Security after quarantine: home and office defensive

Quarantine has made many think about security. After all the crisis leads to a crime rate in any way. Already we get alert signals about significant thief rates from our friends and partners.
Every day more and more offices and apartments are left without supervision, replenishing the list of potential goals for criminals.

Some advice from MEGATEH

• Pay particular attention to the front door. It should be made of thick sheet metal, with hidden loops and the most reliable lock.

• Set the door lock alarm. The alarm works like this: miniature switches are installed in the lock holes in the door frame, and connected to the sensor. When trying to open the lock, the switch button is depressed, and the sensor raises the alarm — the sirens turn on and a notification is sent to users. The system will detect thieves even before they enter the room. !

• For private houses, secure the perimeter of our territory. Replacing concrete fences and barbed wire comes to an effective security system with the monitoring of security companies connected. In this case, the time for hacking is always limited by the arrival time of the patrol, and it will arrive in no more than 10 minutes.

• Install video surveillance cameras are an important element of security, especially for retail and office premises, as well as the territory of the house. The very presence of video surveillance discourages thieves, being an indicator that the object is under vigilant protection. If they nevertheless take risks, then the cameras will at least record their out-of-placeness, actions, and ways of penetration. o Also, with proper installation, the identity of the offender will be established.

• Provide emergency communications and notification methods. Protection may not only be necessary for the property. In case of an open intrusion and a threat to personal safety, get an alarm button. With its help, with one click you will call the patrol of a security company for help and notify loved ones of danger. If an alarm keypad is installed at the door, set the code for coercion and teach relatives or colleagues how to use it.

• Set up and plan a night security mode. Even if they enter the house when you sleep, the security system will raise an alarm.

• Install sirens outside the house. Their loud sound will attract the attention of neighbors when you are in danger, and will also warn about the danger of other residents of the quarter, the street.

• Be prudent. Responsibly to the information that you share in social networks. Pay technology to your advantage. Using smart lights, rosettes, or alarms, set up automation scripts that will mimic the work of your business, turning lights or music on and off.
