Home and business security means much more than locking doors. Security systems can range from straightforward CCTV solutions to advanced access control systems.
Why Security Systems Are More Important Than Ever
According to the Office of National Statistics, UK crime rates are up 7% from this time last year. But many other reports indicate burglary crimes have decreased 10% in the last 12 months, and down 70% since 2002, indicating that advanced security systems are keeping unwanted intruders away.
Having advanced security systems installed on your premises can also keep rising insurance prices down. Most insurance companies now offer discounts for properties with these systems in place.
Types of Security Systems
Understanding these four types of security systems can help you understand which solutions are best for your property.
CCTV Systems (Video Surveillance)
CCTV Systems don’t just provide 24/7 video surveillance; they deter unwanted intruders and provide solid evidence if an incident occurs.
For a professional CCTV installation and setup, remote monitoring, and high-definition video surveillance, check out our CCTV Systems for 24/7 protection.
Intruder Alarms
An intruder alarm system doesn’t catch a crime in the act, but instead detects, deters, and delays unauthorised access.
Our expert team at Eden can help you select and install intruder alarm systems that detect and deter unwanted personnel, keeping your home or business property safe.
Fire Alarm Systems
It is recommended that homeowners should test their fire alarms monthly, whereas, UK businesses are legally required to test weekly and professional maintenance every 6 months. Many fire alarm systems integrated in businesses are now connected to an ARC (Alarm Receiving Centre) where the fire brigade is automatically alarmed when the building is empty.

Access Control System
Access control systems have evolved massively in recent years. Newer, more advanced systems are now more than the simple lock and key mechanism, and instead are turning into digital ecosystems that don’t just manage who can access the premise, but also when and how they interact with the building.

Which Security System is Best for You?
The security systems you need depends on if it’s a home or business. Both types of properties should have all four of the systems mentioned above, but it is recommended and sometimes legally required for businesses to have more advanced security systems.
