How to avoid the entry of intruders protecting your garden

Most of the time when we talk about alarms, it comes to our mind all those security systems designed to protect our house and its interiors. From the typical alarm system with keyboard, to detectors for doors or more sophisticated installations.

We forget a very important part, though, if we have a house with a ground floor or a garden. Our outdoor spaces and the surroundings are equally or more important when it comes to preventing the entry of intruders into our house. The fact of having a garden allows us to take advantage of it as an extra barrier when it comes to protecting our home.

Here are some examples of how our exterior can be equipped to prevent the entry of unwanted people.

Physical barriers

The first measure that must be taken into account to protect our garden and perimeters is to install physical barriers, such as railings, shrubs or doors. These physical barriers, apart from offering protection, also allow us to define our private property in front of third parties.

Perimeter barriers

Already starting with the alarm systems, the first element in which we can pay attention to protect our garden is the perimeter barriers. These infrared barriers act as barriers to entry or exit.

They are formed by two devices placed in two different points. Both devices are connected to each other by infrared lines, invisible to the human eye, which will trigger the alarm if they are passed through.

They can be placed in windows or doors or for longer distances, acting as an invisible handrail.

Security cameras

Another very useful option is the installation of security cameras that can record the exteriors and accesses during 24h. In addition, in CIS Sierra we also have cameras with Head Vision technology. These latest technology cameras have built-in intrusion detectors so that if the cameras detect a movement in their perimeter of vision, they automatically trigger the alarm.

Also, with our SMART packs, we can connect the cameras with your mobile phone so that you can view them remotely at all times.

External movement sensors

As we have the internal motion sensors, we also have them ready for the exteriors and consequently for the inclement weather.

Our sensors, like the aforementioned cameras, have the necessary intelligent technology to avoid false alarms caused by pets, animals or even shadows.

Light

Probably one of the best resources against intruders is powerful lighting that turns on when the alarm goes off. Some powerful LED lights can be the best solution.

This installation is quite easy to carry out but it can be a very useful addition against theft.

In conclusion, the correct protection of our surroundings can take away many worries and can help us feel more secure in our house. If you are interested in any of these installations for your home or have any questions, we are always available to you. Our Girona office will attend you with pleasure!
