Keeping your home secure is essential to your wellbeing; the wellbeing of your family and it will keep your insurance company very happy. Sadly break ins, vandalism and accidents do occur from time to time, so ensuring your home is secure at all times can save you a lot of money in the long run.
Alarm Systems
One of the best security features for any home is an alarm system; these systems have sensors which are strategically placed around the home in access areas, capturing movement. The sensors are also placed on doors and windows that open, should one of these open while the alarm is set, it will go off alerting neighbours that there is a problem.
Most alarm systems these days can be linked to a security company. You pay the company a monthly fee and often they arrive before the police when the alarm is sounded, they check the property to ensure all is ok and advise you accordingly. This is handy if you are away on holiday or at work and have a distance to drive before getting home.
CCTV Cameras
CCTV cameras have grown in popularity as a security feature for homes. These cameras are placed around the outside of the home capturing video throughout the day and night; they can be useful in the event of a break in, helping the police identify the thieves.
CCTV cameras can also offer security when husbands work away regularly or late into the night, leaving the family alone at home. When the doorbell rings, the wife can check the cameras to see who is knocking before answering the door, just adding that little bit extra security to give you peace of mind.
Panic Buttons
Most alarm systems come with a panic button located on the keypad, but is this useful when someone breaks into the home leaving your family stuck upstairs with no way to notify anyone of the robbery in progress.
Of course you have a mobile phone, but when you are at home you don?t carry it everywhere with you, so having a couple of panic buttons around the home can make a huge difference. Often when at home you don?t set the alarm until going to bed, most of the time the alarm is used while you are out.
The panic button can be sounded alerting neighbours but also causing the robbers to run for their lives, definitely a security feature you should have in your home.
Take Control
There are loads of great home security features these days from impenetrable locks to security glass, burglar bars to security gates, though you don?t want your beautiful home looking like a prison. Take control of your security before anything happens to save yourself money in the long run.
A break in can cost a fair amount in excess when forced to claim on your insurance policy, rather be safe than sorry and take your security into your own hands at all times. This may include advising neighbours when you are going out of town and getting them to keep an eye on the place to ensure nothing happens.
You may also want to place some timer switches onto lamps in the home, getting them to switch on when it gets dark and switch off later in the night so it looks like someone is at home, deterring robbers and keeping your home safe.
Sometimes robberies, vandalism and accidents cannot be avoided, a baseball through a glass pane or an object hitting a glass door can cause the glass to smash, luckily most glass is glazed and doesn?t splinter, but will need to be repaired quickly and effectively to keep the home as secure as possible.
London Glaziers are specialists in glass and glazing and understand the importance of having your glass replaced immediately to avoid a security breach in your home.
