When the Power Goes, Does Your Security Go With It?

Break-ins rise noticeably during extended outages, because criminals know which security systems quietly fail the moment the power goes.

Your alarm panel

Backup batteries degrade after 2-3 years. A battery that held charge fine last year might not survive a 4-hour outage today. Worth testing, not assuming.

Your cameras

Without a UPS or solar setup, most camera systems go dark within minutes of a power cut, exactly when you'd want them running.

Your alarm's communication

A landline-based system can be cut along with the power. Cellular communicators keep talking to the control room even when copper lines and electricity both fail.

Electric fencing

Energiser batteries have the same wear pattern as alarm batteries, and a fence that isn't live is just a wall with wires on it.

What to do right now
