CCTV and Security Cameras

Live camera feeds such as CCTV and security cameras use a wide variety of sensors such as audio recorders, motion detectors, break glass triggers, and door and window sensors to ensure that there’s no such thing as a false alarm. When wired, configured and operated correctly by a qualified electrical professional, both indoor and outdoor camera systems can be one of the best ways to protect your home against any unsavoury characters or intruders that don’t have your permission to be on the premises. 

Security Alarms

A security alarm is a system designed to detect intrusion, such as unauthorised entry, into a building or other areas such as a home or school. ​Properties that are left unsecured with no functioning electronic security system are much more likely to suffer a break-in, even if that property has few valuable items that a criminal might want to steal. Thieves are generally opportunistic, but may not see any visual indications of a security alarm until it’s too late for them, and the authorities have already been contacted. 

Access Control

From the gates, warehouses and parking areas to each internal department, floor or room, access control systems are most commonly used for commercial or industrial style properties that are either legally obligated to monitor access, or wish to protect their visitors, employees, equipment, data or even overall privacy. For the latter in particular, access control systems both authenticate and authorise individuals to access the information they are allowed to see and use, keeping other members of the general public locked out.

Intercoms

An intercom is a two way communication system which allows you to speak, or speak and see for video systems, to someone before permitting them access to your property. Alternatively, intercoms can provide an inter-building communication system allowing family members or staff to speak to people in other areas of the building. More often than not, they are often deployed with either electric gates or access control systems, and depending on the nature of your property, sometimes both. 

Electric Gates

Installing an electric gate system for your home or workplace is the first line of defence against intruders, particularly if you’re concerned about vehicles. How they work can vary significantly depending on your own individual needs, such as automated security gates that use ‘triggers’ such as remotes, loop detectors, safety beams, intercoms, keypads, licence plate recognition cameras and access control systems. Gates and posts are often fabricated from aluminium, as this is the preferred material thanks to its strength and durability.

Before you start shopping for Brisbane security systems, it’s worth consulting with the professionals to ensure that you select a system best suited to your own individual needs. While partnering with a licensed electrician is always recommended to ensure that your selected systems are properly wired and installed from day one, enlisting qualified security advisors is also a good idea to make sure that your system is right for you – but what if you could have both services from the one business?
