Kinds of burglary protection

There are many different types of burglary protection. The most common types of burglary protection are outdoor lighting: hardware, camera surveillance and alarm systems. Read on here to learn more about the different burglar alarms.

Outdoor Lighting

Outdoor lighting with a motion sensor is available from £20. Outdoor lighting is one of the most effective ways of burglary prevention. Crooks like to do their work inconspicuously. Work against them by installing outdoor lighting near doors and windows. This puts uninvited guests in the spotlight. An outdoor light with a motion sensor automatically turns on when it detects movement. A good way to ward off burglars, then. In addition, outdoor lighting is very convenient for you. You no longer have to search for the keyhole in the dark.

Renoca tip: Do you have a garage door? Don’t forget to light this entrance door. Garage doors are often an easy target for crooks.

Hanging and locking devices

It goes without saying that you should always close windows and doors properly before leaving the house. Make sure they are fitted with solid hardware. The SKG quality mark was created to ensure the hardware meets the right requirements. When locksmiths are awarded this quality mark, they receive several stars. The number of stars stands for a burglar’s time to get in. For burglars, every second counts, so if it takes too long, they will make their way out. See the table below for more information about the SKG quality mark and the stars.

Windows

Windows can be properly secured by means of window bars. Choose a window bar with SKG** certification for good burglar resistance. Do you have a window that opens no further than a crack? Then choose the combination window stay.

Keep in mind that crooks can also come upstairs. Just securing the ground floor is not enough. Burglars like using climbing equipment, such as the rubbish bin. To avoid making it too easy for these scramblers, moving the dustbin or putting it inside is wise. This way, they cannot use your dustbin as a stepping stone.

Doors

Do you want to reduce the risk of burglary? Then choose a good cylinder and the right hardware. The cylinder lets you open the door easily with a key and prevents the burglar from gaining access. SKG** cylinders are available from £ 20. The finishing caps, or fittings, provide extra security and a nice finish. SKG*** hardware for the external door is available from £30.

Many burglars choose the front door to penetrate. Always make sure you have SKG-approved locks and good burglary prevention. For example, install anti-burglar strips. The specialist will place these on the door and on the frame. This prevents burglars from using a crowbar to break open the door. Upon seeing the strips, most burglars will not try to break in. Anti-intrusion strips are available from £40.

Do you have doors that open outwards? If so, the specialist will recommend you install thieves’ claws. Thieves’ claws are metal pins that make breaking open hinges impossible. The thieves’ claws cannot be seen outside but are in the frame. 3 pieces of SKG** thieves’ claws are available from £3.

Camera surveillance

Do you want to keep an extra close eye on your property? Then choose camera surveillance. Camera surveillance has a deterrent effect on burglars. There are many different surveillance cameras. The most popular types are dome cameras and bullet cameras. Dome cameras are round domes, available from £25. Bullet cameras are striking elongated cameras, available from £30. Both types have the ability to film clear images even at night in the dark. Opt for HD cameras to recognise faces and license plates.

Renoca tip: Have no cables been drawn for the cameras yet? Then opt for the wireless variant. Wireless cameras are connected to the wifi network.

Do you want to be in control of the cameras yourself? Then opt for controllable cameras. With controllable cameras, it is possible to remotely film exactly what you want on the screen. Many cameras make viewing the images live from your smartphone or tablet possible. This way, you can always keep an eye on things yourself.

Alarm system

A home alarm system always alerts you. Not only in case of burglaries but also in case of fire. Various detectors, such as motion sensors and magnetic contacts, alert you during a burglary. Motion sensors detect movement in a room. Point the sensors at doors and windows. Keep in mind that most sensors have a maximum range of 10 metres. In large rooms, the specialist will need to install several motion sensors. Magnetic contacts signal the burglar alarm system when the magnets no longer contact. The specialist places a contact on the door and the frame. If a burglar breaks the door open, the door alarm goes off. The magnets then no longer make contact with each other. Of course, placing the magnetic contact on windows is also possible. Motion sensors are available from £10. Magnetic contacts are available from £5.

Renoca tip: If you buy an alarm system, they are easy to expand. For example, it is possible to connect an alarm light or strobe. When the alarm is triggered, the light provides a great deterrent effect.

Alarm systems in shops and businesses

Alarm systems in shops reduce the risk of burglaries, robberies and thefts. This is because surveillance cameras have a preventive effect on burglars and robbers. Thieves often cease their burglary attempts by hanging a monitor at the entrance. Unlike individuals, companies have numerous options for deploying alarm systems. One example is access passes with a unique code that allows shopkeepers to monitor their staff.

Renoca tip: Have a fog generator installed in your shop. In case of a burglary attempt or robbery, the fog generator fills the space with dense fog. The thief will have to abort his burglary attempt anywhere. The fog is harmless to people, animals and food.
