Why the price is worth knowing upfront
If you manage property in Prague from abroad, or you have just bought or rented a flat, house or office here, an alarm (EZS) inspection is one of those local requirements that rarely gets explained clearly. It is not complicated, and it is not expensive - but it is very easy to overpay when you cannot benchmark the local market. SafeBee publishes its rates so companies, embassies and private owners can plan without a site visit just to hear a number.
Initial vs. periodic inspection
An initial inspection happens once a system is newly installed or has been substantially reworked. It confirms the installation matches the design and meets the relevant standards, and it is the report most insurers and property managers ask for before a policy or lease takes effect.
A periodic inspection is the recurring check that keeps that initial approval valid - typically annual, sometimes twice a year for higher-risk premises. For what actually happens during either visit, see what to expect during an alarm inspection visit.
Inspection pricing
| Service | Price excl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Periodic inspection - flat (up to 8 zones) | CZK 1,800 |
| Periodic inspection - house / office (9-20 zones) | CZK 2,500 |
| Initial inspection - flat (up to 8 zones) | CZK 2,200 |
| Initial inspection - house / office (9-20 zones) | CZK 3,200 |
| Larger premises (21+ zones) | on request |
Prices exclude VAT. Call-out within Prague 1-6 is free; properties outside those districts may carry a small travel charge - just ask when you book.
A "flat" rate covers a typical apartment system with up to eight zones. Houses and offices with 9-20 zones move to the next band because there is simply more to test. Larger sites - multi-building offices, larger embassy premises - get a fixed quote after a short site review, not a per-zone surcharge sprung on you afterwards.
For companies and embassies booking through a facilities team, invoicing works like any other local vendor: a VAT invoice is issued on completion, and standard residential or office visits do not require payment in advance. That makes it straightforward to route through an existing procurement or expense process rather than treating it as a special case.
What gets checked
The price reflects a full functional check of the system, not a quick look at the control panel. That includes:
- Motion detectors (PIR) and magnetic contacts on doors and windows
- Internal and external sirens - sound level and response time
- Backup power supply - battery condition and hold-up time during a mains outage
- The communication module - a test alarm sent to the monitoring station (PCO) if connected
- Keypads and any wireless remote controls
- Cable runs, sabotage loops and general mechanical condition
- The event log since the previous inspection
Small issues - a low battery, a loose terminal - are usually fixed on the spot. Anything larger gets a separate quote so the inspection price stays fixed.
The report you receive
Every inspection ends with a written report confirming the system's condition, item by item, issued within 24 hours. This document is what your insurer, landlord or building manager will actually ask to see - not a verbal assurance that "the alarm works." If you are wondering why that piece of paper matters so much in the Czech market, we cover it in why Czech insurers require a valid inspection report.
