Tips on Improving the Security of Your London Home or Business

As you may well know, nothing is ever truly free when it comes to a product. This is especially true with companies offering “free” security systems that typically require a three-year contract for security monitoring. We recommend never settling on the first offer for a security package and always get several quotes from competitors. Ask us about self-monitoring — with no monthly fees!

It may seem counterintuitive, but from time to time, you should “case” your home, apartment or business in the same way a burglar might. Look for the easiest points of entry and develop plans to make your home burglar-resistant. Also, check to see if any valuables such as jewellery, electronics, artwork or computers are visible from your home’s exterior.

Many burglars will take advantage of brownouts and blackouts because they know most people — namely shop owners and homeowners — do not regularly change the backup battery of their security system. Your system’s battery is vital to its continued operation in instances when the power grid is down. We can help. IRS Security Systems offers battery maintenance, sales, installations and replacements for every type of security and alarm system.

You may be excited about an upcoming holiday away from home — just don’t announce it to the world! Residences without anyone home are always prime targets for burglars. You never know if your posts on social media sites such as Facebook may fall under the gaze of a potential burglar, so it’s always best to wait until you’re back home to share your family’s holiday photos.
