Time to check all those home security systems that you have. Very often I see footage where the CCTV cameras are covered in cobwebs and/or dirty lenses. Get those dusters out and give them a clean.
Make sure that the timings are correct. We all make sure our clocks are changed twice a year but often forget about our CCTV systems. It only takes a few moments to alter the time/date.
Give the house alarm a service – checking that PIR’s are also clean and all in working order. Think about adding to your system and have door and window sensors fitted.
More crime prevention advice can be found on the Northamptonshire Police website and on the Neighbourhood Watch website.
