There are a variety of different alarm types with the most common and basic alarm system consisting of an outside siren and strobe light covered by a weatherproof box, with an indoor control panel, infra-red movement detectors that are situated around the house and sometimes near doors and windows. For the everyday skilled DIY lover, this basic alarm system can be installed by yourself and can be found at local hardware stores across the UK.
The popularity of DIY fitting burglar alarms stems from the widespread availability of wireless systems that are easier to fit and require little drilling and cable routing. Basic alarm systems use a siren that when detecting burglars makes a sound to alert and grab the attention of neighbours. When installing an alarm system, it is important to be fitted to the British Standard Specification BS 4737 and are all that should be necessary to protect private property. However, depending on the location of your property, your contents or even yourself- for instance is you are a millionaire or a notable reality star, this basic system may not be the best protection to keep you safe!
If you require more protection, then a fully monitored alarm system with police response may be the best option for you. This complex alarm system features an auto-dialler system which will ring pre-programmed numbers of keyholders or a neighbour, when activated, to inform them of an intruder at your property.
Installing a CCTV camera system has many benefits that can not only protect your home but businesses too. With shops subjected to frequent vandalism and petty thefts, CCTV has a proven record to reduce shoplifting and in turn limit the losses shop owners face. Employees in customer facing environments are often left open to verbal and physical attacks however installing CCTV can protect and sometimes prevent abuse towards employees. CCTV can also be useful for documenting video and images that may be needed in legal cases as a valid piece of evidence.
If you are looking for a cost-effective method of 24/7 protection for your home or business, then a CCTV system may be the best option to go for. Installing a CCTV system adds constant surveillance to your property which can help deter thieves and criminals whilst also capturing important footage which may be needed for insurance purposes or criminal prosecutions. To make sure that you get the best service, it is imperative that you conduct research into the different CCTV alarm installers before choosing the one that is right for you. We all like a bargain but it is important to remember that when installing a comprehensive CCTV alarm system, that the cheapest option may not offer the highest level of protection that you need.
To get the best CCTV system for your business, it is advised that you spend a little more on security. When selecting a CCTV company, in addition to installation costs and the system price, it is important to consider the level of expertise and support they can offer for your business. The expertise offered can help business owners understand how many cameras will be needed, the position of the surveillance cameras and any additional features that will provide the best security for their business. It is preferable to select a company that can conduct a preliminary survey to find the most effective positions for cameras to offer thorough security.
Along with choosing the right CCTV company, selecting the best method of storing CCTV footage needs to be carefully considered before installation. The first option is a digital video recorder system which offers continuous, high-quality footage that is stored to be played back at any time. In recent times there are also modern systems that have remote viewing options from your phone via apps or online using IP cameras with a unique web address that allows you to view the footage in real-time.
