Home security - Protect your house with burglar alarms or a CCTV system

It's a sound we all dread, that unexplained bump in the night that wakes us from our sleep. Was it the wind causing a door to bang shut? The central heating rumbling? Or was it just your imagination? Of course, the worst possible explanation is that somebody has either broken into your home, or they are attempting to do so.

Unfortunately, most people don't think about home security until they've already suffered a break in, but there are many easy and inexpensive ways to deter thieves and make your home a safer place.

CCTV security cameras

Before you install one of our home CCTV security cameras or CCTV systems, you can do a lot to make your home burglar proof just by carrying out a survey of your property. Most of us tend to take our home for granted as it is so familiar to us, but try and look at it as a potential thief would. Do you leave your garage door open while you are inside the house? Do you store unlocked ladders in the garden? These are two common occurrences which make life a lot easier for somebody who has designs on stealing your property. Look at every aspect of your home security from an outsider's point of view and look for weaknesses that might tempt a criminal.

Some of the best deterrents for thieves are found on the exterior of your home. Start by evaluating your garden. Make it easier for neighbours to see what is happening when you are not at home by cutting back on high hedges and shrubbery which can provide the perfect cover for a burglar. You might also consider installing CCTV security cameras to make them think twice about breaking in.

Burglar alarms

Burglar alarms are the obvious solution to keeping thieves out of your property, but another easy way to deter them is to install security lighting outside with CCTV security cameras. Make sure all possible entry points are well lit. High-pressure sodium lights and mercury vapour lights are economical and illuminate a larger area than regular incandescent lights. You might also consider motion trigger lights that turn on when they sense movement. All of these points, when combined with the use of burglar alarms, should give you peace of mind. Once you have reassured yourself that there are no easy options left for the potential thief, you can then consider what other aspects of home security you can use to make sure that the only people entering your house are invited!

ADT alarms

SecurityCAM can offer many home security solutions, and a popular choice for many are ADT alarms. The way they work is both simple and effective. When your ADT alarm is set, sensors installed around your premises at high-vulnerability areas are constantly monitoring movement, or activity. If for any reason any sensor is triggered - for example, by someone passing a motion sensor - your ADT alarm system sends a signal via your phone line to ADT's Alarm Receiving Centre, or ARC. ADT will pickup the signal and call you and/or your nominated keyholders on your behalf. If it is a confirmed alarm (that is two independent sensors going of within 45 minutes of each other), ADT will call the police on your behalf. And it's not just a matter of warning the authorities about potential burglars. If your smoke sensor is activated, ADT will call your local fire service on your behalf.

If you are looking to improve your home security, if you want to find out more about burglar alarms or CCTV security cameras, or you need to upgrade your CCTV system, all you have to do is get in touch with SecurityCAM and one of our friendly staff will be able to advise you.
