Properties with visible deterrents are up to 80% less likely of being attacked !
Were you or a relative burgled during the cold dark winter months? Perhaps your Xmas last year was ruined and you swore that as soon as the weather changed, that you’d invest in some simple security solutions!
Recent reports suggest that instead of improving, Britain and Ireland have become the most burgled countries in the EU. The reality is that a break-in is nowadays probably more likely than you would like to think. Households where there are no security measures are up to 10 times more likely to be burgled.
The good news is that you can minimise the risk of it happening to you by following simple security guidelines. Ultimately, whether you opt for the bare essentials or the latest wizardry – everyone needs to take some security measures.

The current installation trend is moving away from Alarm systems in favour of CCTV, which is becoming increasingly popular with Home and Business users alike – not only for its benefits as a visual deterrent, but should the worst occur then you have the chance of catching the culprits using resulting video evidence.

Swann – Global Leader of DIY CCTV – offers a full range of cameras and solutions for Home and Business, starting from as low as £40.
