Here’s how to enhance security by integrating cutting-edge, energy-efficient LED lighting into existing property alarm systems.
LED Lighting Deters Crime at All Hours
Outdoor LED security lighting paired with alarms improves visibility and safety. Motion-activated LEDs eliminate dark corners around properties that criminals hide in. The bright lighting also triggers integrated cameras and alarms to start recording and send alerts. This multilayered setup deters criminals from targeting properties with integrated LED safety lighting.
Choosing LED Security Lighting Systems
Several LED lighting options integrate with property security:
- Motion sensor floodlights switch on when detecting movement near doors or walkways.
- Spotlights aim focused, bright light at specific areas like entryways. These conspicuous lights make criminals feel excessively visible.
- Camera-linked lighting illuminates areas monitored by security cameras. The cameras and lights work in tandem to increase visibility.
Consider the size and needs of your property when selecting integrated systems. Larger spaces may require more powerful wide-reaching floodlights. Smaller properties can install spotlights or sensor lights adequate for illuminating garden gates and doorways.
Strategic LED Placement Strengthens Protection
Smart LED lighting placement improves security camera visibility and leaves no hiding spots for intruders to lurk. Expert-recommended locations include:
- Near doors and windows where break-ins might occur
- Along pathways and driveways to eliminate hiding areas within a property
- In backyards and near gates, garages, and fence lines where intruders can enter unseen
Position LED rigging to aim light at property access points, not simply shine ambient light. This strategic direction casts light on potential entry points and illuminates building exteriors without creating problematic glare.
Install Integrated Systems for Seamless Operation
Properly installing integrated LED systems takes planning:
- Assess the existing alarm system setup and capabilities
- Select LED lighting fixtures that integrate with current equipment
- Map out mounting points that cover vulnerable spots
- Consult lighting experts on installation
Hard-wired, grid-powered LED options provide the most durable and reliable security operation. However, solar LEDs are ideal for properties lacking existing exterior lighting wiring.
Once mounted in optimal positions, connect the LED fixtures to the alarm and camera systems. This central control panel hooks into motion sensors, door and window alarms, cameras, and any other integrated security systems. With all systems connected, the lighting activates cameras or alarms whenever the motion sensors detect activity.
