Home Security - experience/recommendations/advice

Does anyone have any experience/recommendations/advice about home security systems?


I'm moving soon and would like to get something in place, as we already had a minor break in before even moving in. (They went in through a downstairs window at the back and took the only thing of value in the house, a bottle of wine we had brought for our new neighbours. A bit frustrating as I thought the garden of a mid-terrace would be quite secure, but such is life.)


I'm happy to go pretty nuclear with it, cameras, alarms etc, but I don't want to look like a drug lord, I'd like to keep it subtle. I also have a cat, so it would need to tolerate cat related movement.


I know there's lots of techy systems out there, I would love any tips, feedback or advice from others experiences.

Hi I recently had an alarm and cctv installed at my house after a burglary here in East Dulwich. I was recommended someone local from a friend of mine who also had an alarm fitted by him. His name is Tom and he was very good.

Here?s his email [email protected]

I hope this helps.

    • I spoke to a sound engineer at Piermont and he mentioned the software they use which tries to absorb the sound into the landscape
    • I think we're probably closest - about 50m from one of the tents - and to be honest it's not that bad. The bass is making the windows vibrate but it's not 'noisy' I've always said the loud music is the least of the issues to me. It's the construction for two weeks before / one week after, the imposing steel wall, the trodden in non-decomposing litter (fag butts, cable ties, vapes, bottle tops, ring pulls) which will cover the entire site forever, the compaction & damage to the grass which takes months to recover, the impact on birds, bats & wildlife of 24/7 lights, the anti social behaviour of so many attendees (p***ing on the streets and in the bushes) and this year the blatant extending of the site footprint, despite previously giving the reason they can't move it is because it's been designed for that location. And hopefully everyone can see this for what it really is - an attempt to win over the local community and set a precedent for four festival days, so that they have a stronger argument when they put in an application for six days again next year.  Southwark state that the money from Gala goes directly to supporting their Events dept, who support "up to 100 free events every year". So what are these free events, and why do we need another? 
    • Found now. All safe.   Found now!
    • We are on Friern Road and can not  hear Gala tonight, each year it depends on direction of wind, but we can hear Kneecap who are playing in Brockwell tonight....
