Home security systems are continuously improving: advances in technology are enabling security providers to install more intelligent, accurate and convenient solutions than ever before. This means that, with the right advice, you can make your home completely safe. Simple solutions, such as CCTV and burglar alarms, are now available with a range of cleverly designed features to boost their effectiveness. Both systems are excellent in their own right, but used together they can offer unbeatable protection for your home.
Intelligent solutions to keep you and your family safe
CCTV enables you to monitor your property (remotely or from inside) and alert the police if you notice anything suspicious. A visible CCTV system is in itself an effective deterrent for opportunistic criminals, but cameras can now help with a wide range of issues. Well-placed infrared cameras, for example, can allow you to see into dark hiding places and blind spots around your house. Motion-activated cameras help you pinpoint the exact data you need, rather than having to trawl through hours of unhelpful footage.
The same goes for burglar alarms: while the sight of a basic alarm system will cause an intruder to think twice about breaking into your home, there are lots of solutions you should consider before choosing your alarm. A ‘silent’ alarm is able to alert you (and a central monitoring system that will then contact the police) if someone tries to get in. This means that, if your alarm has gone off by mistake, it won’t disturb your neighbours. Silent alarms work perfectly with CCTV, helping you catch the criminal in the act.
Integrating your CCTV and burglar alarm systems
If you don’t feel completely safe with a CCTV system, you might want to think about installing a burglar alarm as well. By placing bells-only or silent alarm triggers at every entry point, and having discreet cameras covering the same spots, you will be able to provide the police with concrete data should a break-in occur.
