If you have wondered what you can do to increase the security of your Hawaii property, continue reading as we share a few different and effective ways to keep your space safe and secure.

Invest in Video Surveillance Cameras

Adding video surveillance cameras to your property comes with some obvious security advantages. The mere sight of security cameras alone can be alarming for anyone who may be trespassing on your property or hatching a plan to break-in. With security cameras, you’ll always know what is happening in and around your home, business, or rental property. Thanks to technology advancements, smart video surveillance cameras are available and can be linked to your personal devices, allowing you to stream live video of your property, whether you are there or not.

Utilize Motion-Activated Lights

Keeping an eye on your entire property can bring a unique challenge, especially at night and even more so if you have a lot of land. One way to help increase the security of your property is to install motion-activated lights outside your house or building. These lights are designed to turn on every time that movement is detected. Motion-activated lights are a cost-effective way to alert you of movement on your property and also act as a deterrent for potential trespassers. Motion-activated lights are most often placed along the driveway of a property, near front and back doors, garages, and other areas.

Install Alarms in All Structures

Installing security alarms is another great way to amplify the security measures of your property. All areas of your home, business, or rental property that house valuables need to be secured, and security alarms offer an effective solution. When alarms are installed within structures of your property, the chances of burglaries will likely decrease. When properly installed, an audible and visual alarm is activated whenever a door or window is forcibly opened. Many security alarm systems will offer mobile alerts as well as 24/7 monitoring solutions where operators can dispatch authorities if needed.

Consider Adding an Access Control Gate

If your property doesn’t already have a gated driveway, adding one will definitely help increase security measures. Burglars and trespassers who see an access control gate when they pull into a driveway will likely not want to even bother attempting to gain access to the property. Installing commercial or residential driveway gates creates an additional barrier between you and intruders. Access control gate systems also enable property owners to control who is coming and going and even create a log of when, who, and how many times the gate or door is opened. These systems also enable the creation of unique codes to allow specific visitors or family members access.

Incorporating all of the above suggestions into your property will certainly increase your security measures. Remember, each property is unique and the best security solutions may differ from one property to the next. Working with professionals, like those at Centra Systems Hawaii, is a great way to determine which solutions are best for you.
