Domestic security advice from specialist alarm installers in Leeds

Home security is important for all homeowners but if you have a dog or cat, your security system could be triggered by your four legged friend moving about. With this in mind, it can be tempting to choose not to have a security system at all. However, thanks to improvements in the security alarms available, having a pet no longer means you have to compromise on home security. Here’s our advice on ensure your home is secure and pet-friendly.

Domestic alarms installed by FirstEye

Installing a burglar alarm is cost-effective way to protect your home from theft, with statistics showing that around 60% of the burglaries attempted on homes with alarms fail. Nevertheless, many pet owners choose not to install an alarm because they’re worried that their pet could trigger it.

However, there are steps which can be taken to stop lively pets from accidentally setting off a burglar alarm. Many security alarm packages include a pet-friendly motion sensor; designed to use a range of technologies to assess the movement pattern, speed and temperature of whatever has triggered it, therefore ruling out pets. This means that the alarm can be set and you’ll be able to relax in the knowledge that your pets can safely move around the house.

Careful positioning of alarm sensors can also make a huge difference though. If your dog spends the majority of the day in the living room, for example, but has a habit of jumping on the sofa, make sure that any sensors are directed away from this particular area. In addition, don’t forget to ensure that sensors are placed as high as possible on the walls; at least five foot high is ideal. The best way to ensure alarm sensors are in the best position is to choose to have an alarm installed by a security professional.

Business and commercial security installations Leeds

Running a business is hard work; especially if you are a small business which is built upon trust. However, many small businesses fall victim to theft, with money and assets being taken by their own staff. A dip in profits resulting from employee theft can be catastrophic but there are ways to avoid the problem before it causes a serious issue. Here are a few suggestions as to how you could prevent employee theft:

• Internal CCTV: whilst this might seem a fairly drastic measure, installing CCTV not only offers a highly effective deterrent, it is also an ideal way to catch staff in the act. Here at FirstEye we can help you design and install a system which meets your individual requirements, working closely with you to ensure you have cover in the areas you need it most, including stock rooms and store rooms.
• Smart security: it really does pay to stay ahead of the game and making the most of the latest smart security systems could help you save time and money. Running a business is time consuming, with not enough hours in the day to spend time review CCTV images! Smart security apps will let you set up scenarios and will send you a notification if movement is detected in a particular area. The ideal solution whether you want to cover all angles or a particular problem area, smart security offers a cost-effective solution.
• Door entry keypads also help to offer yet another cost-effective solution. Allowing you the capability to control or limit staff access, door entry keypads are ideal for protecting sensitive areas, valuables and stock. In addition, the latest door entry systems can also be integrated with a smart security app, enabling you to see who has had access to particular areas.
