Which? looked at a number of categories including alarm quality, alarm sensitivity, ease of use and value for money. As theWhich? survey concludes, Pyronix beat other brands including Texecom as more of those who responded said they were very satisfied with the system and it’s positive feedback such as this which we regularly receive from our customers.

Pyronix offer a wide range of alarm systems, with wired or wireless options suitable for either home or business use. Pyronix alarms are designed to include patented anti-mask detectors which can detect if someone is trying to cover the sensors up, whilst some models are available with keyfobs which allow the alarm to be turned on or off without having to input an access code.

In addition Pyronix also manufacture a range of dialler and smart alarms which are designed to be controlled remotely using a smartphone app to give you control over your alarm, regardless of where you are. There aren’t many smart security systems which have the capability to alert you if there’s a problem at home, no matter where you might be in the world; however Pyronix systems allow you to do this.

Our advice on protecting your business from crime

/in /by

What are the best ways to ensure business security?

Limiting the risk of being targeted by criminals has always been a priority for business owners. However, because criminals are continually looking for new ways to rob businesses, it’s important to ensure your premises are as safe and secure as possible.

Here are some of the most effective steps you can take:

  • If you don’t have an intruder alarm make sure you get one installed as soon as possible, along with signs to warn potential intruders of its presence.
  • Identify all potential access points to your premises and ensure that doors are strong and that window locks have been fitted.
  • Security lighting offers a highly effective method of deterring intruders and will help to make your staff feel safer when they arrive or leave.
  • CCTV provides yet another highly effective deterrent but don’t forget that you’ll also need to be aware of data protection rules.
  • Put up signs to warn that certain parts of your premises are only accessible to members of staff – installing an access control system is an excellent way to further boost security and control who has access to different areas of your premises.
  • The techniques criminals use tend to evolve over time so it’s important to undertake regular checks to ensure your security measures are up to standard.

remote video doorbell

Enhance the security of your home with a remote video doorbell

/in /by

The benefits of remote video doorbells

We know how important security is for our customers and with this in mind, remote video doorbells look set to become increasingly popular. The ideal way to monitor visitors or receive parcels without having to wait at home, remote video door bells are designed to be connected to a smartphone or tablet app.

The use of security systems linked to smartphone or tablet apps is on the rise and using a remote video doorbell can offer a number of benefits:

  • Burglary prevention: a remote video doorbell can help deter potential intruders as unlike traditional doorbells, it’s possible to answer the door regardless of where you are. Not only does this offer the opportunity to vet callers but can also help to give the impression that your home is occupied.
  • Doorstep deliveries: there’s nothing more frustrating than missing an important delivery but because a remote video doorbell enables communication with callers, it’s possible to direct deliveries to a safe place or your neighbour’s house, for example.
  • Record visitors: some systems offer the capability to record and playback footage – this can prove particularly useful in the event of an attempted break in or in the case of nuisance callers.
  • Connect to different entry points to your home: using a remote video doorbell also makes it possible to connect to different entry points to your home, such as the backdoor or garage; helping to further enhance security.
  • Instant notification: remote doorbell systems are designed to be connected to several smartphones or tablets to allow multiple users to have access to the system. If someone rings the doorbell you’ll receive an instant notification, whether you ‘answer’ the doorbell or not.

Stay safe and secure this Christmas

Commercial and domestic security installations from FirstEye

Christmas is nearly here and if you’re planning on going away this year – whether you’re jetting off to somewhere a little warmer or will be staying with family or friends – we thought we’d remind you about the importance of ensuring your home or business is secure whilst it’s unattended.

Sadly the Christmas holiday and the run up to it are often used by thieves as an opportunity to attempt a break in. Properties which aren’t adequately protected are much more likely to be targeted and if you don’t have security measures such as a burglar alarm or security lighting, your property could be at greater risk.

Security solutions designed to help you protect your home or business

Security lighting is a highly effective yet relatively economical way of protecting a property. Designed to prevent intruders from using darkness as a cover, security lighting will flood the outside areas of property with bright light. Not only does this help to prevent break-ins, it can also prove to be very useful if you’re trying to unlock your front door in the dark! A range of different types of security lighting are available, from simple sensor lights designed to be triggered by movement, through to dusk until dawn lighting and security lights which can be connected to an intruder alarm system.

A security alarm offers the single most effective way to protect your home or business from intruders and here at FirstEye we have the expertise to design and install systems to suit all budgets and requirements. From bell only systems through to high-tech systems which can be linked to fire alarms etc. We also install a wide range of CCTV systems, suitable for either residential, commercial or business settings, designed to provide highly effective protection 24/7.

There are also simple steps you can take to protect your property whilst you’re away; including asking a neighbour to move post out of sight of your front door mat, through to using timer switches on lamps or lights. But whatever you do this Christmas, make sure you relax and enjoy the break!
