Home security is one of the most important investments a home owner can ever make. While great fencing built by a certified fence contractor provides a measure of privacy and peace of mind, no vinyl fence can cover every eventuality. Go the extra mile with a CCTV system to cover all bases and really add that layer of safety that makes a house into a home. A CCTV system is the perfect complement to any home fencing installation. With proper distribution of camera coverage, no section of property will go unobserved. Intruders facing a professionally installed CCTV system will not be able to approach a home without crossing a line of observation. Potential burglars and stalkers facing the possibility of having their image captured and recorded will think twice about casing a home for victimization. On site or off site recording capabilities ensure that captured footage can be used by police and other law enforcement. Closed circuit television systems are a reliable and proven deterrent against unwanted intrusion, and the same fencing contractor that installed your vinyl fence can provide full professional camera coverage as well. Additional security measures may be added to your existing fencing in the form of an intercom, and perimeter or interior access and alarm system. A perimeter access system will allow you to control access to your home and grounds by controlling who is allowed on the property. Used in conjunctions with a strong vinyl fence and a professionally installed CCTV system, a perimeter access system provides full security over admittance to your property. Access systems may take the form of a keypad or card access system. A keypad uses a secure alpha-numeric passcode to control an electronic locking system. You have no keys to lose, but you will have to memorize a coded number, and anyone with the correct code may gain access. Card access systems require a physical passkey to enter. Access is limited to keycards, but you will have to carry the card with you. Interior access and alarm systems use the same methods of entry as a perimeter system, and are subject to the same limitations. An interior system guards the perimeter of the home rather than the property. The professional contractor that installed the perimeter system can also install the home unit, and the two systems may be tied together for increased security. Depending on the desired level of security, an outside monitored access system may also gain control of the CCTV system in the event of an incident and actively monitor the premises. Finally, an intercom unit provides an ideal means of communication between security stations in the house and at the perimeter. The intercom unit may also act as point of access control, allowing the operator to admit or deny access through secure points of entry as well as communicate. All of these units may be installed by your fencing contractor. When combined with a professional fencing installation, the whole package dramatically increases the security of your home.
