TO YOU
Step up your security with active
systems, such as serious locks to
stop burglars in their tracks and
motion-activated security lights.
Behind closed doors
A front door smart lock, such as the
Yale Unity series, can be easy to
retrofit and provide you with the
ultimate in 21st-century protection.
Yale’s Eric Sindel says, “When you
activate Auto-Lock in the Yale
Access App, the lock will use its
position sensor to automatically
lock the door when closed. The
popular Auto-Unlock feature
utilises geofencing technology
to determine your location and
automatically unlocks your door

as you approach, without the need
to reach for your keys or even your
phone.” To access these and other
functions remotely, add a Yale
Connect Bridge to join the phone
to your home’s wi-fi network.
Another pattern that has been
identified is that those planning to
break into a home would first check
whether it was occupied. Install
a wi-fi-enabled wireless video
doorbell that shows you who’s at the
door via wi-fi link to your smartphone.
With two-way audio, you can ward
off any unwanted visitors.

Solar-powered sensor lights don’t
need to be hardwired by a licensed
electrician, and plug-in mainspowered models can also make
installation a quick and easy DIY
job. This safety stalwart makes it
impossible for criminals to work under
the cover of darkness and can
immediately alert you that someone
is prowling around your property.
Position them over out-of-the-way
access points along the side or rear of
your home, so they aren’t triggered by
passers-by on the public footpath.
