We take many precautions when it comes to protecting ourselves and our home against vandals and burglars. From alarms to surveillance systems. The measures we take to protect ourselves, our belongings and give us peace of mind are not always implemented around or in the garage. It is common to think about protecting our homes, but neglecting the garage.
How can you make your garage secure?
Install CCTV Cameras
CCTV cameras are a staple of home security and can be equally effective at protecting your garage. The presence of CCTV cameras in your garage will force burglars to reconsider their plans, even though it is a more attractive target than your house. If they don’t notice your cameras, and decide to break into your garage anyway, the evidence that is captured by your CCTV camera could be crucial in bringing these burglars to justice and recovering your stolen items.

Install an Alarm
You want to prevent a break in, but you also want to be alerted and scare away the burglars before they can steal your belongings. Install a burglar alarm to deter intruders from your garage. It will hopefully send vandals or would-be thieves running before they can get to your belongings. If you have installed CCTV, you may even be able identify the perpetrators without having to confront them.
If you shine the light on them, they’ll likely run away quickly. Burglars are trying to avoid being noticed. Set a motion sensor light above your garage to attract unwanted attention from burglars. It will also make your garage appear less attractive (or at the very least, too risky) for burglars who are looking for easy opportunities.
