Back to School, Back to Work: Don’t Forget About Home Security

September means getting back into routine for thousands of households across Dublin and the surrounding counties.

Schools reopen, workplaces become busier and the relaxed routines of summer are replaced by early mornings, school runs, commuting and busy evenings.

With everyone getting back to normal, one thing that can easily be overlooked is home security.

At ESP Security, we recommend using September as an opportunity to review how secure your home is when nobody is there.

Is Your Home Empty for Longer During the Day?

During summer, someone may have been at home more frequently because of holidays, annual leave or different working arrangements.

Once September arrives, many properties return to being empty for predictable periods throughout the week.

A professionally installed burglar alarm provides an important layer of protection, while modern smart security systems can provide homeowners with greater control over their security when they are away from the property.

Security You Can Access From Your Phone

Modern alarm technology has changed considerably.

Smart alarm systems can allow homeowners to interact with their security system remotely and receive alerts through their smartphone.

This can provide additional reassurance when you are at work, collecting children, travelling or simply away from home.

ESP Security supplies and installs modern alarm systems tailored to the requirements of individual homes.

Add CCTV for Greater Visibility

CCTV can provide another valuable layer of home security.

Modern CCTV systems allow key areas around a property to be monitored, including entrances, driveways, side passages and gardens.

Combining CCTV with a professionally installed burglar alarm can create a more comprehensive home security system.

Don’t Ignore Problems With an Existing Alarm

If your alarm has started beeping unexpectedly, showing fault messages or experiencing sensor or battery problems, don’t simply stop using it.

Many existing alarm systems can be repaired without replacing the entire system.

ESP Security repairs and services a wide range of burglar alarms, including systems that we did not originally install.

Our experienced technicians can assess the problem and advise whether a repair, service or upgrade is the most appropriate option.

Make September Your Home Security Check-Up Month

As routines change and autumn begins, take a few minutes to look at your property from a security perspective.

Are all doors and windows secure? Is your alarm functioning correctly? Are external areas adequately lit? Does your CCTV provide the coverage you need?

Small improvements can make a significant difference to how secure you feel in your home.
