Think security, think

Securing a home or business property from unwanted attention doesn’t necessarily mean investing in the very latest CCTV system. Exterior security lighting can provide a simple to install and affordable way of enhancing home and business
security.Neil Baldwin, managing director at Scolmore Group Company, ESP, looks at some of the options available.

or some home and business owners, it may be a case of starting from scratch with the provision of security, for others a case of replacing old and corroded equipment or upgrading
to a more sophisticated and reliable system. The installer working on the project can do an assessment of the requirements and advise on the best solution to meet the specific needs. For those clients with no external security measures in place to protect
their properties, the installation of a simple camera and security floodlight system could be the answer to deterring unwanted intruders. There are a range of products available, such as a complete, all-in-one, energy-efficient, high-performance LED PIR floodlight system. A combined security camera and LED floodlight like ESP’s GuardCam LED,
for example, is suitable not just for securing domestic properties, but also for areas around offices and industrial or agricultural units. These systems are straightforward to install by simply connecting to the mains power, fixing to the wall and setting the time and date via the supplied SD card. Once switched on it will detect an intruder, floodlight the area, and initiate a High Definition video recording directly to an internal SD card. If selected, an audible warning can be delivered, and users have the ability to record their own warning message. For a more sophisticated solution there are Wi-Fi versions available that
offers the additional benefit of remote monitoring via smartphone or tablet. The GuardCam Deco for example is a combined Wi-Fi security camera and LED floodlight system, which has been designed with ease of set up as a key feature. The remote monitoring function via smartphone or tablet is available using ESP’s specially developed ESP Smart APP. With a built-in camera that offers full 1080p HD live viewing and recording, this type of security camera and floodlight system is an ideal all-in-one solution for domestic and commercial applications. On approaching the unit, it will detect the intruder with proven PIR technology at a distance of up to 10 metres from the unit. It will floodlight

features an adjustable 16W high-intensity LED Security Lamp (3000k colour light and 800 lumen) and you can remotely dim or turn on/off the LED lamp via the APP. It will record up to 200, twenty-second video sessions onto the supplied 8GB storage, and this is expandable up to 64GB. GuardCam LED Wi-Fi has the option to deliver motion activation notifications via the APP whilst recording the activation. The user friendly APP also allows recordings to be accessed. The integral High Definition digital camera offers wide angle camera view and clear image recording in video format. Night images retain colour and clarity due to the automatic LED light illumination. For other projects, it may be that exterior lighting is required simply to light up areas to the front, back or side of a property to make access around
