Who We AreAbout Selecom
Founder-led, certified, and built by people who still do the work — now backed by a partner network that takes the same standard Australia-wide.
Built by installers, not a call centre
Trevor Gardiner founded Selecom Pty Ltd in October 2011, bringing over 30 years in the security industry to the business from day one. Mark Schenko joined shortly after, and together they built the certified team that has serviced homes and businesses across Sydney ever since.
Selecom grew the way a trade business should — on referrals. Clients who had an alarm installed came back for CCTV. The people who managed a single site asked us to look after their next five. That's the work that built the partner network: rather than turn down a job because it was in Perth or Brisbane, we found and vetted technicians we'd trust to meet our own standard, and gave them Selecom's backing.
How we work
Every job starts with an on-site assessment — no system gets recommended sight unseen. From there, our own certified technicians or an accredited partner handle the install, and Selecom stays the single point of contact from quote through to ongoing monitoring and support.
We're licensed, insured, and we don't subcontract out the parts of the job that matter without oversight. If something needs fixing after the fact, you call the same number you called to book it.
