1. Why Security Cameras Are a Smart Investment

You’ve seen the signs—“Smile, you’re on camera.”
There’s a reason convenience stores, banks, and shopping centres use CCTV: it works. Installing security cameras at home offers:
A visible deterrent to burglars
Peace of mind when you’re away
A watchful eye over packages, visitors, or unexpected activity

The Lock Wizard – Locksmith Swindon recommends camera coverage at all main entry points for full protection.

2. Where Should You Place Your Cameras?

The most effective placements include:
Front and back doors
Ground-floor windows
Driveways and garages
Garden or side entrances

Make sure cameras are positioned high enough to avoid tampering, but angled well to capture faces and movement clearly.

3. The Perks of Remote Monitoring

Modern CCTV systems allow you to:
Check live footage from your smartphone
Get alerts for suspicious movement
Record and store footage in the cloud

Whether you’re at work, shopping, or on holiday, remote access keeps you in control.

4. Insurance Benefits of CCTV Footage

In the event of theft or damage, footage from your security system can support your insurance claim.
Provide evidence of the event
Speed up claim processing
Improve your chances of receiving full compensation

Many insurers even offer discounts for homes with verified surveillance systems.
