Adding CCTV to your office
Most offices are home to very expensive equipment such as computers, monitors, printers and scanners to name a few. That’s why many people choose to install CCTV cameras, aiming to protect their equipment from burglars. With CCTV cameras, you have a deterrent straight away, and even if the most committed burglar chooses to proceed with a robbery, you’ll have the evidence needed to assist the police, giving you a chance of getting your goods back whilst also speeding up insurance claims.
Having CCTV cameras outside the building and inside the office will be very beneficial, and you only need to install the cameras in a few places, making sure you have clear views of any openings. You can then stream footage live on your mobile device, whilst you can scan through the footage when you next arrive at work to see if anything fishy went down.
Butterfleye – The most innovative home security system
There’s a lot of talk about home security systems getting cheaper and cheaper, but that’s a good sign, and it shows that technology is moving on. Butterfleye is one of the most recent home security systems, but it’s very well priced, and very easy to use. The megapixel IP camera is smart enough to recognise you, meaning there are no false alarms. Alarms will only ring if the system senses somebody else other than you.
You can also add your family members and pets, or the neighbour who comes round to look after your pet whilst you’re away. If an intruder is spotted, Butterfleye uses your home WiFi system to alert you via an app. You can then decide what to o, whether that’s calling the police or driving straight home. Its battery life is phenomenal, and it can last for up to two weeks, and you can move the camera remotely. It’s certainly one of the cheapest and best home security systems on the market.
Security Grilles
Security grilles are a prominent method for securing premises. They are not difficult to keep up, they are considerably less demanding offer high levels of security whilst looking great and decorative. Some of the retractable grilles are so secure, they are tried, and affirmed by insurance agencies.
Security for the Business
In shop retail stores, security grilles are stylishly satisfying whilst permit stock to be visible securely 24 hours a day. In workplaces they let the light in and you can even open the windows for natural air and ventilation without a compromise on security. Intended to keep interlopers out while letting greatest light in, they are ideal for any medium to expansive window and any vulnerable ground floor entryways or windows.
CCTV Cameras – What about the running costs?
Okay, so we all know CCTV cameras are a lot cheaper now than they were 10 years ago, and you could spend £20-£50 on a reliable home security system. The problem is, many people often forget about the running costs. We’re not just talking about the electric costs of running the camera 24 hours a day—which can be high—we’re also talking about the time spent on organising the footage and wiping the memory from time to time.
Time is money, and that’s especially the case today when we’re all too busy at work. Cheap CCTV units don’t usually have large memory drives, meaning they can only hold several days worth of footage before they need to be looked at or saved to another hard drive. This is obviously no good if you’re going on holiday for a couple of weeks and you want to keep your CCTV cameras running. You may have to pay someone to visit your home to make sure the camera is working as it should, so it may be beneficial to pay a bit more on a unit with a bigger drive and a self-organising function.
Mobile Surveillance Monitoring
Mobile surveillance monitoring (MSM) is essentially viewing live information coming from your IP camera or cameras on your mobile device. There are many mobile applications on the market that allow you to connect to your CCTV camera, and it means you can check up on your property wherever you are in the word.
Today it’s quick and easy to get connected. The camera usually connects straight to Wi-Fi and it privately streams the data to your mobile device when you’re securely logged in to an application. This clever technology doesn’t’ come cheap, especially if you’re looking for a high resolution stream, but it can give you peace of mind whilst you’re away from home or work, and it should be looked at as a long-term security investment.
A CCTV camera will act as a deterrent, but if the worst case scenario does happen and your property is broken into, you can save the data on your mobile and send it over to the police before the burglar has even had time to take your goods!
