The versatility of security lighting goes beyond its popular use in deterring crime, as it is also an effective solution for enhancing the feeling of safety in your driveway or garden. With our team at FirstEye, we offer expert installation of security lighting that caters to all budget ranges and needs, offering an affordable way to boost your home security.

Here’s how security lighting can prove advantageous for you and your loved ones:

• Security lighting serves as an excellent pre-emptive strategy. Burglars tend to favour poorly lit areas where they can go unnoticed. By brightly illuminating the outdoor spaces of your home such as the garden, driveway, or alleyways, you make your property a less attractive target for potential intruders.
• At FirstEye, we set up LED security floodlights which are not only high in output but are also energy-efficient and cost-effective to operate. This makes them an eco-friendly option to augment your home’s safety.
• Additionally, security lighting can complement other security devices in your home, like CCTV systems. It significantly improves the image quality captured by security cameras during night-time. Plus, efficient security lighting can also draw attention to your alarm system’s bell box, serving as another dissuasive element.

Preventing crime is undoubtedly a more desirable approach than dealing with its aftermath. It’s important to remember that burglars generally opt for homes that are easiest to infiltrate. If your home lacks adequate protection, we encourage you to reach out to us to explore how we can assist in enhancing its security.

Rural areas are often seen as idyllic places to live and work, but they can also be vulnerable to crime. Thieves often target isolated homes, farms, and businesses where they can operate without being seen. Protecting your rural property is crucial, and prevention is key. By installing a security system, you can deter potential criminals and keep your property safe.

At FirstEye, we have extensive experience working with clients in rural areas, providing bespoke security solutions to meet their needs. Our range of security systems includes alarms and CCTV, which offer reliable, cost-effective protection. With advances in technology, you can now receive security alerts directly to your mobile phone or tablet, giving you peace of mind no matter where you are.

Our team will work with you to design and install a system tailored to your property’s unique requirements, ensuring comprehensive protection. CCTV is an excellent way to protect both the interior and exterior of your property, including outbuildings and farm equipment. The presence of security cameras is often enough to deter criminals from attempting a break-in.

Protecting our homes and families is, of course, one of our top priorities. One way to achieve this is by installing a CCTV system. However, while a CCTV system can be an excellent security measure, it is important to use it correctly and within the bounds of the law.

If your home is protected by a CCTV system, it is important to ensure that the system complies with government guidelines, and that it respects the privacy of others. One of the primary considerations is to ensure that the cameras are positioned so that they only capture images within the boundary of your private property, including the garden. If the cameras capture images of people outside of these boundaries, such as your neighbours’ homes and gardens, public footpaths, streets, or shared spaces, then the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018 will apply.

To ensure that you use your CCTV system responsibly, there are a few things to consider before installing it. One of the most important things to keep in mind is to position the cameras in the most privacy-friendly way possible, so as not to intrude on your neighbours’ privacy or public spaces. Additionally, consider which areas you want the cameras to capture, whether you need to record the images or whether a live feed is adequate, and whether or not the cameras capture images outside of your boundaries. If the cameras do not capture images outside your property, then data protection laws do not apply.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, many people have been holding off on major life changes such as moving house. However, as life has pretty much returned to normal, more and more people are now making plans to move. If you’re one of those people, it’s important not to overlook security when looking for your new home. By considering home security early on, you can save yourself a lot of stress and expense down the line.

• Here are a few things to keep in mind when assessing the safety and security of a potential property:
• Ask locals about the area – their local knowledge can be invaluable.
• Consider the safety of the area at night – it can be very different from the daytime.
• Check if the property has a security system, and if so, how reliable it is.
• Look for security lighting around the property.
• If the property has a burglar alarm, ensure you receive the code and manual from the previous owners. If the alarm hasn’t been serviced recently, arrange for a service appointment.
• If there is no alarm system, consider having one installed to prevent potential break-ins.
• Organise home insurance coverage as soon as possible, and ensure you have adequate coverage for your needs.
• Don’t forget to check garages, sheds, and outbuildings where you might store valuable items like bikes and sports equipment. Consider installing an alarm system for added protection.
• Security lighting is a simple and cost-effective way to enhance your home security. If the property doesn’t have outside lights, consider having them installed.

When it comes to protecting your home or business premises, the question of whether to install a CCTV system or a burglar alarm is a common one. However, there is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as several factors need to be considered.

Firstly, cost-effectiveness should be taken into account. A CCTV system may be more expensive than a burglar alarm, and regular maintenance is required to ensure that it continues to be effective. Alternatively, installing both a security alarm and CCTV system may be the best option.

While CCTV cameras can act as a strong deterrent for potential thieves, they are only effective retrospectively without remote monitoring. Remote monitoring provides a better opportunity to catch intruders in the act, with those monitoring the system alerting you or the emergency services as soon as an incident occurs. However, in most cases, a remotely monitored CCTV system is sufficient to deter intruders.

Similarly, burglar alarms are more effective when monitored. Rather than relying on a bell-only system, a monitored alarm can alert either yourself, an emergency contact or the police when triggered. This allows for a professional assessment of the risk to security and can provide peace of mind to homeowners and business owners alike.

Ultimately, the decision between a CCTV system and a burglar alarm depends on individual circumstances. By taking into account factors such as cost, maintenance, and monitoring, you can make an informed decision to ensure the protection of your property.
