Burglary protection with light and motion detectors
Motion detectors make a valuable contribution to security around the house - be it when parking in the garage, on the way to the front door or in dark stairwell areas. However, they not only provide better orientation in everyday life, but also effectively support burglary protection.
Because: Suddenly switching on a light can deter potential burglars and at the same time signal that someone is at home - even if no one is there.
Burglars generally look for dark, unobserved entrances. Sensor-controlled light thwarts these plans and creates a feeling of presence and attention.
With sensor-controlled lighting technology, you not only make your home safer - you also gain comfort and peace of mind.
Bright spots for safety: Top recommendations
Focus on safety: Retrofitting now
A well thought-out security concept starts with windows, doors and locks - and is effectively complemented by smart technology such as sensor-controlled lighting, automated shutters and blinds or outdoor cameras. Because: Light deters burglars - especially if it is switched on suddenly, for example by a motion detector. Such automated light switches give the impression that someone is at home - and make poorly visible areas such as side alleys or the terrace safer.

Light as an effective deterrent for burglars
)
Light creates safety - and often has a stronger effect than any wall. Because whoever can be seen will be discovered - and that's exactly what burglars want to avoid. Sudden light changes are a deterrent, give the impression that someone is at home and alert neighbors. In short, a clear message is conveyed: There is no place for uninvited guests. Lighting is particularly effective in the darker months of the year or in areas with poor visibility such as garden paths, carports or cellar entrances.
Where are motion detectors used for burglary protection?
For area-wide burglary protection with motion detectors, it is important to illuminate more than just the main entrance. Side and rear entrances as well as windows and narrow entrances around the house must also be secured. These entrances are preferred by burglars as they are often not directly visible.

Smart technology
Networking light and alarm systemsA secure home starts with a well thought-out system - intelligent, networked and flexible. Smart alarm systems use modern sensors to detect burglary attempts at an early stage and send a notification directly to your smartphone in a matter of seconds - no matter where you are. This keeps you informed at all times and allows you to react quickly. In combination with motion detectors and area-wide lighting, an effective protective shield is created around the house and garden.
The best thing is: the smart security system can be extended. Door and window sensors, cameras, LED spotlights with motion detectors as well as indoor and outdoor sirens complement the concept. Smoke and heat detectors can also be integrated - for comprehensive security that goes beyond burglary protection.
Simulate presence with light - Even on vacation
)
A secure home - even when nobody is there: simulation of presence using light is a simple but effective method of deterring burglars. Smart lights can be programmed via app or timer so that they go on and off at realistic times. This gives the impression that the home is occupied - even if you are relaxing on the beach or hiking in the mountains. Because if you travel with a good feeling, you can really enjoy your vacation.

Expert tip
When dark corners are illuminated by sensor-controlled light, the house becomes a more difficult target for burglars, because not only you but also your neighbors become aware of the suddenly switched-on light. However, no matter how smart the protective measures are, full letterboxes are an indication that nobody is at home. Asking your neighbor to empty it regularly during the vacations is part of effective burglary prevention.
