If you run a business in Liverpool or the surrounding North West region, maintaining security is going to be just important as it is in any big city. A commercial CCTV installation should ensure that your property is protected and monitored at all times. It gives you both peace of mind and security.

The latest systems on the market today are high quality and deliver almost pin sharp images that are certainly a step above the cameras of yesterday. Whether you have a CCTV installed or not, it’s worth undertaking an audit to ensure that you have the right system in place for the modern workplace and ensure your cameras are positioned correctly.

The Benefits of a Commercial CCTV Installation

• Of course, the first benefit is to act as a deterrent. Businesses are often targets for burglars and other nefarious individuals, especially in a busy city. Most criminals, however, like to get away with it. That means when they see a CCTV installation on your building or outside your office, they think twice about trying to break in.
• CCTV isn’t just useful for when your business closes up for the day. It can be a great form of security when your staff are hard at work. Providing a safe place for your employees to go about their business shows that you care. Criminals will often target premises, even when they are occupied, if they think they can get in and out easily without being stopped.
• CCTV is the perfect way to gather evidence. The HD cameras that are available nowadays provide high quality images and even sound that can help you understand what has gone on if a criminal act has been committed. Crimes can be solved and criminals prosecuted if you have good evidence.
• CCTV isn’t just about stopping criminal activity, however. It can help you keep an eye on areas of your business where you can’t attend personally. Some high tech systems can also be hooked up to your smartphone or computer so you can check what is going on remotely.
• If you have a commercial CCTV installation it can also lower your insurance premiums because you have adequate security measures in place.

With the clocks going back and the night’s drawing in, this is the perfect time of year to review your home security. Unfortunately, the cover of darkness provides criminals with the perfect conditions they need to avoid being caught, especially when they are trying to break into a home or other property.

According to the police, you are five times more likely to be the victim of a burglary if you don’t have security measures in place. The good news is there’s plenty you can do to deter anyone from thinking your property is an easy mark.

Locks for Doors and Windows

Certainly, the quickest way someone can get into your home is by breaking in through the doors or windows. If you have good quality ones installed and the latest high quality locks, you send a big message to any potential burglar. Essentially, people with criminal intent look for a quick and easy win and the last thing they want to do is spend too much time getting into your home.

Timers for Lights

If you are away from home on holiday or work shifts including at night, timers for your lights can also give the impression that there is someone at home. These simple devices basically switch on selected lights in your home at specific times. Another option, of course, is to include motion sensitive lighting outside which illuminates places like the garden or pathways and alleyways when someone approaches.

Night Vision CCTV Installation

Don’t underestimate the power of CCTV to not only deter potential burglars but also provide evidence if someone should try to break into your home. These systems have become increasingly sophisticated, cost effective and easy to use over the years and they’re well worth the investment if you want to keep your property secure.

Personal Changes

There are plenty of different things you can do as part of your daily security routine to keep your property safe. For example, checking that all windows and doors are properly locked before you leave for the day or keeping areas around your property clear so you can see the surrounding ground properly and there’s no place for potential burglars to hide. You can also remove valuable items from sight – check if you can see them from the window and move them if they are in full view. If you have some very high value items, then you might want to consider getting a suitable safe that can be secured and locked.

Get a Home Security Assessment

You can do a lot to evaluate your own home and change components like door locks to ensure that your home stays secure during the dark days of winter. It does help, however, to get the input of a qualified security professional. At NW Security Solutions, we can give you a detailed home security assessment which includes everything you can do to make your home safer and all the options that are open to you.

Based in Ormskirk,  Lancashire, we offer individual assessments to home owners within a twenty mile radius. If you want to find out more, contact us today to book an appointment.

We all want to stay safe at home. Undertaking a home security assessment can quickly highlight areas where you can improve your property and ensure that you reduce the possibility of being burgled or the victim of other crimes.

At NW Security, we have several years of experience in providing home owners and businesses around the North West with the advice they need to improve their overall safety.

The Benefits of a Home Security Assessment

Whether you live in a vulnerable area or feel completely at ease in your own neighbourhood, it always pays to take your personal security seriously. The good news is that crime levels have been falling in recent years – the bad news is that there are still plenty of people out there who want to break into properties and steal things.

During a home security assessment, we’ll visit your property and outline what we think are the best ways to improve your safety. That may be options such as clearing space in your back yard so that you have a better view or don’t provide cover, perhaps making a wall less easy for someone to get over or putting in new, highly secure doors and windows.

There may be other things that you can use such as CCTV to send a clear message to any potential burglars that they are being watched. We can also give advice on smaller measures such as property identification and tagging or how not to display your most expensive items such as TVs and computers in the window.

The truth is that burglars generally don’t want to put themselves at risk. They tend to look for places where they can get in and out with ease – the longer they need to spend working on a door lock or opening a window, the more likely they are to be noticed and caught. You may have areas of your home such as the front door which are reasonably secure but haven’t noticed weak points such as a set of old patio doors at the back that can be more easily accessed.

The other part of any assessment, unfortunately, is to look at the area you live in. Some homes are more vulnerable than others simply because they are in a high-risk area. Increasing options like lighting can make a difference, particularly if you park your car outside.

NW Security Solutions is a family owned firm that specialises in locksmith services and security products such as CCTV. While a big part of our service is responding to sudden problems such as a broken door lock or lost car keys, we also believe that giving good, sound security advice to people is just as important. Our home assessment can highlight all the area where you can improve your security and reduce the risk of being burgled.

We operate across the North West, including Liverpool, Southport, Ormskirk, St Helens and Skelmersdale. If you would like to take a closer look at your home security and find out what improvements you can make, contact us today to arrange an appointment.

After a local business suffered a break in which cost the owner thousands of pounds in damage and missing stock they decided it was time to bring in the experience and expertise of NW Security Solutions.

M&D Allyn based in Skelmersdale is a family business co-owned by Mark Trevarton which sells cleaning products and equipment. Unfortunately, in February 2017 they suffered a break in. The thieves rammed open the buildings security gates, stole two vans and thousands of pounds worth of stock as well as causing extensive damage within the building.

Thankfully for M&D Allyn they had previously been a client of NW Security Solutions. Before the break in we installed tracking devices on the companies vehicles, meaning that the vans were swiftly located after the break in. Our service didn’t end there, on the successful recovery of the company vans it was apparent that the thieves still potentially had in their possession the keys to both vehicles as they were not recovered. Our team deleted the old keys and reprogrammed new keys for the Renault Master vans. In addition to reprogramming the keys our company owner Neil Williams was able to install a new lock and ignition system rendering the old keys completely useless which provided M&D Allyn real peace of mind.

In March 2017 we installed sixteen CCTV cameras covering both the inside and outside of the building. The cameras are extremely high resolution, provide night vision and sense motion which then automatically takes and sends a picture screenshot via email. Our installation included the setup of mobile phone integration meaning the owners are able to check what is happening both inside and outside of their building night and day from anywhere in the world.

Finally, to ensure complete security and peace of mind we created a new and super secure setup for the storage of CCTV data.

If your business premises could benefit from CCTV installation or increased security please get in touch and a member of our friendly team will arrange a consultation. We are based in Ormskirk, Lancashire and work right across Lancashire and Merseyside. Call us on 0800 634 9163
