CCTV installations in Leeds

CCTV is so much more affordable than it once was, making the technology a commonplace feature on residential properties. Whereas once CCTV cameras could only be found in car parks and shopping centres, making the most of the round-the-clock surveillance a CCTV system offers is a great way for homeowners to improve the security of their property.

Installing a CCTV system is far simpler than most people think and when used in combination with a security system, will ensure your home is protected from the risk of theft. However, if a CCTV system is as effective as possible, it must be carefully designed and installed to ensure maximum camera coverage.

Here at Dalec our team have many years of experience in installing CCTV systems on a wide range of properties throughout Leeds and we’ll take a number of factors into consideration when planning a system for your home. We’ll look at the main entry points to your property, for example, assessing how secure they are and which require priority protection. Whether you’d like to give your driveway additional protection or feel that the back garden is a likely entry point for thieves, we’ll work with you to ensure your system meets your unique requirements.

We install CCTV systems suitable for use in a wide range of properties and to suit most budgets. CCTV provides exceptional protection and because it’s hard to put a price on the peace on mind that one of these systems can offer, why not consider installing one today?

Emergency lighting installed in Leeds

The majority of business owners are well aware of the importance of fire safety at work but many fail to realise that, alongside fire alarm and security systems, emergency lighting has become a vital element of the safety systems used in business, commercial and industrial buildings.

Evidence shows that emergency lighting can literally prove to be a life saver.  Designed to provide provide a safe escape route in the event of a fire or as a lighting source during a power cut, emergency lighting will automatically switch on when a fire alarm is triggered. It’s important to remember that in the event of a fire, a building can fill with thick black smoke extremely quickly, making it almost impossible to escape.  Emergency lighting helps to illuminate a safe route out of a building, helping to save lives and reduce the risk of injury. However when installing emergency lighting systems, it’s essential to install the correct type and to ensure that a suitable layout is used.

Security advice for commercial property owners in Leeds

We know Christmas is still months away but if you own a commercial business; the chances are the lead-in time before the festive season will be very busy for you. With this in mind, now is a great time to review the security of your commercial premises to ensure that it’s safe secure and protected, now and throughout the year.

The importance of having a well-lit property should never be underestimated. Properties which burglars can sneak in and out of undetected are far more likely to be targeted. In addition, a lack of outdoor lighting is often seen as a general lack of attention to security so make sure yours is protected by exterior security lighting.

You might be surprised to learn that signage can prove to be a simple, yet highly effective way of deterring intruders. Putting up a sign to show that your property is protected by a CCTV system and an alarm could discourage less-skilled, opportunistic thieves from attempting a break-in.

An access control system can also be extremely helpful and one that is linked to a deadlock will prove a real challenge for most criminals. Access control is also a good way to keep control over your premises, enabling you to hand our temporary access codes to staff, rather than handing out keys which can have a habit of being mislaid or misused.

Just as you would at your own home, it’s also important to be alert to any unusual activity. This might include people hanging around outside your property, whether they are on foot or in a vehicle, or individuals going back and forth for no apparent reason.

It’s important to bear in mind, however, that prevention is always better than a cure and this is where an alarm system comes into play. Your property is probably already protected by an alarm but it’s well worth having an automated system instead of a standard one. There is a wide range of systems on the market which are designed to allow you to view CCTV images remotely; from your smartphone, tablet or a laptop. In addition you’d also be able to receive instant notifications if any activity is detected, enabling you to monitor security as and when you need to.
