Rob and Nick took a trip down to the NEC to IFSEC this week.
IFESC is the annual trade fair for all things security!

We are always on the look-out for new technology throughout the year, but you can’t beat having everything under one roof!
It’s great to see innovative products and to meet with other industry experts.

It all helps us to build the best solutions for our customers’ security requirements.

We are delighted to welcome Adam Hawkins back to ESI.
Some of our customers may remember Adam as he originally joined us in 2007 before leaving to travel the world in 2010. He came back briefly last year to cover Steve’s paternity leave before heading back to sunny Australia. His return to the UK couldn’t have come at a better time as we decided to expand our workforce in May.
Good to have you back Adam….it’s like you’ve never been away!

There is nothing more annoying that alarm that rings non-stop.
What’s more, it’s against the law!

An alarm bell should have a 20 minute cut-off timer installed.

What can you do to make sure you don’t fall foul of the law?

1. Check the equipment specified by your alarm installer includes an automatic cut-off.
2. Register your alarm with your Local Environment Health Authority.

Your alarm installer can provide a form for you to to fill out and send to your Local Authority- you can find the address for your area in your phone book.

If you live in the High Peak you can register your alarm on-line here.

Top Tips to deter burglars this Christmas.

Make it look like you’re in… burglars prefer empty houses. Leave the radio on or use a light with an automatic timer.
If you go away remember to cancel the milk and the papers. Ask a neighbour if they will remove your post and offer your drive as extra parking space for them whilst you are away.
On the same note if you are going away don’t advertise it on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter… save that for sharing your news when you get home!
Don’t leave gifts on display, if you go out draw the curtains or put gifts out of sight, even if you’re only going out to walk off that turkey on Christmas day!
Lock up! It sounds obvious but it’s surprising how many people leave their doors open. Unlocked doors are the easiest way for burglars to get in.
If you don’t have a burglar alarm look at getting one fitted, if you do have one make sure it has been serviced (and remember to set it when you go out and when you go to bed). A professional bell box on your wall will make potential intruders think twice.
Consider fitting a security light, and if you already have one make sure it is working (don’t put off replacing that blown bulb) – don’t give intruders cover to hide!

Give yourself peace of mind by ensuring your house is secure and have a great Christmas!
