Light up your security
ecuring 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. Katie Plumstead, group marketing manager for ESP looks at some of the options available.
For 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. ESP recently added a 2K (4MP) Wi-Fi Security Camera with adjustable Twin Spots to
its GuardCam range, offering installers a high specification, superior resolution product. With the typical resolution for security cameras in the market currently at 1080p (2MP), ESP’s 2K (4MP) offer, sets the security light apart in a competitive marketplace, providing a key selling point for installers and end users.
It makes an ideal contemporary upgrade from an old and worn floodlight and includes the option for remote monitoring via smartphone or tablet, using the specially developed, subscription-free, ‘ESP Smart 2K’ APP. The in- built 2K (4MP) camera offers notifications and video storage in the event of motion and human detection triggers, and the adjustable 5000K dual LED lamps - with a combined 2600 lumen output - provide flexible options for light coverage. It is available in a white or black finish and features a robust, IP65 rated housing.
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
