Put your mind at ease with an ila Wedge Door Alarm. It’s the ideal travel accessory for those who feel uneasy about staying at a hotel solo, frequent flyers and backpackers.  All you do is simply jam the lightweight door wedge under the door to make it harder to open.

Secure your home with the help of Be Safe Alarms

The purpose of installing such measures is not just as a deterrent, but also to ensure your home is extremely difficult to enter and burgle, giving you peace of mind. To maintain an effective security system a careful plan should be devised, especially as windows, doors and unlocked tool areas (sheds or garages) are the most popular targeted areas of a home. Installing security measures will discourage intruders and make them think twice about stepping onto your property.
What should I install?

Dummy Bell Boxes

A great tip when installing a dummy bell box is to look at your home as if you were an intruder. The place and position should be carefully considered as it needs to be visible, but placed in a safe area to prevent any damage.

When placing your dummy bell box avoid:

•    Mounting the bell box on a completely shaded wall
•    Shadows from guttering roof overhangs
•    Fascia boards
•    Neighbouring walls
•    Trees and so on

Doors (home, garage and shed)

Doors are one of the most common entry points for an intruder, so it is important that you make sure they are locked. There are also deterring solutions you can incorporate into your home such as:

•    Door wedge alarm

The sole purpose of the door wedge alarm is to make it harder to open the door. In any circumstance of forced entry an ear piercing alarm is omitted, which can act as a deterrent and will alert you to call for assistance.  

•    View-Com Door Entry System

The door scope enables you to gain a wide angled, magnified view of who is outside your door.

Windows

It’s important to ensure that you have taken the correct safety precautions when closing and locking all windows. Some of the security measures you may be interested in include:

•    Glass guard

This is an effective, low cost (£7.99) vibration alarm.

•    Window alarm and chime

The chime mode can be used to alert you of unwanted guests through front, back or patio doors.



Keep your belongings safe with the help of the ila Handbag Hook

So wouldn’t it be a great idea to make sure our bags were safe and secure? On a night out on the town, girls are targeted more often than men by opportunist thieves, due to their knowledge of how valuable our handbags are. So next time you’re out sipping cocktails, why not have your bag hanging from an ila Handbag Hook?  This way your bag, along with its contents will always be kept in your sight.

The handbag hook is an essential item for all girls who wish to have peace of mind wherever they go. It’s stylish too and is sure to go with every bag in your wardrobe.


The beauty of this innovative commodity is in the story behind it. Created by Bob White, a parent himself who thought he had lost his two year old daughter whilst shopping. He describes the dreaded feeling all parents hope they will never endure;

‘“Hailey! Hailey! Where are you?” My stomach sank, my wife's face became heated and red. We did not know where our two year old daughter went. The store was crowded. Did someone take her? Did she just innocently wander off? The uncertainty of her situation was frightening. We began calling her name more loudly and frequently. The store manager was preparing to shut the front doors when we heard an older lady say, "Is this your daughter?" Luckily, it was.’

Losing sight of your child can be the most terrifying experience for a parent. However, with the Mommy I’m Here device those circumstances shouldn’t happen.

How the child locator works

Simply attach the bear to your child’s clothing or shoe; girls can even wear them as a bracelet! The transmitter is for you and it can be used as a keyring. If your child innocently walks off and you’re unsure of their whereabouts, simply push the button and alarm will be emitted, making it easier to locate your child.



Secure your home from any potential burglary with the help of Be Safe Alarms

However, the worth of your home contents can sometimes be as much as the value of your home and so needs protection from potential burglaries. It’s a known fact that windows and doors are the most common entry points and so we’re bombarded with all kinds of security measures that ensure our homes are difficult to break into. But which security measures should we put into action and what works best?

This is a difficult question to answer, but never the less a question that needs to be taken into consideration. It all depends on your preference, the areas that need to be concentrated on and the budget. Due to this, at Be Safe Alarms we have a variety of home security devices including:

•    Door alarms
•    Door entry systems
•    Dummy security
•    Mini PIR alarm systems
•    Motion sensor alarms
•    Panic alarms
•    Voice memo alarms
•    Window alarms

Depending on how militant you wish to become with your security, we advise you begin with the basics and grow your security system as you desire. A door alarm and window alarms are the key components to an effective home security system and so form the basics that you should begin with. Assess your home and look at it as if you were an opportunist thief, if you believe there are certain areas that can be considered sensitive then you will know what measures you need to take.

Door alarms are one of the main devices to have. If there is any form of forced entry an alarm will sound off, which will not only deter the burglar it’ll also notify you that assistance is required. In some cases criminals work in small groups and word is sure to go around the group if they know your home has a security system.

If this sounds ideal then we advise you to secure your windows with a Minder Window Alarm and Chime, which emits an ear piercing noise when the magnetic contact is separated. Not only can this alarm help you secure windows it can also be used to alert you of forced entry through front, back and patio doors. At Be Safe Alarms we also recommend the use of a door wedge. This can be used as the primary door security or as a part of a system. You may choose to have the front door protected with an alarm and chime device and then use the door wedge underneath it as an extra precaution.

There are many ways to use our home security devices . However, to get the best system operational it’s advisable to take a look around your home first to assess what is needed.


Dummy cameras or CCTV - what works best for you?

When it comes to protecting your property a careful assessment of the risks is required to indentify whether installing a CCTV system is a worthwhile investment or not.

It is advisable for a company to have a full CCTV system operating around the property. However, there are some firms who use a mixture of both CCTV and dummy cameras to help manage costs. Dummy cameras are a cost effective way of protecting a building, primarily used as a deterrent, taking advantage of their convincing aesthetics to discourage and confuse potential burglaries. Some businesses use dummy cameras in less sensitive areas, both inside and outside of the property to deter criminal activity. Dummy cameras along with other suitable security measures can offer the level security required at a fraction of the cost if the investment for a CCTV system is not needed.

When it comes to the security of your home, dummy cameras could be all that’s needed to help deter opportunist thieves as they are more likely to stay away from properties that have a visible security system. The look of the dummy camera is extremely important, especially when it comes to discouraging professional crooks. There are some cheap dummy camera options available, but many of them can easily be distinguished as a fake. However, there are some dummy systems that are convincing and can look like the real CCTV cameras we see around many commercial builds.

The location you mount your dummy system is also important as you want it to be visible. Take a look at our Help Centre and you will find further guidance on installing your dummy camera.

CCTV cameras are expensive to buy and operate, not only do you need multiple cameras to record sensitive areas, you need to maintain the live systems and store live footage. Dummy cameras are a cost effective way of securing a building, but an assessment of the risks needs to be completed before any systems are introduced.
