Boosting Security And Surveillance With Lighting

Security And Surveillance With Effective Lighting

We talk of being home and dry indicating being completely safe. Not even the most exclusive neighborhoods or business districts are completely safe. It is therefore advisable to take measures to ensure the security of a home or commercial building as much as possible. Safety lighting is one precaution that can be taken to boost security and surveillance. Floodlights and sodium vapor lights are most often installed. The flood lights may be sensitive to movement and automatically come on when movement near the building is perceived.

In addition to making it easy to spot a thief, good lighting dissuades them from even attempting to break in. There is an intriguing contradiction concerning security lights that indicates that they achieve the opposite of the desired effect.

Studies in two European countries indicated that lights made people assume that they were safe but the rate of crime shot up by as much as 50 percent in the areas under study. The opposite happened in dark areas which people presumed were unsafe and thus kept away from with the effect that the crime rate was quite low.

All in all, lights improve rather than deter safety. To boost it as much as possible, design matters a lot. Badly arranged security lights may cause glare which hinders rather than helps security personnel to have a clear picture. It should also take into account whether it is people or machinery that will be on guard.

Positioning is also key. Lights can be stolen or tampered with and they should be placed out of reach as much as possible. They should be mounted as high up as possible. Another way is to cover them with tough shields like unbreakable glass or metallic mesh.

Another option is to put them in where they cannot be seen such as by imbedding them in a ceiling. Light pipes into which light is streamed are another option. Unfailing back-up like a generator that automatically takes over in seconds when the main power supply fails is also important.
