Romanus is a Sydney-based provider of complete home security systems. We sell wireless alarm kits, indoor cameras, and video doorbells that work together in one app. No monthly fees required.
No. Every Romanus product is wireless and battery-powered. The main siren plugs into a standard power outlet. Sensors use adhesive tape or simple screws (included).
The siren has a battery backup. Your door/window sensors and motion sensors run on batteries and continue working. The indoor camera requires power to function.
Your system continues to work locally. Sensors still trigger the siren. With the AS-H02TU kit, 4G cellular backup keeps you connected if you add a SIM card. Without 4G, you'll get alerts when internet returns.
Yes. All sensors can be mounted with strong adhesive tape (included). No holes required. Remove them when you move out.
Most customers are up and running in 20-30 minutes. Plug in the siren, download the app, pair each sensor, and stick them in place.
No. The system is 100% wireless except for the siren (plugs into a power outlet) and the indoor camera (plugs into USB power). Sensors and doorbell run on batteries.
The doorbell comes with a mounting bracket. Use screws (included) or strong adhesive tape (not included but works on smooth surfaces). No existing doorbell wiring needed.
The doorbell uses two 18650 rechargeable batteries (included). With average use (5-10 events per day), expect 3-6 months between charges. The app alerts you when batteries run low.
Door/window sensors and PIR motion sensors last approximately 2 years with normal use. The app alerts you when batteries need replacement.
Most customers install themselves in under an hour. If you prefer professional installation, we offer Sydney metro installation for $199. Our technician will mount everything, pair all devices, and walk you through the app.
No. Romanus works fully without any subscription. Alerts are free forever. Video can be stored locally on an SD card (not included) with no recurring cost.
If you want video history without managing an SD card, we offer cloud plans starting at $4.99/month for 7-day storage or $9.99/month for 30-day storage. No contract. Cancel anytime.
Tuya's cloud infrastructure uses data centers in Singapore with acceleration nodes in Sydney. Your video stays in the Asia-Pacific region.
