In these instances, it’s very unlikely the offenders will have been spotted and the likelihood of being caught and the goods returned very slim indeed.

Now, what if you could install an affordable security device in just a matter of minutes which could send you images of a break-in of your property in progress direct to your phone. Not only that, it will also let you hear live audio, works off it’s own power plus it’s extremely portable, so can be used in garages, caravans, boats, workshop or farm buldings as well as in the home and office buildings.

Quite impressive, eh?

This is why at CPP, we want to introduce to you, the ultimate in plug and play home security devices – The AlertPal!

The AlertPal is a complete GSM Fire and Security System and because of its portability can be used almost anywhere. It’s very easy to set up, and works from a PAYG Sim card on either O2 – ORANGE or the VODAFONE network. Simply install the 2 door or window detectors, the smoke detector, configure the AlertPal system by sending a few simple text messages to the camera and you’re good to go.

In recent months we’ve read, and heard, that our coalition government are slashing the police budget, inevitably meaning that there are going to less ‘bobbies‘ patrolling our streets. Some people may say that this is “just the world we live in” but figures from the latest crime survey state that thefts of vehicles have risen by 6% in the past year as well as a 4% rise in the theft of unattended mobile phones and purses. Can this all be the result of our failing economy as some people try to make money any way they can?

One area that has seen a massive increase over the last year is domestic burglaries which has risen by 14% in the past year. This figure is increasingly worrying to home owners who wish to protect their possessions as well as their families. For this reason, many home owners are finding the need for good home security and garden security systems. At Crime Prevention Products we offer a host of ideal security systems from anti-climb spikes for your garden wall to secure door/window locks to top of the range alarm systems.

However, no matter which type of security system you choose, make sure that all entry points of your home are covered… After all, you don’t want to give an open invitation to burglars to come in and help themselves to your belongings. Don’t leave anything to chance, that way the risk of you becoming the next burglar statistic are considerably lower.

Most theft committed is opportunistic rather than the targetted type. In an instant someone will notice a bike or some other item in your garden or yard and take the decision, there and then, to snatch it for themselves. Protecting your garden or yard with security lighting has to be one of the most effective ways of deterring opportunist thieves. Few criminals are willing to commit a crime when the area is illuminated or will have immediate second thoughts about their actions when their unwanted presence triggers the sensor and their suddenly awash in illuminating light.

However, if may be that you’re in bed or out for the night and don’t notice the security lighting going on. This is when the IllumiCam Security Floodlight with Hidden Camera and Audible Warning comes into its own. Not only does the IllumiCam, illuminate your garden or yard, but once it is triggered it can then record a high quality 20 second video from its 2 mega pixel camera or even take a series of still photographs. Both the captured video and images will be time and date stamped.

There is also the option to set the IllumiCam to give out a loud audible warning as well. For example “You Are Trespassing” or “Warning! You Are Being Videotaped By A Security Camera”. You can even set the warning to the sound of a dog barking or just set it up to run in silent mode without any audio.

This summer, don’t let anyone spoil your fun in the sun, protect your home and garden.

There are several home security devices on the market that can be used to protect your house, family and personal belongings. Burglar alarms that will alert you, your neighbours and the authorities that someone is attempting to enter your property. Door wedges for added internal protection and door viewers that allow you to inspect anyone without opening the door to them. There are even CCTV cameras that will record 24 hours a day, in high definition giving you a perfect picture of any likely intruder.

However, one of the best security devices has to be Driveway Alarms… These state-of-the-art alarm systems have plenty of advantages over normal systems.

When it comes to home security and protection, a wireless burglar alarm has to be one of the best defences against theft for you to consider installing in your home, garage or even garden shed. This is due to it’s ability to send and receive radio frequency waves anywhere within a given area. When these waves are disturbed by motion they’ll instantly communicate with the master control unit thus activating the alarm sensors.

Even though burglar alarms have been around for many years they often had to be fitted previously by proper engineers and had cables linking the control unit with the sensors. More recently, however, due to advances in technology, wireless burglar alarms can be fitted by anyone with a little DIY knowledge.

Wireless Burglar Alarms have several advantages over the traditional hard wired alarm systems such as:

• Easy to install.
• Unlike hard-wired security systems, you do not have to be concerned about hiding the unsightly wires.
• Able to reposition your passive infrared detectors (PIR) to any room without the hassle of channeling wires and then redecorating.
• If you decide that you wish to relocate then moving your alarm system can be done without the need to contact professional alarm fitters.

Here at Crime Prevention Products we stock a variety of wireless burglar alarms which will fit into any home, office, garage or garden shed alarms ensuring your possessions don’t end up on a burglars shopping list.
