Get your home security system ready for summer

Your home security system should be the last thing on your mind while you are enjoying the summer. Here are some tips on how to secure your home over the holidays:

Find the right home security system for you

If your home doesn’t have a security system then the summer is the ideal time to get one installed. Not only will it secure your property if you go on holiday, it will also allow you plenty of time to get used to using it before the nights get longer.

Armoured Alarms can perform an assessment of your premises and recommend the most suitable security system for your needs.

Have your security system serviced

If you have an existing security system, Armoured Alarms can make sure it is working to its optimum before you go away – even if we didn’t install it.

We can check your alarm back up batteries and all equipment, whilst our servicing packages also include all call outs for 12 months.

Make sure your CCTV is unobstructed

Gardens flourish over the summer months, which can mean trees and plants overgrowing and obscuring your CCTV cameras. This can result in false alarms and may impact your chances of capturing footage an intruder.

To ensure your CCTV system is working to its best, make sure that any greenery around it is cut well back throughout the summer - especially before you go away.

Keep an eye on the front door

Whilst summer is a time for relaxing out in the garden, it also means that the front of your property is left unmonitored.

Installing a doorbell security camera will allow you to observe who is approaching your home without having to physically open the door yourself.

What’s more, doorbell security systems feature a two-way speaker system so you can communicate with whoever is at your door from the comfort of the BBQ or even further afield - which brings us to…

Get SMART

One of the many advantages of modern home security systems is SMART technology, which allow Wi-Fi-enabled security systems to connect with your mobile devices.

As a result, you can monitor your property while you are away, controlling your security systems and receiving real-time updates.

We offer a range of market-leading wireless systems, including Pyronix, Hive, Ajax, Texicon and Honeywell.
