As well as the physical and monetary implications, there is also a psychological impact and a desire to ensure it doesn’t happen again.
Silvan Selecta has recently added two new products to its security range to help deter thieves who will likely be opportunist, on the lookout for unattended tools, chainsaws or even fuel.
The economy security camera is a motion activated system that helps keep a 24-hour watch on buildings and the surrounding areas.
A 5-megapixel camera saves images to an 8 GB SD card and keeps a record of comings or goings, an invisible infra-red flash recording night time movement. Its compact size allows it to be located in a discreet position and its content used to identify intruders. The unit is available from Selecta re-sellers at $220+GST.
A second device, The Selecta driveway sensor alert, can be placed on driveways, gates or entry points to alert residents to people or vehicles passing through.
Movement can be detected up to 10m from the sensor, and transmitted up to 100m to the receiver. Upon detection a LED indicator light and an alert chime, with three volume levels are activated on the receiver.
The sensor is powered by 3 AAA cells, the receiver by 3 C type cells.
Both units are compact and unobtrusive and easily mounted for best coverage. Price: $45+GST.
