Security advice for terraced houses

1

Terraced homes are typically most vulnerable at the front door and any rear access via a back alley or shared yard. Rear door and alley gate sensors are a priority.

2

Because terraced houses are closely spaced, a loud sounder can alert multiple neighbours quickly, making monitored alarms highly effective.

3

Slim-profile alarm panels fit well in hallways and are unobtrusive in period terraced properties.
