The Best Deterrents
For Your Home

Safety and security are the top things people consider when they are at home, and many of us wrongly believe that having one security feature keeps us secure at night. We have come up with a list of possible intruder deterrents so that you can sleep soundly, knowing that your home is as secure as possible.

House Alarms

House alarms are a fantastic way of alerting people to potential intruders and having an alarm box prominently positioned will often mean that burglars will avoid trying to get in as they want to draw the least attention to themselves at all times.

CCTV

Active CCTV will monitor who comes near your home day and night. The video can be uploaded to the cloud as soon as it is recording; this makes it a fantastic deterrent and means that you will have evidence of the person trying to enter your home and can share it with the authorities.

Dogs

If you have a pooch that likes to bark when there is even the slightest noise in the house, then they will act as a natural deterrent to anyone thinking of coming into your home. A dog's bark can sound menacing to a stranger, and they will no know how big your pup is from outside your house.

Windows and Doors

Most burglaries happen when people forget to lock their doors and windows as the majority of crimes are undertaken by opportunists. This tells us that if you remember to check doors and windows every time you go out or go to bed, then your risk of being broken into is massively reduced.

Lights & Movement

Our final tip is to make good use of smart home features like lights and plugs that can be used when you are away from home. Activating them means that it will look like there is someone at home when there isn't, making the chance of an intruder trying to get minimal.
