  1. Seek advice from friends and family

One of the best ways to find the best security company in London is through a personal referral. If you know of a family member who has hired the services of a security company and you liked the quality of services rendered by that particular company you can ask your friend to refer you to that particular company. The good thing about referrals is that you get to choose a company that you already know its work quality. However, you should be very careful with referrals because not all of them will direct you to the right company. Only follow those that you are sure will direct you to the right company.

How Do Camera Batteries Work?

Comments Disabled

Camera batteries are essential for outdoor video capture and photography, for both surveillance and general use. But just how do these sources of power work and what are the eternal functions?

Essentially, most batteries contain three basic parts. Electrodes, an electrolyte and a separator. Within every battery are two electrodes, both of which are made of conductive material.

When a battery is powering a device like a camera, a series of chemical reactions occur in the electrodes. These are collectively known as oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions. These reactions result in the flow of ions between the anode and the cathode.

However, some of the most common batteries in use today are lithium-ion batteries, these power most consumer electronic devices. These batteries typically contain a carbon anode, a cathode made of lithium cobalt dioxide and an electrolyte containing a lithium salt in an organic solvent.

Security Fence Configurations

Comments Disabled

Security fences are used in many different security infrastructures. While the overall physical structure of the fences are the same, they are often configured differently to suit the varying requirements of different sites.

Generally, fencing systems consist of panels which are placed alongside horizontal and vertical wires. Panels are hot dip galvanised followed by a coloured powder coating.

The panels and wires are placed in between posts, which span the perimeter of the security site. Posts come with holes pre drilled and tapped to accommodate the panels. This is to allow for an easier installation with minimal tools

The Posts come with brackets attached by screws which are tightened with an Allen key. The clips grab both panels in one go removing the need for a bracing wire at the top or bottom of the panel.

Gates are also constructed in a similar way and fit in conjunction with the fencing panels.

Hostile Environment Training

Comments Disabled

With the number of full-fledged and low-intensity conflicts across the world increasing both in size and number, a new course has become as essential as inoculation shots for a host of journalists, aid workers and civilian contractors preparing for deployment overseas – Hostile Environment Training.

The logic behind it is: if you would not send a soldier to a war zone unprepared; why would you send anyone else?

However, there has been a shift of late in the types of areas that would require such a preparatory course. Where before it would be essential only for work in an actual combat zone, the change in tactics employed by certain Islamist terrorist organisations like ISIS and Boko Haram towards hostage taking for financial gain and propaganda purposes means that many low-intensity conflict and even non-combat zones are rife with danger for the unprepared.

Utilising Security Glass Safely and Securely

Comments Disabled

Security glass is widely used within home and industrial security systems. It is a visually appealing and functional method of cordoning off and protecting various areas in a building. It is imperative however that the materials used are of a high quality.

Many security glass systems are of a high quality as standard. However, the combination of high quality glass and a high quality frame which holds it is what needs to be adhered to.

It is sometimes the case that whilst high quality glass is used, the frame or fixtures used to hold it are not at the same level of quality, this leads to issues of compatibility and creates vulnerabilities within the security system.

The glass can behave differently in different framing systems. So it is recommended that high performance glazing is combined with high quality framing systems to attain a high level of protection.

A high quality frame and glass is a far safer alternative to the cheaper variations. Allowing for a secure and reliable system.
