crime on your doorstep can

If a criminal is already on your doorstep, it could be too late. Break-ins are increasing at a

concerning rate. Home-owners need to take a proactive approach to protecting their family and

belongings.

Early warning detection systems keep you informed of any unwanted company, before they get to

your door. Upgrading your existing security by installing outdoor beams adds an additional level

of comfort.

According to the Institute for Security Studies, South Africa urgently needs a new approach to

crime prevention.

The recent release of 2014 crime statistics have shown that home robbery has increased by

7.4%. That's as many as 1 334 more cases reported than the previous year. Other crimes that

have shown an increase include business robbery and some more serious, violent crime.

There are no quick-fixes or short cuts to securing your home. By making informed choices when

installing or upgrading your home security system, you can rest assured that your home is

properly protected.

Prevention is better than cure. Installing an early detection system is becoming an essential asset

in the armoury of all security systems. Outdoor beams detect intruders as soon as they enter a

protected area. This gives you the opportunity to react in time.

Ensure that you use a fully licensed and reputable provider when making your choice. This way

you will get the best and most reliable systems.

At Chubb Fire and Security, our point to point security outdoor beams and outdoor detectors are

mounted externally and can be linked to your alarm system. If triggered, the alarm signal will

notify us and one of our security vehicles will respond immediately.

In case you didn't already know, point to point security incorporates advanced infrared beams.

When the path between the 2 points is broken, or motion is detected, the alarm will sound, with

the intention of scaring off the intruders.

If you're interested in improving your home security with outdoor beams contact Chubb Fire and

Security on 0861 002 211. Alternatively, you can find more information about the products we
