A professionally installed security system can bring many benefits to your home.
With one of our monitored alarms you can enjoy peace of mind 24 hours a day,
365 days a year. Our expertly installed and maintained systems will help deter
‘would be thieves’ and alleviate the stress of worrying about your
home while you work, during holidays and even while you sleep.
At work a security system will aid in ensuring that your stock, valuable data
and equipment is adequately protected. Insurance does not cover the aggravation
of being burgled or loss of time should trading be interrupted through crime
against your premises.
“One of the most feared crimes is burglary. The
threat of being a victim of crime in the home is bad enough, but to be subjected
to crime a second or even more times increases the fear of the victim and other
householders in the area.”
One study shows that once a house has been burgled the chance of repeat victimisation
was four times the rate of houses that had not been burgled before. Make a burglar
think twice; don’t give him an easy ride.
Many homes are more prone to burglary as they have access points which are sheltered
from public view; for example, a back door in a garden. You may have valuable
jewellery or TV and Hi-fi equipment in a particular room. You may live in a shared
apartment complex where breaches in access can occur or you may be worried about
the crime rate in your area. Whatever your situation our consultants will help
you choose the optimal security system that suits your requirements.
"Criminals pick a house that looks unoccupied,
has little or no obvious security and where they think they won't be seen."
Simply having a professional alarm box present on your property will reduce the
chance of it being targeted. If a break in occurs an intruder alarm will significantly
reduce the amount of time a burglar is in your premises. An intruder alarm system
can also tell you if a burglary was attempted and which area of the property
was infiltrated.
A Security First (UK) intruder alarm system may also increase the value of your
home as well as reducing your contents insurance premium. If you have items of
high value in your property you may be required by your insurance company to
protect them with a professionally fitted intruder alarm system.
