Security alarm installation in Geelong homes

December 18, 2014

Peace of mind when you’re on holidays

People are packing their cars in preparation for summer holidays across the region. But before you back out of your garage, vacation-bound, have you considered security alarm installation to protect your Geelong home while you’re gone?

At Sectrol Security Geelong (formerly Geelong Monitoring Services), our professional team installs quality alarms that give your house a warm blanket of security to keep burglars at bay and provide early warning of fire. From passive infrared detectors to smoke alarms, we’ve got you covered.

We also provide round-the-clock monitoring of all alarm systems, every day of the year, at our sophisticated monitoring centre. While you’re relaxing on holiday, you can be secure in the knowledge that we’re not – we’re keeping a careful watch over your castle.

While we recommend alarm installation as a key component to residential security, there are other steps you can also take to keep your property safe when you set off on your Christmas-New Year holiday.

These include:

  • Making sure all doors and windows are securely locked, your alarm system is on and you’ve let your security company know you’ll be away.
  • Not hiding your house key under your door mat or a nearby pot plant. According to an insurance company survey, one in five Aussies do leave their keys in obvious places.
  • Getting someone to clean junk mail, letters and newspapers from your mailbox. They’re a siren call for opportunistic burglars. If you can’t do that, cancel any newspapers you have delivered and put a hold on your mail.
  • Installing security lights, triggered by motion, on your home’s exterior. No offender likes to be in a spotlight. It might be enough to move them on.
  • Unplugging non-essential appliances, such as TVs and computers, to reduce risk of electrical faults triggering fire.
