Different perspectives
Security Risk – From the client’s perspective, these levels also refer to the different zones of security required for the property. Set up every aspect of your security structure in zones for better control. You can then choose which zones or sections to activate or deactivate according to your needs.
The issue that most people are sitting with is the fact that when they disarm the alarm system, they are disarming the entire alarm system and not only the area they require. When you program your alarm system in zones, you can disarm specific sections, like the driveway when you come home. When you are done in the driveway, you will deactivate the front area of the house alarm whilst activating the driveway alarm.
Daily mistakes
Not zoning your security system accordingly is one of the biggest security mistakes that people make daily. The number of zones will also be dependent on the type of property.
In summary; as Assessors, we assess different levels of security which will then be translated into ‘zones’ for the client. Assessing property in levels helps us to understand the property, the environment and it also ensures that we can identify all the risks. Security layering is also important as this will tell you in advance where an intruder finds himself on your property.
