With the dark nights drawing closer and closer it is important to ensure that you home is secure throughout the winter months. Although not all break ins happen at night, the majority of them are carried out when it is dark.

Simply installing security lighting outside your home can be enough to put off potential burglars and keep your home safe. If you can also install CCTV then this may record any suspicious activity as often burglars will come to scope out a property before they carry out the break in. If you are having CCTV ensure that it has night vision so you still get a good quality imagine in the dark.

If you are unsure as to whether your home is secure then you could always contact a security company that deals with residential properties as often they are more than happy to come out and give your house a once over to advise you of what you can do to improve your security in and out of the home.
