Reinforcing The Patio Door, How And Why It’s Important

Comments Disabled

Many criminals gain entry through the patio door, so it makes sense to re-enforce the security in this area of the home. This can easily be done with the use of a multi-locking system. A multi-locking system allows a door to be locked at multiple points into the door frame, making it a much stronger seal than that of a standard lock.

However, not all patio doors can be fitted with a locking system like this. If this is the case, it’s recommended that extra locks are fitted. These are fitted on the bottom fixed frame pushing through to the sliding frame in the centre and on the side frame at the opening point no lower than a third of the way from the top of the door. Most such locks are push to lock and key to open and are therefore easy to use. Make sure there is enough frame to fit them on if drilling is required. If in doubt, consult the installer or manufacturer.

Financing Business Security Systems

Comments Disabled

Many businesses demand a high quality security system as a standard for regular business operation. Because of its necessity, there are many ways in which a security system can be financed, through traditional finance lease agreement, or a hire purchase or an off balance sheet operating lease if required.

A tailored finance solution for all security systems allows for them to be installed straight away with no capital outlay and spread the cost over a pre-determined period.

This allows for security systems to be custom made for a specific purpose. The supplier or brand can be chosen ahead of time and the best deal for the equipment can be negotiated before it is put onto on a finance agreement

If you want to arrange a loan, lease, hire purchase or rental agreement for a ,security system, burglar alarm, access control system or associated equipment talk to a professional security systems financer to get the best deal.

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.

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.
