- Indoor or outdoor purpose-made cameras

- Geo services that detect when you are home or away
- Wired or wireless options depending on the application

Home Security
- Garages are one of the most common entry points for a burglar. If you have internal access to your home from the garage ensure the door is strong and secure with a working lock.
- Installing a peephole in your front door is the safest way to check who is at the door before you unlock the door. Just because someone yells out that they are the postman, doesn’t mean they are.
- Security doors should be fitted at a minimum to your front door. If you do have them, make sure you keep them locked.
- Have a plan with the occupants of your home of who is responsible for locking up the house every night and when you come and go throughout the day. While you are locking up don’t forget the windows.
- If you have a pet door make sure you lock it while you’re not home as most are large enough to gain access or be able to reach in and unlock the door.
- Most security doors if locked with the key cannot be unlocked from the inside. this is an important feature to take advantage of.
- Windows are a key entry point along with the front door for most burglars. Almost all windows have a lock mechanism designed for them and are inexpensive. An open window gives the burglar a Quiet entry giving them more time inside your home.
- Metal security shutters of grills are the best way to secure your windows from being an access point for burglars. Be cautious to use a reputable brand as you do not want them to fail in an emergency.
- Do not leave your keys in the window lock. Unfortunately, this is a common practice and criminals may break one window to get the keys and then have access to all your windows.
When security lighting is sensor activated it alerts anyone nearby that there is activity at your home. Most neighbours know each other’s general activity level and sensor lighting may be enough to alert someone of out of the ordinary activity.
- Criminals are trying to hide from plain sight when trying to gain access to your Sydney home. Leaving bright exterior lights on while you’re away can be a strong deterrent.
- Regularly check and maintain your exterior lighting especially if battery operated. Clearing dirt and debris from sensors will improve its operation.
Pet-friendly alarm sensors are now available. If you have pets inside don’t let them be the reason you don’t arm your security systems while not at home.
- Regularly clean your alarm sensors. PIR sensors can be interfered with if a build-up of dirt, cobwebs or household items are blocking their view.
- Your alarm system keypad will alert you if your system’s battery level is low or if any other issues with the security systems arise. Be sure to contact your customer service to have these issues repaired asap.
- Security alarms only work if they are turned on. Use your alarm systems every time you leave the house.
- Alarm monitoring is important for your alarm systems. Monitoring services will alert you of any activation at your property and send the necessary help.
Generally speaking when items are stolen from a home they are sold by the burglar as soon as possible. The most useful information you can provide Sydney police with is a log of inventory exactly what has been taken can be determined.
This inventory list also helps you and your insurance company at the time when a claim is made. If police know what was taken they can begin to investigate if the items are being sold publicly. An example of the details to log are:
- Colour
- Serial number
- Model name/number
- Manufacturer
