For farm owners, whether you are operating for home or business purposes, it is essential that you take necessary precautions to safeguard your farm buildings. In doing so, you will protect not only the building itself from criminal damage but also all your vital farming equipment such as machinery, vehicles, fuel and livestock.
Living in rural areas will not deter criminals from considering your building as a potential target, unfortunately you are still at risk of falling victim to crime. In the countryside it is common for intruders to access farms for fly tipping, hare coursing, poaching, badger baiting as well as break-ins.
Considering how you secure your farm building should be a top priority. Luckily there are a number of simple and efficient methods in how you can take the necessary precautions to cut down the chances of falling victim to criminal damage and protecting your equipment.
Installing some surveillance equipment and having ways to report any suspicious activity to the authorities is key to securing your farm. Our video verification alarm system can be easily installed to track the movements of any potential criminals at your property and can help in identifying the suspects.
When an intruder is detected, the recording is sent direct to our own Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) where our experienced operatives can verify the threat and coordinate the appropriate response from the authorities. Alternatively, we can call you, so that you can investigate. We have flexible and bespoke options depending on your land, your buildings and your requirements.
The footage and our report is sent to you immediately or the following day, showing you exactly what has happened and how quickly we can identify these potential threats, giving you that added peace of mind knowing your farmland is secure.
In addition to this, our temporary and permanent alarm systems can be installed to detect intruders, silently reporting their movements so we can catch them, or sending loud warnings, scaring them off the land.
Taking these steps to secure your farm will go a long way in making life difficult for criminals and in deterring them altogether. Taking the time to protect your building, and any valuable equipment housed within, should be a top priority for you in combatting against rural crime.
