September Home Security: Is Your Home Ready for the Darker Evenings?

September marks a noticeable change in our daily routines. The evenings begin to get shorter, children are back at school, summer holidays are over and many homes are empty for longer periods during the working day.

It is also a good time to think about home security.

At ESP Security, we provide professional home security solutions to homeowners throughout Dublin, Louth, Meath, Kildare and Wicklow. With over 30 years’ experience in domestic and commercial security, we can help make sure your home is properly protected as we move into autumn and winter.

Check Your Burglar Alarm

If you already have a burglar alarm, when was the last time it was serviced or tested?

An alarm may appear to be working normally while batteries, sensors or other components are beginning to deteriorate. Regular servicing can identify potential problems before they result in your alarm failing when you need it.

ESP Security repairs and services burglar alarm systems – including systems originally installed by other companies.

Consider a Smart or Monitored Alarm

Modern security systems offer homeowners far more control than traditional alarm systems.

Depending on the system installed, smart alarm technology can allow you to receive notifications directly to your smartphone, giving you greater awareness of what is happening at your property when you are away.

Monitored alarm systems can provide an additional level of security and reassurance, particularly for homes that are regularly empty during the day or when homeowners are travelling.

Review Your CCTV

September is also an ideal time to check your CCTV cameras.

Make sure cameras have a clear view and that hedges, trees or other objects have not begun obstructing them. It is also important to check that cameras are recording correctly and that the image quality remains suitable.

If your CCTV system is older, upgrading to newer technology may provide considerably better image quality and easier access to your security system.

Simple Security Habits Still Matter

Technology is important, but everyday security habits also make a difference.

Remember to lock doors and accessible windows when leaving your home, avoid leaving keys close to doors or letterboxes and ensure sheds, garages and side entrances are properly secured.

As the evenings become darker, exterior lighting can also help make entrances and vulnerable areas around your property more visible.
