Protect your home when you get away

/in /by

We don’t know about you but the team here at FirstEye are all keeping their fingers crossed and hoping we’ll get the chance to go on holiday this summer! Whether you’re holding out for a foreign getaway, or about to book at UK staycation, it’s important to ensure your home is adequately protected whilst you’re away. Here at FirstEye we’re experts in providing affordable security systems for residential properties, with options to suit all budgets and requirements.

Here are a few examples of how we can help you safeguard your property and ensure peace of mind:

CCTV: no longer just used in car parks and shopping centres, CCTV is becoming increasingly popular with homeowners. CCTV offers unbeatable protection 24/7 and the sight of the cameras alone is usually sufficient to deter most thieves.

Security alarms: a security alarm should be an essential piece of security kit for all residential properties. An alarm will protect your home whilst deterring potential thieves and thanks to the latest alarm technology, you’ll be able to control your alarm through an app on your smartphone or tablet.

Access control: particularly suited to elderly or vulnerable homeowners, the latest access control systems offer the capability to check who’s at the door without having to answer it.

Smart doorbells: designed to work in a similar way to access control systems and will enable you to ‘answer’ the door even when you’re not at home. A great way to avoid missed deliveries and verify callers, a smart doorbell offers a cost effective way to enhance security.

Simple steps to protect your business from crime

/in /by

Businesses of all shapes and sizes can fall victim to crime and as such, all businesses need to take steps to safeguard themselves. However, many business owners are either concerned about the cost of installing security systems. Improving the security of your business doesn’t have to be expensive and by protecting your business now, rather than waiting until the worst happens, you could save yourself significant amounts of stress, time and money.

Here are a few simple steps you can take to help protect your business premises from break-ins and crime:

  • Make sure your business premises looks smart from the outside as an unkempt appearance gives the impression that you don’t take security seriously and there are unlikely to be any security measures in place.
  • Internal theft can be a real problem for many businesses and whilst an access control system, for example, offers protection for areas such as stock rooms, it’s also important to heave clear policies. Holding regular training sessions and random inspections of petty cash or deliveries can help stop internal theft in its tracks.
  • If your business premises already has an intruder alarm make sure you use it. If your alarm system is unreliable or outdated, consider installing a new system.
  • Installing security lighting is a relatively low-cost way to protect the outside areas of your business, whilst helping to give the impression that the inside is occupied even when it’s not.
  • Carrying out regular reviews of security will not only provide you with peace of mind, it’s also a good way to identify any weak points.

Are you using your domestic CCTV system correctly?

/in /by

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

FirstEye – experts in CCTV installations in West Yorkshire

If you’re considering installing a CCTV system, we have the expertise to help. We can help you choose the best system for your budget and requirements, whilst helping you position the cameras to ensure you have the protection you need, without compromising your neighbours’ privacy.

security lighting installed in Leeds

FirstEye puts a spotlight on security lighting

/in /by

Whilst security lighting is widely used as a way to prevent crime, it also offers a highly effective way to help you feel safer in your driveway or garden. Here at FirstEye we have the expertise to install security lighting to suit all budgets and requirements; providing a low-cost way to improve the security of your home.

Here are a few examples of how you and your family could benefit from security lighting:

  • Security lighting is an excellent preventative measure. There’s nothing burglars like more than having a dark place to hide and by illuminating the outside areas of your home – gardens, driveway, alleyways etc. – they’re far more likely to target another property.
  • We install LED security floodlights which are energy efficient, high output and economical to run; making them an environmentally friendly way to improve your home’s security.
  • Security lighting also makes a useful addition to other security measures in your home, such as CCTV. Security lighting works extremely well alongside CCTV cameras as it helps to provide clearer pictures when it’s dark. In addition, effective security lighting will also highlight your alarm’s bell box to provide yet another deterrent.
