A thorough approach to residential security

Domestic security systems installed in Leeds by Dalec

Whilst there are lots of steps you can take to protect your home when you’re out or away on holiday – getting a neighbour to move your post away from the front door, for example – there’s little doubt that installing a security system combined with CCTV is the best way to protect your family and home from theft.

Intruder alarms designed to provide round the clock protection

Intruder alarms detect when someone enters a property. Here at Dalec our team has the expertise to design and install a range of wireless systems which are easy to fit, with little drilling required. Technology has come on in leaps and bounds over recent years and ‘smart’ alarms are now available. Designed to be linked to a smart phone or tablet via an app, smart alarms will provide you with alerts and notifications, no matter where you are. This is a great way to provide yourself with peace of mind; offering the capability to check whether your alarm has been set, for example, or to deal with a false alarm.

CCTV provides unbeatable protection

CCTV offers an excellent way to take security to the next level and is pretty hard to beat when it comes to protection. There’s a common misconception that CCTV is only suitable for use in public places such as shopping centres, however it is now being widely used by homeowners to provide themselves with additional round the clock security. We have the expertise to install systems to meet all requirements and whether you’d like just one camera or several, we’ll design and system to suit your home and lifestyle. The latest HD CCTV systems are designed to provide crystal clear images and in many cases, installing one of these systems could help to reduce your home insurance premiums.

Although there’s no substitute for a security alarm, there are lots of simple steps you can take to improve the security of your home::

  • Always make sure exterior doors are locked, even when you’re at home.
  • Windows should be fitted with robust locks.
  • If you go away on holiday, use timer switches to switch the radio, TV and lamps on and off as this helps to make your home look occupied.
  • Ask a friend or neighbour to move post out of sight of the front door when you’re away.
  • Illuminate outside areas with security lighting – this will help to deter thieves whilst helping you feel more secure when you return home at night.
  • Never leave a spare key hidden near the front door as this is the first place thieves will look! If you do need to provide access to a spare key the safest thing to do is to fit a key safe.
