Your home is a place to rest, relax and restore, and so feeling safe there is one of the most essential things for any homeowner. One of the best ways to ensure that you feel safe is to install a home security system. However, choosing the right type for your circumstances can be a challenge, so we have shared the different types of security devices ready for you to make an informed choice.

CCTV

CCTV is a well-known security choice across the country, with many owners choosing to install it in the home and business properties to deter would-be burglars and provide camera access to the property at all times. There is a range of different CCTV systems available on the market, including:

●        Thermal/Infrared CCTV

●        Hidden/Discreet CCTV

●        Networked CCTV

●        Indoor/Outdoor Dome CCTV

●        C-mount CCTV

●        Bullet Camera CCTV

●        And many more

Homeowners may want a dome camera that makes it hard for someone to know where the camera is recording, whereas a business may want a camera that can read number plates. When it comes to working out the type of camera you need, it is wise to consult with a security expert who can find out what you need and then suggest a system that can provide it for you.

House Alarms

Installing a house alarm is a great way to keep your home safe, but you must choose the system that provides you with the best level of cover. You can typically choose between a wired and wireless system and a monitored and unmonitored system.

With a wired system, your security will depend on electrical wires remaining intact during a burglary. A wireless system depends on batteries and will provide you with sensors that will trigger an alarm should your property get broken into.

An unmonitored alarm system only alerts people in the local area and can be misconstrued as a false alarm or a faulty system. A monitored alarm links directly to either the emergency services or a private security firm who will contact the key holder and alert the authorities if there is an intruder onsite.

Access Control

To add another layer of security, you can also consider an access control system. This helps to provide access to people that should enter and stop unauthorised people from coming in. These systems can be key safes, fobs, intercom systems or even using biometric data to let someone in.

You simply choose the system that works best for your needs and then ensure that you regularly change the codes and maintain the system so that it remains safe and secure at all times.
