Holiday Security
If you are going away on holiday there’s more risks for home so it’s best to play safe.
Crack down on crime with an alarm system
Do not draw attention to the house being empty.
Burglars look for milk bottles on the doorstep, newspapers and mail in the letter box,houses in darkness and closed windows in very hot weather.
You should make it look as if your house is occupied.
You can install timers which switch lights on and off automatically.
Be a good neighbour. Check on each other’s houses when you’re away.
Collect your neighbour’s post and even park your car on their drive when they’re holidaying.
The best chance we have of cracking down on burglary is to take preventative action.
By doing anything that forces the burglar to take more time to commit the crime, make more noise or make him look more conspicuous as he is committing the crime.
We all need a security system, so that we have less chance of being a victim of robbery or burglary.
SAFETY BLOG
Home and business safety
If you need home or business safety advice this is the blog to read and the company to help you, we know most statistics and facts on the best safety systems and technics for installations the team are helpful friendly and dedicated to help people protect their home and business, we do free site surveys and we try to give same day quotations, are alarm fees are average and are alarms are of a very high quality.
The metropolitan police stated in their online safety booklet:
Alarms are undoubtedly the most effective deterrent against burglary.
To maximise the deterrent, place external active burglar alarm bell Boxes (with flashing lights and Sounders) at the front and back of the property. Police recommend an installer who is affiliated to an inspectorate, the National Security Inspectorate (NSI)
Burglaries at homes in England and Wales increased by 14% in 2010-11 compared with the previous year, the British Crime Survey (BCS) suggests.
The survey of 45,000 households also indicated overall crime levels were up slightly, though researchers said this was not “statistically significant”.
British crime survey 2011
Simon Reed, vice-chairman of the Police Federation of England and Wales, said: “Today’s statistics must serve as a stark warning to government – stop, think and urgently reconsider the 20% cut to the police service.”
Home Office minister James Brokenshire: “We cannot draw on long term trends from any single group of figures”
Home Office minister James Brokenshire said: “We have consistently argued that crime is too high and that is why our policing reforms are so urgently needed.”
Shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper said: “Now is not the time for the government to take risks with community safety by cutting over 12,000 police officers – people want crime to fall further and the government is doing nothing to help.”
So I say let’s help to prevent police call outs because why should they help us if we haven’t taken the correct precautions to try to help protect our homes and businesses as they are our responsibility and the better your business is protected the lower you insurance might be,because in 2009-2010 the rates recorded by the british crime survey for burglary in england and wales where 651 since then recordeds show from 2010-2011 that stand at 745 and are still on the rise so safe guard what you care about with dont leave your house unsecure this summer as burglary has gone up and silver security are offering a starter pack for your home fully installed for £350 +vat this includes 3 PIR’S, 1 door contact, 1 key fob, 1 panel inc keypad, 1 live bell bo,x and one dummy bellbox.

Benefits of Commercial CCTV Monitoring
Commercial CCTV security systems,
have been in use for several years, and are becoming more used in the current times that ever before. This is because, they provide a safe environment, both for businesses and urban home setups, making it easier to reduce the issues of thefts and robbery.
Monitored CCTV
can either be a single camera or can be more elaborate with many systems at a central point, with many cameras, digital recorders and multiple operators, making them ideal security system for both inside and outside a building vicinity. There are many advantages of using close circuit television security systems as we shall highlight a few.
Commercial CCTV coupled with monitored CCTV system, helps to avoid many theft cases, whereby when thieves storms a business or a home unnoticed, and they realize that there is a close circuit television with monitored CCTV system, they have no choice but leave as they fear being noticed. Commercial CCTV systems on the other hand help in reducing shoplifter, because again a majority when they realize that they are being monitored by CCTV, they stop. Those who are ignorance, they are easily apprehended because of this security system
Close circuit television, is also used to monitor cash registers for businesses, which makes it easy and safe way to keep track of transactions and those using the cash registers like in banks and financial institutions. This also avoids a lot theft by employees. At homes, it is also easy to monitor cash especially where people do not take cash to bank immediately and incase of theft.
Among other benefits, these security systems helps when it comes to meeting insurance requirements, especially where there are illegitimate claims by employees and or denial, CCTV camera is quite helpful as it gives the required evidence.
