Window Alarms Offer Crucial Peace of Mind says Crime Prevention Products

Crime Prevention Products, a leader in the UK security market since 1992, advise consumers that because windows are a favourite entry point for burglars, investing in a window alarm system is not only an affordable way to boost peace of mind, but a crucial step toward protecting property.

Terry Rattee, owner of Crime Prevention Products, says: 'As an ex-police officer, I've dealt with the need for window alarm security first hand. From victims of crime who feel the need for proactive security in their homes to large businesses, we have designed a range of Window Alarms to fit the individual circumstances of every customer. If a burglar enters the premises through a window, an alarm is triggered to deter them. Without a doubt, a sound window alarm system can go a long way to preventing theft.'

There are a number of options available to consumers from when deciding on the window security that suits best:

* Window locks are generally a crucial step to preventing burglar entry in the first place. Many insurance companies require a minimum level of quality locks on premises' windows when offering cover.

* Vibration sensitive alarms can be secured to a window, door or even personal property such as TV's computers and cabinets. They are simply secured to the surface of your choice using the adhesive supplied and can be set to either high or low sensitivity. When they're touched, a siren is set off. These are sold for as little as £5.99, offering an easy and affordable means of security.

* Alarms that are triggered when a window is opened are an effective deterrent for burglars. Generally they operate through the alarm needing to be a minimum distance from a sensor – when the gap is widened a loud sound is triggered. The alarm will continue to sound until the window is closed. This type of solution can be had for as little as £4.85.

Not only are these types of security solutions affordable, they are also generally extremely easy to install. For more advanced sensor installation, a drill and screw driver will be needed, but a high level of DIY knowledge is certainly not needed. Trusted security system providers such as Crime Prevention Products thoroughly test the items before sale and provide their customers with accurate advice on both choosing the right security features and how to install them for maximum effectiveness.

Terry Rattee of Crime Prevention adds: 'In this day and age, it's increasingly important to safeguard your premises, whether at home or at your business. With minor effort, window alarms can offer customers invaluable peace of mind, as well as send an effective message to potential burglars. I recommend them as a crucial crime prevention measure.'
