Streaming your CCTV footage

Comments Disabled

Most affordable home CCTV systems give you the option to download an app for your mobile and watch footage live.

It’s a neat feature really because you can watch your home whilst you’re at work, or in a completely different country. If yours has night vision, you’ll get a clear picture in the middle of the night too. Of course in most cases, if you have functioning CCTV cameras burglars will spot them and they won’t be too keen on entering your property anyways, but you can never be too safe, and by watching your footage as it comes in, you can keep a good eye on potential intruders, and it allows you to always stay one step ahead should something big go down whilst you’re away. Usually, the manual will tell you what app you need to download, and you then simply enter a pin code to pick up your cameras and you’re away. It’s that easy.

Using The Right Camera Casing For The Right Area

Comments Disabled

Most security cameras are fitted with replaceable casings. These casings are what protect the delicate electronics inside a security camera from outside hazards, so making sure a camera has a casing that is strong enough for the area it’s in is crucial.

A strong casing will improve the durability and longevity of a security camera, but only if it is strong enough. Depending on where a camera is situated, it will be exposed to certain hazards and conditions. For example a camera that is positioned high enough will be vulnerable to heavier wind and rain than a camera that is closer to the ground.

Other hazards that will determine what type of casing to use on a security camera include; proximity to thrown projectiles, near by electrical hazards, radio interference and extreme heat and cold. Standard security cameras are rarely fitted with a casing that will stand up to every possible outdoor hazard. It often requires extra monetary investment to get the right case for the right area.

Using GPS Tracking With Security Systems

Comments Disabled

It’s not uncommon for a security system to make use of GPS tracking to help ensure the security of an item. It can be a very valuable tool, especially when tracking the location of stolen goods or vehicles.

GPS (Global Positioning System) is used to track the location of something anywhere on the Earth, 24 hours a day, in all weather conditions. Because of these features, a GPS enabled security system is more suited to safeguarding items that have the potential of being moved to a different location. Examples of this include cars, bikes and expensive items like jewellery and watches.

GPS security systems are also useful for tracking the movement of an item but within a designated range. In some instances, an item may be moved around regularly, so the security system allows for this. But it may be undesirable for the item to exceed certain ranges, if this happens the security system will then trigger, alerting of the unwanted movement.

Anti-Climb Security Measures For Garden Walls

Comments Disabled

A common place that intruders gain access to a home is over a wall or fence. While it’s difficult to stop intruders from climbing a garden wall or fence, especially if they come prepared, a strong deterrence is the addition of anti-climb security measures.

Anti-climb measures can take many forms. From defensive shrubs and trees placed next to a wall, to extended battens attached to the top of a fence. But with so many options, choosing the right one can be tricky.

The key is choosing the right security measure that will suit your wall or fence specifically. This means analysing where potential break-ins could occur and choosing a security feature that will work well with the other features near by. For example, if you already have a strong fence, then extending it will be much more secure. However if that fence is quite weak in its construction, then a completely new fence will be a better option.
