Business security solutions installed in Leeds by FirstEye

Although we’re not quite there yet, as a result of this week’s Government announcement, many businesses will be starting to prepare for opening up again during the spring. As things slowly get back to ‘normal’, with more and more businesses returning to work or life in the office, now is a great time to revue the security of your business. Planning ahead is not only an effective way to avoid the stress and expense of a costly break in, it will also provide much needed of peace of mind.

Security systems for commercial, hospitality and business

Here at FirstEye we have the expertise to install a broad range of security solutions, with options to suit businesses of all shapes and sizes; from those working from home through to cafes, hotels, restaurants, offices, warehouses and factories. Regardless of whether you’re looking for a simple security alarm or a complex access control system, we can provide you with a solution which matches your budget and individual requirements.

When it comes to choosing in and investing in a security system for your business, we know that it can be difficult to decide which the best options are. Here are a few things to think about to help you choose the most cost-effective security solutions for your business premises:

• Is your business premises open to the general public? Shops, cafes, hotels, restaurants and office premises with public reception areas often benefit from the installation of a CCTV system. Not only does CCTV provide a highly effective deterrent against theft, it can also prove useful in the event of a police investigation or insurance claim.
• Do you store valuable stock or have sensitive information stored in your business premises? If you do, installing an access control system will help you monitor and control who has access to particular areas of your premises. In addition, thanks to the latest technology, you’ll be able to monitor your premises 24/7 via an app on your smartphone or tablet.
• Are you working from home? Don’t overlook the fact that IT equipment is expensive to replace so make sure your home is fully protected with a reliable home security system.

Unfortunately burglary and theft are an on-going issue for farms and businesses located in rural areas. Thieves take advantage of remote locations, using isolated areas to travel around undetected. As with all security protection, prevention is always better than cure and so installing a CCTV system and security alarm will give your farm or rural business the protection it deserves.

As a Rural CCTV Partner, we are able to offer NFU members 10% off a CCTV installation in North Yorkshire or West Yorkshire. In addition, not only will we offer 10% off your CCTV installation, we’ll also give you a 10% discount off any intruder alarm installed at the same time.

• CCTV cameras offer a highly visible deterrent
• You’ll be able to monitor your property and land regardless of where you are, providing much needed peace of mind

Domestic CCTV systems installed in Leeds by FirstEye

Whilst installing a CCTV system offers an excellent way to improve the security of your home, it’s important to ensure you meet Government guidelines and that you respect other people’s privacy.

If your cameras are positioned so that they only capture images within the boundary of your private property, including the garden, then data protection laws won’t apply to you. However, if your system captures images of people outside your private boundaries such as your neighbours’ homes and gardens, a public footpath, street or shared spaces, then both the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 will apply to you.

How to use CCTV responsibly

Before installing a CCTV system it’s important to spend time thinking about how to position the cameras so that your neighbours’ property, shared spaces and public spaces aren’t intruded upon. In addition, here are a few other things you might consider before installing CCTV:

• try to find the most privacy-friendly way to position the cameras
• consider carefully which areas you want the cameras to capture
• think about whether you need to record the images or whether a live feed is adequate
• if your cameras don’t capture images outside your boundaries, then the data protection laws wont apply to you

Top tips for improving your home’s security

The start of a new year is a great time to improve your home’s security. At FirstEye we offer a wide range of security solutions, with cost-effective options to suit all budgets and requirements. From wireless burglar alarms and security lighting, through to smart doorbells, securing your home doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Here are just a few examples of simple ways to give your home and family the protection they deserve:

• Security lighting is a low-cost way to help prevent burglary. Security lights illuminate otherwise dark areas which thieves use as ‘protection’ when attempting to gain access to a property. Installing security lighting offers a proven and highly effective deterrent as by preventing thieves from having a place to hide, you’ll put them off trying to break into your home.
• A security alarm offers great protection for your home, so if you don’t have one or yours is old or outdated, now is the time to have one installed. We install alarms in Leeds to suit all budgets and requirements, including wireless alarms designed to be controlled using a smartphone app. Remember than often the sight of an alarm bell box alone is enough to put off most thieves.
• Not only do smart door bells offer a safe way to see who’s at the door without having to answer it; they can also help prevent missed deliveries! Smart door bells are ideal for all types of property and can prove particularly useful for elderly or vulnerable residents. Smart door bells contain a tiny camera which, when the door bell is rung, will send images of who’s at the door to a smart phone app. It’s also possible to speak to the caller so if you’re not at home when that parcels delivered, you’ll be able to let them know where to leave it.
