Security Systems Planning

In our planning, we use a multi-layered approach. We assess the estate in concentric rings in its location to ensure that an intruder is detected at the earliest opportunity. The aim of the recommendations are primarily to deter, impede, and detect a criminal.

Deter

To deter a criminal from attempting to trespass to commit burglary, it is vital that the criminal feels vulnerable within the perimeter. All criminals will risk assess their target and weigh whether the chance of being seen and arrested is more likely than getting away with the possessions they are hoping to steal. SecureTech uses crime prevention through environmental design techniques and defensible space theories to make the criminal believe that he will be caught in the act. By making recommendations that combine good ground keeping, physical barriers, and high tech security equipment, a deterrence is achieved.

Impede

If, however, the criminal decides the gains outweigh the risk and decides to take a chance, it is paramount that they are impeded in their attempt. At the perimeter and gates, intelligent solutions can make it more difficult to scale a wall or drive into the estate. All countermeasures that are recommended are considered to ensure they enhance the look of the estate. All recommendations will at least delay the criminal, allowing the police time to reach the property before the criminal reaches the home.

Detect

Detection at the earliest opportunity offers the family time to retreat into a safe area and call the police or allow their security staff to deal with the intrusion. Intruder detection systems and intelligent CCTV systems will alert the family to an intruder and allow them to observe from safety. The layers of security start at the furthest point from the residence and gradually close in on areas closer to the home, ending with the interior of the home. A crime pattern analysis affords a realistic picture of the prevalent crimes in that region. Together with the family’s profile, this offers intelligence as to where the threats lie.
