While it can be easy to focus on crime in inner-city areas or busy towns, rural crime is something that should not be forgotten about. This is especially true on farms, where expensive equipment and machinery is a tempting target for thieves. With this in mind, it is key for any farmer to do all they can to protect their property.
One common way of going about this is using PPS-Detect a monitored detection system to help. But how can this be a good weapon against rural crime? The system is completely wireless and does not require a mains power supply to operate. When movement is detected a ten second video clip is sent to the monitoring station for review and confirmation then responded to if an intruder is spotted.
Early response
As the name suggests, monitored detection systems are kept a close eye on by trained security professionals 24/7 from the monitoring station. This means that any criminal activity is picked up right away for them to respond to. This also means they can contact the police quickly after attending the scene to secure an arrest. The other major advantage of a monitored system is that it eliminates the need for you to keep an eye on the cameras yourself and also means you do not have the risk of dealing with any dangerous situations personally.
Effective deterrent for criminals
This is another way monitored systems can help tackle rural crime on farms. These kinds of systems will usually put any would-be burglar off from trying to steal your property or trespass on your land. Once they notice the CCTV signs around your farm or spot the cameras, they will soon scarper.
