While South Africa is an amazing place to live, one of the most challenging aspects that South Africans have to face is crime. Unfortunately, we do have some of the highest crime rates in the world, and we need to be vigilant and do our best to deter criminals from our homes as much as possible.

Here at Betafence, we care about your safety, and we have put together a list of the 5 security features that every South African home should have.

Secure Fencing

If you have not yet invested in security fencing, now is definitely the time to do so. At Betafence, we supply metal fencing panels that provide a secure fencing solution for South Africans all over the country. This extra barrier is essential in keeping criminals off your property.

Outdoor Security Cameras

Just the presence of outdoor security camera systems can be enough to ward off criminals. While these devices act as a preventative measure, they are also very helpful in identifying anyone who attempts to access your property. Security cameras are becoming a lot more affordable and are certainly a must-have.

Alarm System

Having a decent alarm system can really assist in making you feel more secure within your own home. These days, alarm systems are very high-tech and can be linked to your phone and other devices. You’ll sleep a lot better with an alarm system in place.

Burglar Guards

Burglar guards are some of the best investments that you can make for your home as they allow you to keep your windows open and enjoy a cool breeze without the risk of having a thief climb through your window. Even if you keep your windows closed, windows are often broken in order to gain access to a property.

Outdoor Lighting

When you have a brightly lit outdoor space, criminals may think twice before trying to access your home as they would be in plain sight. Sensor lights are also very popular as they use less energy and can bring your attention to the presence of a potential intruder. Outdoor lighting is affordable and easy to install.
