4 Tips to Keep Your Property Secure Over the Festive Season

When it comes to taking security measures during the festive season, it’s never too early to start planning.

December is the season to be jolly, but November is the season to put extra security measures in place. That’s why we at Australian Security Company, are advising our clients to rethink their business and home security.

During the festive season, many businesses close down. Homes are also left empty while people visit family or go on holiday. This, unfortunately, provides the perfect opportunity for chance-takers and criminals.

Here are our security tips and suggestions for the festive season:

1) Festive season safety: Hire security guards

As mentioned in our blog,‘3 benefits security patrol services provide businesses’, having security guards patrolling your premises act as a deterrent. Having security guards on site means they can assess a situation and act immediately.

2) Festive season safety: Increase security patrols

We’d hate for a break in or theft to ruin your festive cheer. That’s why we strongly advise businesses to increase their security patrols.

At Australian Security Company, our patrol services are available throughout Australia, including Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sydney and Melbourne. Our patrolmen work throughout our operational area in specialised security vehicles, patrolling 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Regardless of the time of year, we are available for immediate response to any alarm activations or perceived threat. Ultimately, our mobile patrol service ensures that your premises remains locked, protected and is secure during the night.

3) Festive season safety: Install a CCTV camera system

CCTV camera systems are also a highly recommended security measure. With our state-of-the-art alarm monitoring centre, we can use alarm video verification to watch your premises when you’re not there. Video verification allows us to make tactical and proactive decisions should your CCTV system notify us of any unauthorised entry or activity while you͛re on holiday.

4) Festive season safety: Make sure your alarm system & information is up to date With the excitement of the festive season, many people forget to check their alarm systems and update them. As mentioned in our blog An Outdated Home Security System Could Cost You’, older security systems are easy to hack and bypass, which is why it͛s vital to update your system.

If you will be away over the festive season please ensure that you have also updated your contact details with our Alarm Monitoring Centre.

If you’re not sure if your alarm system needs an update, or you͛d like to find out more about securing your home or business over the festive season, contact us and we͛ll provide you with an obligation-free security assessment.
