HOME SECURITY AWARENESS

Home Security Awareness

Criminals are becoming more sophisticated and will sometimes disconnect outside power on property boundary meter boxes, then wait for the alarm battery to go flat and Alarm Status LED to go off before they break in. Most of the times these criminals find it easier to highjack the homeowner when coming home to bypass the alarm system. Please make sure your alarm is always working and carry panic remotes with you at all times.

Maintenance Tips

Alarm Systems: Make sure your panic, alarm zones and power monitoring are fully functional and should be tested at least once a year with armed response. Wireless sensors should have their batteries tested and replaced at the same time.

Electric Fencing: This should be linked to your alarm as an early perimeter monitor as first defence trigger to give more time for armed response to arrive. This equipment and fencing should be checked once year for full functioning. Vegetation can cause shorts with high voltages and wire insulating bobbins can break down, arc and control equipment can fail after years of function.

Gate Motors: Gates not running correctly, making a noise or hard to push in manual mode are a sign failed wheel bearing or worn track. If gate starts and stops before fully closing or opening can be a sign of this and cause motor gearbox to prematurely to wear out. Make sure battery backup is working in case of power failure.

CCTV: Make sure your CCTV is working and recording with remote viewing for you to login so you can check your premises while you are away. Remote monitoring is available linked to your armed response.

Batteries failing: It is imperative that that all your security equipment batteries are still functioning on backup and should be checked during service.
