Protecting Your Home
From Tech-Savvy Criminals
As technology continues to advance, so do the methods employed by criminals to break into homes. It is important for all South Africans to take proactive measures to protect their property and loved ones.
Incorporating a blend of cutting-edge tech solutions with the peace of mind that comes with having a trusted security company on your side, you can create a formidable defence against tech-savvy burglars. Here are some essential tips to prevent or deter criminals who use technology to break into homes.
Fight Tech With Tech – Digital Home Security
Install Smart Home Security Systems
Embrace the power of smart technology to bolster your home’s security. Invest in a comprehensive smart home security system that includes cameras, motion sensors, and smart locks. These devices can be controlled remotely through a smartphone app, enabling you to monitor your property in real-time and receive instant alerts of any suspicious activities. While this adds a layer of security you would not have had before, it is not a true substitute for a professional security system installation.
Video Doorbells
Video doorbells have become an indispensable tool for modern home security. These devices allow you to see and communicate with visitors at your door, whether you’re home or away.
Be Cautious with Social Media
This is often overlooked, but incredibly important. Criminals often scour social media for potential targets. Avoid announcing vacation plans or posting pictures while away from home. Wait until you return to share your travel experiences to minimise the risk of providing burglars with information about an empty house.
Use Timers for Lights and Electronics
Simulate an occupied home by using timers on lights, TVs, and other electronics. Scheduling these devices to turn on and off at specific times can create the illusion that someone is home, discouraging potential burglars.
Leave Nothing to Chance – Make Use of a Security Company
Home Security Systems
Advanced home security systems such as alarms, access control, electric fencing and surveillance cameras should be left to the professionals. Experienced security companies have the know-how and skills required to set up advanced systems that even the most technically-minded criminals will find difficult to penetrate.
Armed Reaction Services
Be sure to make use of a security company (such as SB Security) that employs state-of-the-art technology and a highly skilled workforce to ensure you are in the hands of the best armed reaction service provider available. Armed response via alarm, panic or phone-in can mean the difference between life and death.
