CCTV Installation Bridgend

Firstly, our engineers will conduct a property assessment to determine how to use the available space and infrastructure. After the initial site assessment, our security engineers will consider your needs to design the best CCTV system for you. The third step after the design is completed will be installation. Bearing your convenience and needs in mind, our engineers will seek to ensure that they limit the disturbance to your business premises or home during installation. The installation procedure is completed with a post-implementation survey, during which we test the new CCTV or other security systems to ensure it is up to par.

CCTV stands for Closed Circuit Television. This is a set of cameras linked to a monitoring device in your home that lets you monitor live events as well as recording the footage to save a view later.

Unfortunately we do not live in a perfect society and your home or business is always at risk of burglary. Indeed, it has been shown that the average cost across the country for a residential burglary is £3030. But you can take steps that will reduce the risk. One of these is installing a high quality surveillance system. It has been shown that 60% of burglars wouldn’t attempt to enter a property if it had an surveillance system. So using surveillance as a deterrent clearly works. 

Did you know that surveillance could save you money in the long term. Insurance companies are looking at homes with surveillance as a low risk policy because the homeowner is seen to be taking appropriate steps to ensure their home’s protection. This means that the premiums insurance companies offer to those with surveillance can be drastically lower than those homes with no additional security. 

Whilst CCTV can lower your premiums and deter potential thieves, it cannot alert you to a crime in progress. That is why we recommend complimenting your newly installed surveillance system with a state of the art intruder alarm. 

An intruder alarm detects attempted, unauthorised intrusion into your property and raises an alarm, alerting you, your family and in some cases, the police to potential break in. Merely setting off the alarm can be all it takes to have an unwanted intruder fleeing from your property. 

The two main types of intruder alarm are wired and wireless. Wired Intruder alarms are what they sound like. An alarm linked by wires that run through your house to a main control box. Once an intruder is detected, the information races to the control box and the alarm is set off, notifying you, your security company or the police. 

The second type of alarm is wireless. This works by utilising sensors laced around the home that send radio waves to your control box. One of the benefits of a wireless alarm is that in the case of a power outage it will still be able to continue sending the signals as it is run off a battery, and not the mains like a wired system. Both set off the same alarm, alerting you to the potential problem.

The simple answer to this question is, yes. First of all, installing CCTV these days would cost significantly less compared to what they used to cost in the past so you don’t have to spend a fortune on them. Besides the peace of mind and the reduced odds of being burgled, it can also save you some money on your insurance policy. Insurance companies treat homes with security systems (e.g. CCTV, burglar alarm) as lower-risk properties, hence they may offer lower insurance premiums. Ultimately, crime becomes deterred at a much higher level when you opt to invest in CCTV or other security systems for your home or business.
