When it comes to home security, you simply can’t put a price on peace of mind. CCTV uses advanced technology to provide additional security to capture or deter criminal behaviour from your home. There is an abundance of reasons why installing a CCTV system at home is a worthwhile move. As experts in home security systems at Lynx, we’re here to explain why you should consider installing a closed-circuit television system on your property.
Crime prevention
A CCTV system uses a camera and recorder to capture images and store them. One of the main advantages of installing this system in your home is that it acts as an effective deterrent against crime. Generally, criminals are more likely to choose properties without CCTV systems to avoid being caught. Not only can CCTV deter burglaries, but also anti-social behaviour, such as vandalism, around your home.
Evidence
CCTV security systems aren’t just effective for warding off crime around your home. They can also help to solve crimes and bring criminals to justice. If your CCTV system does capture footage of criminals, this can be given to the police to help identify the suspects. In turn, this all helps to make criminals think twice about breaking into a home with CCTV protection.
Peace of Mind
Making your home as safe and secure as possible can undoubtedly put your mind at rest, particularly when you’re out and about. Your house isn’t just a building containing your valuables: it is also your family’s safe space. Burglaries can be a traumatic experience, leaving you feeling violated of your privacy alongside the loss of your belongings. Installing CCTV gives you that extra peace of mind in that your property is as guarded as possible, allowing you to relax that bit more when you’re away from your home.
Monitor on the go
A major advantage of modern CCTV systems is the ability to monitor footage remotely. Whether you own a laptop, iPhone, iPad or Android device, footage from our domestic systems can be accessed wherever you are. Whether you’re out for the day, the weekend, or on holiday for two weeks, the ability to monitor your precious home when you’re not there is invaluable.

Common Customer Queries
1. What are the benefits of having a monitored alarm system?
A monitored alarm system can give you a further sense of security surrounding your property. It can be connected to our Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) so that any signals sent from the alarm system can be used to alert you, nominated keyholders or even your local Police.
2. Can I install my own home security alarm system?
It is possible to DIY your own home security alarm system if you order one online and install it by yourself. This could be unreliable and could risk not being placed in the most efficient spot. Lynx have professional surveyors that will collect data about the property, and then use this to design a bespoke security alarm system for your property.
3. What security system is best for my property?
It would be difficult to tell you one specific system without knowing the layout and the requirements of your property. For this reason, we employ experienced Surveyors who you can meet to discuss the property you wish to protect.
4. Does having a security system affect my insurance?
Whether your home security system reduces the cost of your insurance policy is entirely dependent on the terms and conditions of your insurance provider.
