Light and Openness

Shrubs, trees, bushes and high fences add to the privacy we have come to enjoy around our properties. However these things can also become an asset to an intruder by providing them with places to hide behind and vantage points from which they can gain easy entry to your property.

Secom Guardall suggests that you take a walk around your property and identify any areas that could potentially be a problem. Trim back any trees situated near doors and windows. Use exterior sensor spot lights mounted out of easy reach around your property to force any intruder to face their enemy light.

Lights along a driveway which are activated by simply entering a driveway also give an instant message that the owner of this property has implemented security measures that will probably only get harder the closer intruder gets to their intended target… this is a great deterrent.
