KEEP YOUR HOME SAFE FROM INTRUDERS
DETERRING INTRUDERS
- Secure the Perimeter
- An electric fence can be an excellent deterrent.
- Make sure your perimeter is also visible, for this a CCTV camera system is very effective.
- There are smart Technologies available that allow you to monitor your perimeter and home from remote locations.
- The Gate
- Deter burglars from lifting the gate. You can do so by attaching anti lift brackets.
- Welding a flat bar onto the rack of the sliding rails will prevent burglars from forcing the gate off the rails.
- Install a good gate motor. There are various smart motors available that allow monitoring of the gate via an app.
- Use modern remotes that don’t allow copying on settings to be changed.
- Outdoor Beams
- Essentially, outdoor beams are sensors that can detect motion.
- Outdoor Beams can be pricey, but if placed strategically in your yard, they can be very effective at deterring burglars. Especially if linked to an alarm system.
- Alarm System
- A standard alarm system usually includes door and window sensors, motion detectors should be included too. The Alarm system can be linked to a reaction company, or a monitoring system. These systems are fairly easy to use.
- An automated home system will allow you access to your security system through a smart phone or computer app.
