When choosing to install CCTV and security alarms to your Medway home, it's important to opt for professional installation from a trusted and local electrician. A professional installation can help with optimal positions and coverage, covering blind spots and areas that may seem hard to cover. A qualified electrician will also carry the knowledge to make sure wiring is installed safely and cameras are legally compliant when it comes to public areas or neighbours homes. Professional installation can help you reap the maximum benefits that come from home safety systems.
What types of CCTV and Security Alarms are available?
CCTV has a range of products available on the modern market, it can be confusing knowing what to choose. If you’re looking to keep it simple then you may be best suited to Analogue CCTV, all this requires is connection to a DVR (Digital Video Recorder) - it’s old school but does the job if you’re looking for something low maintenance. The next step up from this would be IP CCTV, this requires Wi-Fi connection as IP CCTV will capture the video and then compress and transfer over to your Wif-Fi - this is great as it allows you to watch the footage even when you’re away from your home on your phone. You’ll also have a range of camera qualities available, the most recommended would be 4K or 1080p (high definition) at the least - don’t invest in CCTV only to be caught out by poor camera quality, meaning you aren’t able to decipher faces or issues should a problem arise.
With security alarms you can opt for either burglary alarms or intrusion detectors, both include sensors. Burglary alarms are installed on windows and doors and use both sensors and motion detectors - setting off an alarm when unauthorised entry has been made. intrusion detection alarms are more modern and technologically advanced compared to burglary alarms, they usually are connected to a station on the wall and send automatic notification to authorities to report a break in.
Real life experience with CCTV & Security Alarm Installation in Medway
We recently visited a customer's home on Childscoft Road, Rainham. This was a 2 bed semi detached bungalow where a lovely older couple are living. The couple deservingly enjoy frequent trips abroad together and we’re concerned that with their frequent travelling, they are leaving their home unattended with no way of knowing if a break in was occurring - naturally they want to make sure their home is safe. The husband has a classic MG in the garage, his pride and joy which he is particularly keen to protect! In order to offer the couple peace of mind we installed 4 CCTV cameras, all placed at strategic locations along with a linked alarm. The couple can now enjoy their trips with peace of mind knowing their home is protected and authorities are notified straight away should an incident occur.
