Security Systems for home and companies

By Pat Murphy


Security of premises and houses has evolved in the past fifteen years, from a simple alarm system on a home or business to the stage where we will be able to now monitor our alarm, cameras and automatic gates from the touch of a button on our telephones or computers.

The large scale production of security products has enabled costs to come down to cheaper levels for domestic houses so house owners can now afford this level of monitoring as well as owners of commercial grounds. The new smaller, neater and better quality products mean that you can install more discrete cameras and gates at your home. Alarm systems have become more trustworthy with less false activations and diallers can be fitted to contact your cellphone in the event of activation. Cameras can now be recorded and viewed live 24 hours per day.

The footage is recorded onto hard drive units which just rewrite over when full. The backed up photographs can then be viewed domestically up to 1 or 2 months later. These recorders have become more user-friendly and trustworthy and no longer involve changing tapes daily. With the introduction of broadband and fixed IP addresses, you now have the ability to watch your home or grounds from anywhere in the world via a laptop or smart phone. If your alarm goes off and dials your phone, you can view your cameras remotely.

Automatic gates are becoming all the rage and whilst they're critical from a security and privacy aspect, they can offer confidence for families with small children. Recently the safety aspects have been increased to eliminate trapping and injury concerns. Intercoms, keypads and remote controls are used to manage entry to the property.

The introduction of cell-phone technology enables your intercom to contact your telephone and permits you to open the gates from anywhere to the world. Your gates can close automatically or you simply dial the intercom to close them when your caller has left the property. In these times when burglaries are far more common it's vital to form as many obstacles as possible.
