Why You Should Use Your Home Security System for Your Garden Shed

When robbers see a fully armed house, complete with video cameras, alarms and other high-tech security equipment, it’s likely that they will be discouraged from attempting a heist. But then their attention turns to the outside of your home, glancing over a garden shed full of valuable bikes, leisure equipment and expensive garden tools. And they probably have a higher chance for a success, as people tend to care less about the protection of their shed, even though it contains more expensive stuff than you’d first think.

The mere idea of arming the shed often comes too late, when you’ve blown all your money on installing security inside the house. While most people resort to deterrent tactics – setting up fake cameras and signs as scarecrows – pro burglars see through such half-hearted attempts. Others go and buy a low class shed alarm from the local hardware store, just to save money. But the best way to protect your garden property is only possible by using the same quality alarm hardware you have for your house.

The cons of standard garden shed alarms

Deluxe protection for your shed

You can purchase flood, freeze, flame, smoke or even CO2 detectors, which could notify you in time of a leaking gas canister. Unlike standalone garden alarms that only give out a loud bleep, professionally monitored equipment sends you an instant message when something goes south. You don’t even need to be aware of the situation; the central is constantly monitoring your sensors and cameras, and they send out the emergency personnel when detecting fire or a forceful intrusion, solving the problem in your place.
