4 Ways to Improve Your Home Security

Given that burglary methods are becoming more and more sophisticated, it’s really important to make sure your home has the right security measures in place. This guide outlines four simple but effective installations and changes to ensure you’re safe in your home, whether it means installing exterior lights or adding a security access control pad to your apartment complex.

Without further ado, here are four ways to improve your home security!

1. Use Exterior Lights

A great way to improve the security of your home relatively cheaply is to install exterior lights. If somebody was to try and break into your home, these movement-sensitive lights would turn on, likely causing the trespasser to panic and flee. Not only this but if you have CCTV installed then you’ll get a much better picture of the trespasser. Most exterior lights work via solar panels so you could also do this in an eco-friendly way.

2. Install CCTV

If you’re going to install exterior lights then you’ll also want CCTV as it’s the sort of security measure you don’t think of until it’s too late. Similar to exterior lights, CCTV acts as a deterrent to potential trespassers. In today’s world where everything is online and gadgets are replacing appliances left right and centre, it’s time to invest in high quality CCTV because it’s never been easier for potential burglars to break into your home!

3. Use Fencing and Gates

A brilliant way to deter potential trespassers is to make sure your fencing and gates are adequate for your property. If you live by trees or other properties then it’ll be easier for trespassers to get in so you’ll want taller, spiked fencing and gate options. Similarly, if you live on a main road then you’ll want to consider adding aluminium gates to your driveway as it’ll add another obstacle for your home security.



4. Keypad Access

Especially if you live in an apartment complex, you’ll want to make sure nobody can get in who isn’t a resident. This is where access control pads are really useful, as they allow access to a select group of people. They can work via a number PIN or cards could be distributed. Regardless of the opening method, it’s a really convenient way to both provide access to the right people and improve the security measures your property has in place.
