Running a business from home is becoming more and more popular. From beauty treatments to baking cakes, there are so many ways the property you live in can be used to deliver goods and services. How though, do you make sure that security is up to scratch? Here are some top tips to improve security for your home and protect your business.
Invest in a Home Security Camera
One of the most effective security measures you can put into place is a home security camera system. CCTV acts as a deterrent to potential intruders and allows you to closely monitor activity around your home. We have many years of experience when it comes to installing security cameras and will make sure that your system gives you the coverage that you need.
Install an Intruder Alarm System
An intruder alarm is another must-have for any home business security setup. A loud alarm can scare off intruders and alert you and your neighbours to anyone trying to gain entry to your property. We have a huge range of alarm systems for our customers to choose from, and they can be combined with CCTV to give you an additional level of security.
Secure Your Entry Points
Many break-ins occur due to weak doors and windows. Strengthening these entry points can significantly reduce your risk of being the victim of a break-in. It’s a good idea to install deadbolts and reinforce door frames, and you can even upgrade to smart locks that allow you to control access remotely.
Control Access to Certain Areas
If you have customers visiting your home, it’s really important to control access to areas where sensitive information and possessions might be stored. You should always set aside a specific area for business activities that is separate from your personal living space, and keep valuable equipment and documents locked away when not in use.
Invest in Outdoor Lighting
Good lighting is a really simple, yet effective, security measure. Motion-activated lights can deter intruders, and it is a good idea to install them in the following areas:
- Driveways and pathways leading to your home
- Entry points such as front and back doors
- Around any outbuildings or storage areas
Get Along with Your Neighbours
Yes, you heard us right! Having a good relationship with your neighbours can be invaluable for security. Neighbours can help by keeping an eye on your property when you’re away and reporting any suspicious activity. You shouldn’t rely on this alone, but another set of eyes on your property can only be a good thing. In return, you could offer them a discount on any services or products you provide!
Regularly Review Your Security
Your needs can change over time, so it’s important to regularly take a look at your home security system. We’re experts at helping business owners update their systems and can do things like adding additional cameras or sensors if your business expands. We also keep up to date on the latest technology and can tell you about any innovations you might benefit from.
