Why Install CCTV at Home?
We’re accustomed to seeing commercial buildings with CCTV cameras but why do people have them at home? After, all do residential property owners really have that much to worry about, do they? It’s not like they have any valuables on the same scale as business premises, a shop or a warehouse full of valuable items is it? Well, actually lots of people may have valuables lying around, from antiques to tech equipment, and it’s every bit as important to protect these items as it would if you were protecting a commercial property.
Protect what you’ve worked hard for
You see more people are beginning to realise the importance of protecting their valuables and that security alarms may not be enough on their own. Lighting is a great help, however, CCTV cameras help to deter potential thieves in a way no other deterrent does. This is why we’re so enthusiastic about this type of security, we know how important it is and how much difference it can make.
Yes, there’ll be a financial investment when you have CCTV cameras installed but in return, you’ll save money, and we’re not just talking about having your valuables stolen. We know that once you’ve had them installed you may get a reduction in your home insurance. This is good news because the security of your home will always play a significant part in how much you’ll be charged for home insurance.
Less claims, less money
The less likely you are to have to make a claim then the cheaper it will be, it’s that simple. As well as that CCTV camera installations, once installed, needs very little in the way of maintenance so you won’t be pumping more money into them unless of course, you want to add more cameras or change the design of your installation.
The best visual deterrent
They act as a great deterrent in terms of being seen by anyone with ideas on your property. Visually then, CCTV cameras act as a great deterrent. It pays to make sure that people who see your property from the outside are aware of the fact that you have CCTV cameras. It is less likely potential burglars will target and break into your home if they see it’s protected. Advertising it through signage and placing it in appropriate places is a great way of putting off thieves.
Who’s out there - you’ll know with CCTV cameras
CCTV cameras will help you to see around the edges of your property and this is good because it does a lot more than an alarm or a strategically placed light, in that it can monitor what’s going on further away on the very edges of your property.
It can help identify criminals if they’re caught and they can be brought to justice. If they get away with taking precious souvenirs and valuable antiques, they won’t get far because CCTV footage will be able to offer clear images of the criminals, securing a conviction.
