Sharing this week’s essential property security and safety tips:

Security Lighting
- Assess current outdoor lighting to determine if upgrades are needed for longer nights.
- Consider installing traditional LED security lighting with a photocell for dusk-to-dawn operation.
- Evaluate the need for motion-activated lighting using passive infrared or microwave detectors for energy efficiency and added security.
- Upgrade to a minimum of 10-watt LED security floodlight with an adjustable passive infrared detector for targeted areas.
Security Lighting with Cameras
- Review existing security lights to see if they need replacing or upgrading to models with integrated cameras.
- Explore options for combined light and camera units that connect via Ethernet, WiFi and smartphone apps for remote monitoring.
Video Doorbells
- Install or upgrade to a video doorbell for surveillance and parcel delivery notifications.
- Set up motion detection alerts to monitor activity at your front door, even if the doorbell isn’t pressed.
Access Control
- Evaluate the need for access control systems such as keypads, video intercoms, or electronic locks for offices or properties.
- Install vandal-resistant entry systems or touch WiFi monitor kits for enhanced entry management.
Surveillance Camera Systems

- Install wireless WiFi cameras for flexible placement and easy monitoring via mobile apps.
