Home Security Tips
1. Investing in a good quality home security system
4G cellular monitoring replaces uses mobile networks to transmit alarm signal to the security control room. This method replaces traditional monitoring as the NBN is rolled out and also provides a higher level of security as dual sim 4G can be utilised, this means it can run on the telstra network as a primary connection and optus network as a backup.
Another added security feature with 4G monitoring is poll rates can be selected as short as a 1 hour window, this essentially checks the connection between the panel and the control room once every hour where as traditional dialler monitoring send a test call once for 24 hour period. Being a cloud device we can also supply a remote arming and disarming app to applicable clients.
2. Quality door & window locks
Poor quality door & window locks are easy to bypass and make it easy for burglars to entry your home. They may not be professionals but they do learn how certain types of locks operate and if you windows are loosely locked and insecure chances are they will get in to your property. Double glazing on windows also makes it harder to smash their way in.

4. Lock up your valuables with a quality safe
More often than not criminals carry small backpacks and are looking for small, high value items such as jewelry and gold. This makes having a good quality fire rated safe a great deterrent. If you have a security system your sirens will be screaming and the sense of urgency will be pushing the criminal to hurry out. Having your small valuables locked in a safe more often than not will save them from theft. When installing a safe be sure it is installed correctly to stop them taking the safe.
