National Home Security Month: Promoting Awareness to Keep Your Home Secure

As October marks National Home Security Month, there’s no better time to assess how secure your home is, especially as we transition into colder months when darker days increase potential security risks. A safe and secure home not only protects your valuables but also offers peace of mind for you and your family.


At Herts Security Systems, we understand that keeping your home safe is a top priority, and we’re here to help you achieve it with a trusted and professional service. With years of experience in providing high-quality security solutions, we’re committed to making home security accessible, understandable, and achievable for everyone. We also believe that no one security system fits all, so therefore provide a bespoke service in our offerings and installations.


The Importance of Winter Security

As the colder months set in the nights ultimately grow longer, which can provide more opportunities for potential criminals to attempt burglary. The risk of home break-ins tends to rise as we head into winter, so it's crucial to evaluate your home’s security now - after all, prevention is better than cure. 

Ensuring your property is well-lit, installing or updating security systems, and paying extra attention to entry points are all essential steps that can deter potential threats.


Whether you’re looking to install a new security system or update an existing one, Herts Security Systems offers a tailored approach to meet your unique needs. With our range of solutions, including CCTV, access control, and alarms, we provide comprehensive security coverage for homes of all sizes, especially as the season changes.

Trusted Partnerships: Advanced Security with supplies like Pyronix

One of our greatest strengths at Herts Security Systems is our partnership with suppliers such as Pyronix, a trusted leader in security solutions. This collaboration allows us to offer advanced, cutting-edge systems that may not be widely available otherwise, giving our clients exclusive access to high-quality products that enhance security in ways standard systems cannot - such as the CarDefender. Pyronix security solutions are known for their innovative technology and reliability, enabling homeowners to benefit from intuitive controls, remote access, and real-time monitoring—all designed with user convenience in mind.

CCTV: Protecting what matters most

Our CCTV systems allow you to monitor your property around the clock, offering an extra layer of protection that’s especially valuable during longer nights. With advancements in video technology, our CCTV cameras provide crystal-clear footage, even in low-light conditions. The Pyronix cameras we can provide are equipped with motion sensors, night vision, and are connected to a cloud service, ensuring that your video feed is accessible from anywhere, at any time. As an evolving business, we can advise, install and implement a type of CCTV system that works best for you!


The presence of CCTV cameras alone can deter opportunistic criminals, but it’s the quality and reliability of our cameras that make a difference. High-definition images, infrared capabilities, and weatherproof designs ensure our CCTV systems remain reliable, no matter the season or location of installation.


Alarms: Be Alerted of what is going on

An alarm system is one of the most effective ways to prevent a break-in, especially as homes tend to look more “unoccupied” during darker months - hence why we always recommend getting timed lights and leaving a TV on if you are leaving your home for a short while. At Herts Security Systems, we offer a variety of alarm options, including smart alarms that can be controlled remotely, traditional alarm systems, and integrated solutions that work alongside other security measures like CCTV and access control. Our alarms are designed to detect unauthorised entry instantly, triggering alerts that ensure swift responses and peace of mind.

From motion sensors to smart notifications, our alarms cover every corner of your home, providing protection exactly when and where it’s needed.


Access Control: Be in the know of who is accessing your property

Access control is becoming increasingly popular for private residential security, such as serviced apartments as it allows you to manage who enters your home without traditional keys. We have a variety of systems that range from keypads and card readers to advanced biometric solutions, giving you complete control over who can enter your property. Not only does access control enhance security, but it also offers convenience, as you can change access settings quickly without needing to replace locks or reissue keys - which can go missing and cause a potential security risk.



Access control solutions are ideal for families, frequent travellers (think Airbnb’s), and anyone who wants to avoid the hassle of traditional locks and keys. With access control in place, you’re assured that only authorised individuals can enter your home, adding an extra layer of security that’s hard to beat—especially when it’s easy to lose or misplace keys during winter.


A Professional, Trustworthy Service You Can Rely On

With over seven years of experience in the security industry, Herts Security Systems has built a reputation for excellence, reliability, and professionalism. When it comes to securing your home, you need a team that is not only knowledgeable but also committed to delivering high-quality service. Our trained professionals provide a seamless installation process, ensuring that your system is correctly set up and that you fully understand how to use it.


We also offer ongoing support and maintenance, so you can rest assured that your system will perform optimally for years to come. Our commitment goes beyond installation—we’re here to support you at every step, from choosing the right system to regular check-ins and updates.


We have lots of reviews across our social media and google which can also instill you with peace of mind and reassurance!
