Security advice for detached houses

1

Detached homes have more entry points on average: front, back, and side doors plus garage access. A multi-zone alarm covering all perimeter doors and ground-floor windows is recommended.

2

Because detached homes are not overlooked by immediate neighbours, monitored alarms that alert a response centre are particularly effective.

3

Motion-activated outdoor lighting combined with a visible alarm bell box is one of the strongest deterrents for opportunist burglars.
