When it comes to protecting your property most people can install the latest home security measures such as wireless burglar alarms, window and door alarms and even security lights around your building. However, what about the residents that live in larger properties such as farm buildings or estates? The perfect solution would be to know that someone was approaching your property before your home alarm system was triggered.

Early warning systems such as driveway alarms are an ideal addition to any security measures that you have currently in your home. Driveway alarms are the ideal way to alert you that someone has entered your homes perimeter and is now heading towards your property, giving you the opportunity to assess the situation.

Here at Crime Prevention Products we have a number of driveway alarms which will detect and alert you that someone is approaching – no matter the size of your property.

It’s amazing to think how many people leave their homes everyday given no regard whatsoever to their home security. They simply close their front or back doors then head off thinking that their property is safe. “It’ll never happen to me!” That’s the attitude which some people take – unfortunately opportunistic theft does happen and all too often – even if you think you live in a safe neighbourhood.

As residents walk away from their unprotected homes they seen to forget that these contain a lifetime of memories including items that have been passed down from loved ones, as well as everyday items such as televisions, game consoles, jewellery and even cash. Losing all your precious possessions plus the crushing thought that someone has been in your home can be very distressing indeed to most families who have been burgled. In order to recover from a burglary you must first prepare your home to be burgled.

Here at Crime Prevention Products we believe that every home should be protected, that’s why we have a wide range of products that will make your home that little bit securer.

As the dark winter nights begin to take grip some people will be thinking there is nothing better than cranking up their central heating systems and relaxing in front of their TV’s, whilst watching their favourite soaps. However, there are still the die-hard revellers, that no matter how bad the weather gets, they’ll still have to have their nights out.

Opportunistic thieves are a bit like the die-hard revellers, no matter the weather they’ll be out, scouring for a chance to make some easy money and they love nothing better than a house, sitting in a winters evening, with no lights on.

Every weekend thousands of people leave their homes unprotected thinking, “This is a safe street”, only to return and find their possessions gone and even more disturbingly being left with the feeling that some stranger has been in their home.

Crime Prevention Products have the perfect home security device that will fool a passing criminal into thinking that someone is inside a house, even when their not – The Fake TV! This small lamp glows and flickers just like your television would, given off the impression to someone passing by that you’re tucked up inside watching your favourite soap during these long winter nights.

As the nights begin to get darker a lot sooner, homeowners might start to think about beefing up their home security. This might entail purchasing a new home security alarm system, door & window locks and even personal alarms for their children if their out-and-about during the cold, late nights.

As the winter weather beats down on our shores many of us tend to blot out the conditions outside by turning the central heating temperature to tropical settings and get cosy in front of the TV, surf the web or just enjoy a good book. This is the season when we spend more time than any other indoors.

Unfortunately, as we descend into hybernation mode, opportunistic thieves love this time of year, as they can often prowl unnoticied around our premises seeking out that slightly ajar window or back door allowing them entry into your domain.

At Crime Prevention Products we stock a range of products that can help foil any attempt by an individual to steal, defraud or take advantage of you. The PIR Curtain Alarm is a great device which is designed to protect an open window or unlocked doorway by alerting you of an attempted entry. This product can also be used as a welcome chime, again alerting you that one of your family or friends has entered your premises.

Towards the end of this month, many of us can expect some of the local children to be chapping at our front doors, dressed up in many weird & wonderful costumes, all in an attempt to scare us and be rewarded in treats. Children and parents have been ‘Trick or Treating’ in this country for decades and in general this is all good harmless fun. However, there will be some criminals that are only too happy to take advantage of the old and vulnerable at this time of year.

These gangs operate by distracting the victim while one of the other members sneaks into your home and takes money, possessions or whatever they can carry. Crime Prevention Products have a wide range of anti-theft devices and home security products which will ensure you can feel safe in your own home long after the witching hour has come and gone.
