Ensure your security is sufficient for your home
Living in a small property has some surveillance benefits: you are able to keep a close watch on what’s going on inside and outside your home, with just a couple of CCTV cameras needed to boost your security efforts. Larger properties require more extensive safety measures, as they possess extra entry points, hiding places and blind spots, making the property more vulnerable to intrusion.
Luckily for homeowners with large houses, there are plenty of affordable, practical and discreet security solutions available – from CCTV systems, security gates and intercoms to motion-activated lights and silent alarms. As well as doing a great job of deterring a criminal from attempting to force entry to your property, these security systems offer invaluable protection if your large house is targeted.
CCTV can help you keep an eye on all areas of your property
Being able to monitor the outside area of your home with a CCTV system is an excellent way to feel safe within a large house, as you are able to contact the police immediately if you notice anything suspicious. You can either watch from inside your home in real time, or invest in cameras that only start filming when they detect motion. Combined with a ‘silent’ alarm system that alerts you (and the police) when there’s an intruder, CCTV is a great option for catching anyone who attempts to break into your property.
The most effective CCTV systems incorporate multiple cameras, placed at prime target areas of the property. Here at Angel Security, our team will conduct a thorough assessment of your house and garden to find any areas that could be used as hiding places or entry points. As most break-ins happen at night, we recommend that you invest in infra-red CCTV cameras, as you will be able to see what’s going on at all times. You could also consider installing motion-activated outdoor lights to increase night-time visibility in such areas.
Efficient home security alarms
Most large houses have multiple entrances, on top of other entry points (such as windows), and putting an alarm trigger at each of these is an effective way to protect your property. There are two main types: bells-only alarms, which sound when there’s an intrusion, and ‘silent’ alarms, which send an instant alert to you and the police. These are increasingly operated through wireless systems, and can be linked to your mobile or laptop.
