Video surveillance has become the most popular home security choice with British homeowners, and the main reason for this is that CCTV actually prevents break-ins from occurring by providing the ultimate deterrent. A few prominent CCTV cameras advertise the fact that any trespasser will be filmed while inside your perimeters, and that is enough to secure a conviction in a court of law.
Thieves Have Choices
If every UK dwelling had CCTV security, the burglar would have to get creative and find a way to disable the system, yet with so many unprotected homes around, it is much easier to simply move on. The modern house breaker is an opportunist thief who is looking for a half open window, and within a few minutes, he has entered the property, done a very quick tour of the downstairs and left with whatever valuables he happened to see. The whole thing would be over in a matter of minutes, and after checking there’s no dog in the garden, the next thing the thief looks for are the tell-tale signs of CCTV cameras.
Professional Design & Installation
There are specialist building services in Wimbledon who can design and install a video surveillance system that will watch over your home 24/7 and 365 days a year. A typical CCTV security system consists of the following:
