Mock CCTV
One of the highest deterring factors when it comes to preventing burglaries is that of a monitored alarm system. Which is what we would recommend to anyone. However, we also understand that installing an extensive monitored alarm system at home may not be financially possible.
This is the reason why a skilled locksmith would also recommend mock CCTV security systems, or perhaps a mixture, where the highest risk areas are covered by real surveillance whilst realistic chassis of a camera can be placed where appropriate.
Perhaps where there is less risk, but a slight need for some extra security. Should you have any questions or need any advice with regards to your home surveillance options, please feel free to get in touch with us and book in for a security inspection at a time suiting to you.
What’s the Difference Between Wired and Wireless Security Alarms?
There are a few differences between wireless and wired alarm systems. A hardwired system will be superior to a wireless system in terms of stability. Therefore, it will provide more solid security which is not as easily taken out by external factors.
Wired and wireless security alarms also differ when it comes to installation. Wired alarms are most commonly installed by a professional. The reason for this is the intricate process involved.
Some alarms also require special tools to ensure security for boxes or features which can be reached from the outside from being dismantled. Have a 24 hour security system installed.
Due to their robust nature, wired systems after installation tend to work effectively for years and years after installation. Whilst wireless systems more often than not require more regular maintenance.
