ASKARI PROJECTS
A 3-PRONGED APPROACH TO DOMESTIC SECURITY
At ASKARI PROJECTS, we believe that securing the safety of yourself, your family and your assets, goes beyond simply installing an alarm system inside your home. We believe that:
1. You need to keep intruders off your property.
This is achieved by installing an Electric Fence around your property, that can warn you with an audible siren when the fence security has been breached, giving you time to secure yourself and your family inside the safety of your home.
2. You need to know that intruders are on your property before they can get to your home.
Should intruders be smart enough to bypass the Electric Fence without raising an alarm, you need to know this and be aware of their presence on your property before they can make it into your home. This is achieved by installing modern outdoor detection devices around your home. This could include IR-Beams, pet friendly PIR detectors or a combination of these devices, either connected to your home’s burglar alarm system or to an independent, separate alarm system.
3. You need to know that intruders have gained entry into your home.
This is achieved by installing a SAIDSA approved, bylaw 25 compliant intruder alarm system inside your home. Sadly, when this alarm is activated, it is already too late to take any further precautions to protect your family or belongings. By now the bad guys are inside your home and will either steal your valuable belongings or, even worse, physically harm you and/or your loved ones, maybe even resulting in tragic loss of life.
It is clear thus, that points 1 & 2 above form an integral part of any comprehensive security solution and should not be regarded as unnecessary devices due to an alarm system already installed inside the house. All of the devices can also be connected to you existing system that is already linked to an armed response security company.
SUPPLEMENTARY to the above, a CCTV system is also recommended. Although many consider CCTV as a reactive tool that does not prevent crime but rather shows how a crime was committed, it plays an important role in allowing you to monitor what is happening on your property when the fence alarm or beams have been activated, without you needing to leave the safety of your home to investigate. Modern systems can be viewed on your smart phone from anywhere in the world.
