Motion detector as burglary protection

  • 5 years ago

If you want to protect yourself and your property from burglars, you would be well advised to equip your house with motion detectors. Because if the property lights up, this deters intruders and increases security. Whether in front of the house entrance, at the garage entrance or at the entrance to the basement, when installing the motion detectors, make sure that they are placed high enough and that the angle of the sensor field is wide enough.

Depending on how large the area to be monitored is, there are motion detectors that can only cover one corner with the safety sensor or devices with 360-degree coverage. Residents should also think about the choice of a suitable light source. For example, it is recommended to install recessed spotlights in the entrance area, while bollard and path lights are particularly suitable for dark garden paths or for the house driveway. The use of spotlights or spotlights can further increase burglary protection.

It is important not to forget about any dark and hidden place on the house when installing motion detectors. At best, each entrance to the house should be equipped with a sensor and illuminated in the event of movement. In addition to outdoor lighting, it is also important to provide sufficient light sources indoors. During longer absences, the lighting system can be controlled with the help of a timer.
