How security systems can deter and prevent home invasions

Securing Your Home: The Importance of House Security Systems

Your home is your sanctuary—a place where you should feel safe and protected. However, with burglary rates on the rise, it’s becoming increasingly important to take proactive measures to safeguard your property and loved ones. This is where house security systems play a crucial role, whilst keeping informed about updated technologies in security.

A relatively new technology to emerge is the Deterrence Security Cameras. Cameras with this technology use flashing strobe lights and sirens to deter unwanted intruders that enter your property. You have the ability to set certain periods to arm the cameras. In a very short time they have proved to be very effective at stopping criminals in their tracks.

Perimeter Detection is another security alarm technology that more people are leaning towards to protect their home. Perimeter detection involves the installation of sensors on your doors and windows that can be activated with a “Stay” whilst you are in your home. This can be turned on whilst you are sleeping and if someone enters the property the alarm will immediately activate.

House Security Systems offer a multitude of benefits beyond just deterring burglars. One of the most significant advantages is the peace of mind they provide you. With features such as motion sensors, door and window sensors, and surveillance cameras, as mentioned above. You can monitor your property remotely and receive real-time alerts in case of any suspicious activity.

Furthermore, investing in a house security system can lead to significant cost savings in the long run. Many insurance companies offer discounts on homeowners’ insurance premiums for properties equipped with security systems. By reducing the risk of burglary and property damage, you can enjoy lower insurance rates while ensuring the safety of your home and your belongings.

In addition to protecting against burglaries, house security systems can also offer other benefits such as fire detection, and emergency medical response. These added features further enhance the safety and security of your home, providing comprehensive protection for you and your family.

In conclusion, the benefits of house security systems cannot be overstated. From Deterring burglars and minimising the risk of break-ins to providing you peace of mind and reducing insurance premiums, investing in a security system is a smart decision for any homeowner. So, don’t wait until it’s too late—take proactive steps to secure your home and protect what matters most. Reach out to our team at Jim’s 131 546 and we will be happy to accommodate your needs.

I am very happy with the service provided during installation and customer service there after. The system is absolutely perfect. Thank you to Danny for sorting out our security concerns.

Would highly recommend Jim’s Security to anyone. Glen and George both very thorough from quoting right through to installation. George was amazing. He talked us through the app and was more than happy to adjust the cameras to ensure we were 100% happy. Well done team.

Danny was very helpful and accommodating when it came to the selection and installation of our alarm system. It was fairly priced and he was able to fit us in on short notice. He also came back to relocate a sensor without hesitation and charge. Would highly recommend.

Had Anish come out for a quote & was punctually on time. I told him what I required & he chose the best system for my business premises. Punctually came out on time, again to fit out the system which took him no time to fit then even followed up the next day to iron out a few minor kinks. All this in a great price! Thank you Anish, a fantastic job well done. Highly recommended service & technical know how at a great price. AAA+

Danny from Jim's Security Austral did a fantastic job in all my Hikvision Alarm/Doorbell and CCTV residential installation. Plus helping me to follow up my warranty claim from the supplier. Don't look further just get him for a piece of mind on Hikvision.

Had George out today to install a new alarm system. He was so polite, professional and helpful. Extremely happy with the service and would highly recommend.

Daniel was fantastic. Very friendly, efficient and helpful. He took time to explain how the whole security app worked for me and was patient with me, whilst I fumbled through learning to use it. Would highly recommend.

Extremely professional and knowledgeable. Price competitive. Jordan, who installed our system, was fantastic! The installation went smoothly.

Alex was very friendly and overall really good service and no hesitations to call him again. Yes I recommend!

I had Andre from Jim’s Security install a camera system for me which included 2 alarm cameras. The system works fantastic!

From initial quote, inspection and installation, Danny has been highly professional throughout. He was very patient with us whilst we quoted other places for a deal and even offered us a competitive price which sold us. He has very high knowledge in this industry and made our whole experience very seamless. Danny takes the time to ensure we understand the systems and are comfortable with everything before he leaves. We can see that Danny genuinely cares about his customers. We will definitely refer him to people who require the same service.

Very happy. Turned up on time. Did a great job. No fuss and cleaned up after himself. Helped me set the app up on my phone too.

We got referred to Marko from Baulkham Hills by our family friends as we wanted to get professional help to install cable cameras in the house we moved in January of this year. Marko was able to come meet us, review the area and recommend us where and the number of cameras we need. He gave us a reasonable price and then installed the cameras within a day. He also supported us in installing the app and follow up questions we had. We have found Marko to be very professional and had an amazing customer experience so far. We would not hesitate to recommend Marko or seek his services again.

Louie was prompt, professional friendly and quick. He knew his job well & provided all information of how to use the cameras. Thanks for a great job.

Honesty is the best policy and I am happy to say I’ll be recommending them to all my neighbors. It’s really hard to find people that actually want to get the best for you and Jim’s did. Thankyou

Gregg was quick to respond to my enquiries, turned up when he said he would and did a great job installing and teaching us how to use our video system.

George was fantastic with the installation of my Swann security system. He listened to my areas of concerns around securing my property and ensured that all access points were covered by the cameras we wanted installed.

They diligently ensured the sensors and brackets were mounted seamlessly. Fantastic workmanship and excellent customer service - highly recommend!

Tim’s team at Jim Security did a fantastic job installing a brand new 4K 7 camera security system along with a well functioning alarm system. The guys did an outstanding job with the cabling through what was a challenging house. You can’t see anything. The cameras were positioned well, and all aspects of how to use the new tech were explained clearly and in detail. From the moment of quote through to supply and install, you simply couldn’t fault them. 20/10, will 💯 use them again in the future. Thanks again guys!

We wouldn't be happier with our service from Tim and the team. Super professional, great products and advice, and a really thorough installation. The techs spend plenty of time showing us how to use the devices and were all really polite and respectful. I wish all contractors were like this!

My whole experience with Jims Security was a breeze. I rang the receptionist and she booked it in for a time that suited me. Half an hour before he arrived I got a call he was on his way which I appreciated. He was extremely friendly, followed all covid safe protocol and cleaned up after himself. (New sockets in walls left plaster dust) I would definitely use again if I needed any more jobs done and I would recommend to friends and family.

He has also been easy to contact with any questions since it has been installed - no helplines or call out fees like other companies! We are very happy we went with someone local, and will be using Shaun in the future.

Great guys. Communication from start to finish was excellent. Jordan was really good with the installation. He took pride in his work and wanted to deliver the best service he could. He tried hard to meet all our requirements and where it wasn't possible, through no fault of his own, he would offer up a number of alternatives and ask how WE would like to proceed. Would gladly recommend.
