If Santa can come down the chimney… so might a burglar!

There is no better time to install a security system for your property. We’ve compiled our top tips for keeping your property secure this winter:

CCTV & Video Surveillance

Deter those naughty-listers! 

  • Installing a CCTV system is one of the easiest ways to protect your property, whether it’s your home or business.
  • Many criminals are put off if they notice that they are on camera.
  • With CCTV, you can monitor who is in and around your property, and respond quickly and efficiently to any suspicious behaviour.
  • Many CCTV systems are able to connect to your mobile device, so you can monitor your property even when you’re not there.

Building Access Control

Make a list, and check it twice!

  • Installing a Building Access Control system means only those who you have verified can enter the building.
  • Access is only granted to those with an access card, fob, or by entering a code.
  • Minimises the risk of intruders.
  • If an access card or fob is lost or stolen, the access can be revoked on the access control system, so you remain in control of the building, and unverified visitors cannot enter.
  • This increases safety for the occupants of the building, as well as preventing intrusions.

Intruder Alarms

The ultimate jingle bells. 

  • Intruder alarms detect whether an unauthorised person has entered your property.
  • Sensors detect movement and prompts a loud alarm to sound.
  • Some intruder alarm systems can directly contact the police once the alarm is triggered.
  • Intruder alarms offer an added layer of security so that you can react quickly if the alarm sounds.
  • Acts as a deterrent to potential trespassers.
  • Offers peace of mind. Many intruder alarm systems allow you to remotely monitor your property, allowing you to react efficiently should the alarm sound.
  • Some systems come with a panic alarm which you can trigger yourself.
