Security Cameras

CCTV is one of the most popular security systems, and for good reason. Strategically placed cameras can protect your home from all angles, helping you sleep better at night.

Security cameras are a good idea particularly if you travel away from home often or keep a lot of valuable items in your home. The simple presence of cameras will deter any potential thieves. Plus, in the unfortunate incident that anyone does break in, it can be helpful to have the footage to help track down whoever did it.

Security Lighting

Security lighting is another great deterrent that also acts as a layer of security when coming home late at night. These systems respond to movement, so the light will turn on if anyone approaches your home. You can rest easy knowing you'll always be able to identify any late-night visitors with an automatic security lighting system.

Motion Sensors

Motion sensors are your good old-fashioned home alarm systems that respond to any movement in the house. They require you to turn them on when you leave and back off when you get home.

One of their main advantages is their ease of installationas all the components are wireless. More advanced systems will send an alert to a security company or your mobile phone when they are activated for an extra layer of protection.

Panic Controls

If you're particularly concerned about your safety within your own home a panic control can be a great option to give you some peace of mind. If you find yourself in a threatening or unsafe position you can subtly activate the alarm.

To discuss your specific home security needs with an expert, consider calling Christchurch Electricaltoday. We specialise in home security systems and can help you select a solution that will best meet your requirements and help you sleep comfortably at night.
