Protecting Your Purchases

Filed under: CCTV — admin @ 2:56 pm

Just because you live in a well respected area don’t think you’ll never become a victim of crime! You may be very lucky and never have to experience the thought of someone invading or attempting to invade your personal space. But that doesn’t mean you don’t consider home security to help protect yourself from the threat of crime. There are many residents across the country that are now wishing they had invested in even the simplest of deterrents.

As people purchase quality hi-tech goods for their homes they really need to use the best means of protection available. Many residents are now opting for CCTV cameras to watch over their prized possessions and the Professional Wireless CCTV Camera System is one of the best on the market. As we all know thieves will often ‘case’ a property (or street) looking for their next hit, however if your property has a visible CCTV camera situated on the corner of your house this is often enough to deter any opportunistic thief from entering your property.

If they do enter your property, remember, the high quality colour pictures from your CCTV Camera will ensure that the Police have that perfect ‘Mug Shot’.

Overcoming Grainy CCTV Images

Filed under: CCTV — admin @ 1:08 pm

Everyday we watch the news or read the papers and hear stories of people being robbed, cars being stolen, anti-social behaviour and opportunistic theft all of which can drive home the message that the world is not a fluffy place, some might have us believe. That’s why having good home security is not just essential it’s a must.

People are now realising that having a simple alarm may not be enough. Instead, they are now looking for more sophisticated pieces of equipment, to help compliment their existing alarm systems. The importance of a good quality CCTV Camera keeping an eye over your premises or parked vehicle can never really be put in doubt. Capturing an offender from a grainy piece of CCTV footage is highly challenging for the Police and frustrating for the home or office owner who has been robbed.

The Professional Wireless CCTV Camera System is the ideal system for watching over your home or office whether you are in or out. Simply plug it into a TV or a monitor and you can keep an eye on your property. As there are no wires to this system it does not need a professional installer therefore ideal for the DIY enthusiast

Spring Into Window Security

Filed under: Security Locks — admin @ 2:36 pm

Spring brings the onset of warmer weather and if your an avid gardener then this is the time to be in the garden or shed pottering away and enjoying ‘elevenses’, sitting at the front or back door, chatting to friends and neighbours. Getting outside again after being cooped up after a rotten winter is great, till you walk back into your house and find that someone has opened your ‘slightly’ ajar window and helped themselves to your purse, wallet or car keys.

Opportunistic thieves love this time of the year, much like the rest of us. Thieves simply walk down any street, like a shopper in a supermarket aisle, selecting and taking what they want, when they want. Wallets, purses, car keys will suddenly sprout legs and simply hop out and disappear through your slightly open window. Most criminals will access your home via two main entry points : doors or windows.

There is a simple and inexpensive way to protect your property, the Glass Guard Window Alarm will detect any vibration then sound off an impressive 130 Db alarm alerting you that someone is trying to tamper with your windows.

Remember, Spring is all about rebirth, life, growth and change. Let’s start changing the way we protect our property and valuables. Don’t give thief’s a window of opportunity in your neighbourhood.

Safe Training

Filed under: Personal Alarms — admin @ 11:15 am

By the end of this month the clocks in Britain will be put forward by one hour, thus indicating the imminent arrival of summer and therefore prompting many of us to think about their annual get-away. Warm weather and holidays are an important way for most people to relax, enabling the stress of the years work to simply wash away and be forgotten (well, for one or two weeks anyway).

However, there is a downside to booking our annual get-a-way, many men and women will be saying the same thing “I can’t go on holiday looking like this, I’ll need to lose a few pounds” and so, trips to the gym or down to the local park become regular occurences.

Parks are great for walks, running and general training. However, danger may could be lurking behind any tree, bush or dark area. Muggers, thieves, robbers, call them what you like but they know that at this time of the year people try to lose weight and, as many will be walking with i-pods, disc players or mobile phones they see these people as easy pickings.

Women that exercise on their own are especially at risk! That’s why no woman should leave their home without a Chaperone® ‘Baysik’ Personal Rape Alarm, this small but powerful rape alarm will deter anyone that tries to attack you, by sounding off a powerful 130+dB alarm giving you precious time to react and get away.

Keeping Them Safe When Their Home Alone

Filed under: Personal Safety — admin @ 6:17 pm

Today’s blog entry is aimed at those readers who are parents and understands full well when there will be times in your life when you have to work late, or are held up arriving home and you have kids home alone or are dependent on other people to look after them.

With more parents now seeking employment the above scenario can cause somewhat of an argument in many households, as we all know teenagers will not want to be “babysitted” by a child minder. Teenage cries of “I can look after myself” are pretty commonplace, but are they really ready for that responsibility and how can you be sure that they will not injure themselves or worse : other members of the family?

Filed under: Personal Safety — admin @ 1:36 pm

We are already into the third month of the year and for many this means time to start planning the annual get away. Whether its relaxing on a the beach through a package holiday, backpacking through exotic countries or having a traditional British break, one thing is for sure, personal security and protection should never be overlooked.

With an estimated 60million people leaving their homes for a relaxing break this year, what can be done to protect their health and possessions? Opportunistic theft has no geographic boundaries so no matter the accommodation – hotel, chalet, or tent if the chance of theft arises, it will be taken.

Keeping Home Security Simple

Filed under: Home Security — admin @ 11:45 am

Over the last few years, we have all gone through some tough times, people have found they have less money to spend, they may have been (or still are) worrying about job security or even worse, work closures -but as they say “life goes on” and we have to adapt to each and every situation life throws at us.

With less money around, we tend to reassess what is important and home security may be one area in which people are sacrificing. If for any reason you find yourself cutting back there are several tips you can use instead of purchasing that top of the range house alarm. Home security does not have to be a very expensive operation, using your common sense will save that feeling of violation and heartache.

We all say it, “it will never happen to me” and “in my day we could leave our doors open all day and night“, well this is the 21st century and unfortunately it does happen! So, it’s up to you to protect your family and possessions, the best way you can.

Here are a few basic measures which you can adopt to help prevent any opportunistic thief from trying to take anything from your home:

  • One of the biggest mistakes is when people go out their back door to chat to a neighbour – they leave their front door unlocked – anyone can simply walk in and help themselves. Remember to lock all doors at all times even when your only going up the stairs.
  • Outdoor lighting is a great way to illuminate your outside at night, PIR sensors will activate when someone approaches your premisses.
  • As the weather heats up, you often leave your windows open, easy access for someone’s arm to simply reach in and take your wallet, rings, watch or car keys. Don’t leave valuable items near open windows or even in full view.

These are only a few precautions which can be taken to stop an opportunistic thief from simply walking away with your goods or money.
