Burglar Alarms and CCTV Norfolk

Here is just a reminder of a few of the things I can install to help improve your home security:

Firstly there is CCTV; From small single camera units to large scale installations, these really can fit most budgets giving HD quality recording as evidence should your home be broken into. These systems are now installed with wireless technology, so disruption is kept to a minimum, and more time can be devoted to ensuring you are happy with the operation of the kit before I leave. It also means that should you want to install extra cameras at a later date, this can be done easily as well, allowing you to spread the cost making sure you are fully protected. CCTV Norfolk from AC Locksmiths is fully Insurance and Police endorsed.

Next are our tailor made Burglar Alarms; Again, these use wireless technology and can be as large or as small as you like with the ability to add more later. The motion detectors can allow your pets to roam freely without setting them off, whilst being triggered by larger, human sized intruders. What’s more, should the motion sensor be triggered, a message can be sent to your mobile phone allowing you to either return home and investigate or arrange for a neighbour to take a quick look. A bespoke alarm system to suit your budget. Burglar alarms Norfolk.

Now, how about a simple device to deter the con-men? This is a spy hole that has a screen on the inside of the door. With a standard spy hole, you have to put your eye right up to the hole to see what is on the outside. In doing this, you block off the light and anyone on the outside knows you are there. With the screen, a camera looks for you which can see better at night time and allows you to check who is there without being seen yourself. It can also take a picture of your visitor, so if it someone you do not know, you can capture their image, and should they attempt to con you, you can then take your story along with the image along to the police station and make them aware. These devices are especially great for the more vulnerable in our community.

While I do not break into safes, I can provide safes of all sizes and fire ratings, from small lap top size safes to large ones that are great for shops, etc. Key safes for holiday homes or for those who rely on carers can also be supplied.

Burglar Alarm Systems

After my last blog, I have had a re-education about alarm systems: – Modern technology has advanced alarm systems a huge amount. In my previous blog I referred to my experiences of alarms going off and being ignored, however, I came across an article for locksmiths discussing burglar alarms and security. In the article they looked at wireless alarm systems that were linked up to mobile phones, so that, should an alarm go off at your property whilst you are not there, you are notified immediately, and you, or a key holder, can investigate what is going on and deal with it accordingly. The alarm system, therefore does not rely on attracting the attention of those in the immediate vicinity, but on notifying the people with the vested interest in the property.

Alarm systems can be a great deterrent to the opportunist thief and it is only apathy of some of the general public that ever lets them down.  Whilst I can recall instances of times no-one has taken notice of the alarm, I cannot say how many times a potential burglar has looked at a property and upon seeing it has an alarm fitted, decided to try elsewhere, perhaps for an easier target.

So, whether it be the correct locks, alarm, CCTV, bright lights or any of our other security products, you can now rely on AC Locksmiths to put up the best defences against unwanted intruders to your home. Consultations are entirely free (although the cuppa is always graciously accepted) and there is never any hard sell.
