In 2019/20, there were over 402,000 burglaries across the UK. Despite this staggering figure, that’s a reduction of 40,000 compared with the previous year. Going further back to 2002/3, there were almost one million burglaries, which suggests that as safety gets more sophisticated, this type of crime is becoming more difficult to enact.
So, what can you do to enhance your security?
A home entry system provides an alternative form of access to your home, as opposed to the standard lock and key system. It often features an intercom with a camera and buzzer, allowing you to physically see who is at the door before letting them in via an electronic control. Whether you live in a townhouse flat or detached bungalow, having a home entry system installed brings several different benefits.
Benefits of a home entry system
1. Home entry systems are a great deterrent
Potential burglars are much more likely to avoid your property if you have enhanced security at your access points. For thieves and burglars, a home access point means that they are more likely to get caught on camera and that the property will be harder to get into. In fact, one of the top deterrents – as admitted by ex-burglars in a series of interviews – is CCTV.
2. They can lower your insurance premiums
Along with other failsafe factors such as burglar alarms and CCTV, a home entry system can reduce your insurance premiums. Before installing your quality home entry system, have a look around at which insurance suppliers can offer you the best rate for doing so.
3. You’ll enjoy peace of mind
Whether you’re at work or on holiday, you’ll be able to focus or relax, safe in the knowledge that you have the best security possible protecting your home and possessions. It’s also a great way to keep track of deliveries and anybody else who might be visiting your home while you’re away.
4. Protect vulnerable loved ones with a home entry system
Whether you live with an elderly relative or young children, you’ll want to know that they are protected if you’re ever away from the house for an amount of time. With a home entry system, nobody will be able to approach the house and put them at risk.
5. Home entry systems are great for commercial buildings, too
If you own a small business and have office or warehouse premises, a home entry system could be a great option to keep you and staff members protected while at work. Any access is granted by the touch of a button, which can also make things like deliveries much easier.
