuous area for us rather than a list of separate suburbs.
At roughly 2.6 kilometres north-west of Boronia, Bayswater is inside the area we cover every week rather than on its edge.
