Why install CCTV at home?

At ATL Alarms we spend our lives helping our clients to keep their houses and workplaces safe from intruders. And increasingly, we’re installing both intruder alarms and CCTV systems for domestic customers who are keen to protect their most valuable and personal asset – their home. Everyone understands the benefits of having a burglar alarm, but sometimes the value of an effective CCTV set up can be overlooked.

Here are our top ten reasons for installing CCTV at home:

1. CCTV can deter people from committing offences or causing criminal damage both inside and outside your home. A deterrent can be worth its weight in gold, especially if it prevents an intruder violating your private space.
2. CCTV is an efficient way of gathering evidence of criminal activity, should the worst happen and a crime be committed.
3. A CCTV system can capture an image of a caller at your door before you open it, so that you know exactly who you will be faced with.
4. CCTV can keep watch over any vehicles parked in your driveway, which can be reassuring at night or if you are away.
5. CCTV can also allow you to watch the inside and outside of your property remotely when you’re at work, out shopping or on holiday.
6. CCTV can give you a picture of activity when you’re away, for example by tracking deliveries or collections.
7. With CCTV you can also keep tabs on anyone carrying out work on or at your home when you’re out, including domestic cleaners, builders and window cleaners.
8. CCTV also allows you to keep tabs on your children’s comings and goings if you are away from home for a period.
9. CCTV is also valuable when you’re at home, as you can monitor your garden and outbuildings from the comfort of your armchair.
10. And finally, CCTV can help you check on your children’s movements if they have a habit of sneaking out after bedtime...

So all in all, CCTV is a very powerful tool for protecting and managing your home round the clock.

As Stuart Drummond, owner of ATL Alarms confirms, demand for CCTV has been on the increase since lockdown measures have been eased to some degree. ‘We’re finding that customers are increasingly looking at their home security, especially now that some restrictions have been lifted and we are able to move around more freely,’ comments Stuart. ‘We believe that the time that everyone has spent at home has helped them appreciate how precious their personal space is, and that it is now more important than ever to protect it from unwanted guests. At ATL we’re able to carry out a site survey and design a bespoke system for every property to ensure that all angles are covered. We can then install quality cameras and wireless monitoring to ensure that, should the worst happen and a break-in or crime occur, our customer has evidence that will stand up in court.’
