Security with style
» » A DRAMATIC GROWTH IN ONLINE
sales combined with an increased awareness of
the dangers of identity theft, has led to a surge
in demand for secure, reliable post boxes. In
addition to keeping mail secure and people off
the property, mounting an external post box
helps improve energy efficiency by eliminating
a potential source of drafts.
Reflected in the growing trend for coloured
uPVC windows and doors, increasingly style-
conscious customers care as much about the
appearance of the outside of their property as
the inside. To help installers make the most of
this increased sales opportunity, Burg-Wächter
is promoting Europe’s largest range of stylish
post boxes.
Available in a wide range of designs and
choice of colours there’s a Burg-Wächter post
box solution for every building. Stackable
options meet the needs of apartment and office
buildings, whilst the choice of either wall-
mounted or free-standing models bring added
flexibility to the range. Customer appeal is
further enhanced by the variety of materials
available, including stainless steel, high quality
plastic and powder-coated galvanised steel.
Style is no substitute for substance and the
Burg-Wächter name is synonymous throughout
the world with high quality, practical products.
All Burg-Wächter post boxes conforming to the
European standard EN 13724 assure superior
performance, enhanced weather protection and
greater resistance to attack.
SURVEILLING SECURITY OPTIONS
Video surveillance systems are an
increasingly popular part of customers’ security
plans, used as both a visual deterrent and for
gathering vital evidence. Designed specifically
for the self-install market, the BurgCam Wi-Fi
range offers a choice of outdoor zoom, dome,
bullet and indoor cameras, all providing the
ability to record directly onto an SD card
and use as standalone units. Super HD 2K
resolution, face detection/video analytics and
the option to pair up to 6 cameras with a
network recorder makes the BURGcam Wi-Fi

range perfect for most home, small business
and retail installations.
The easy to use BURGcam app provides
real-time a real-time monitoring feed on
smartphones, tablets and PCs. It also allows
pan, tilt and zoom control on the Zoom
camera. Together with the configurable
notifications and alerts facility, this video
surveillance system lets customers keep an
eye on their property whilst either out and
about or relaxing in their garden. In addition
to bringing unwanted attention to uninvited
visitors, installing external lighting increases the
time customers can use their outdoor space.
SMART SOLUTIONS
The latest Smart replacement euro-cylinder
locking systems ensures the days of leaving keys
in the door or locking them inside the house
can be a thing of the past. Burg-Wächter’s
‘secuENTRY Easy’ combines keypad, biometric
fingerprint reader and Bluetooth technologies
into one easy to use system. The illuminated
keypad provides IP65 weatherproof protection
against dust and water, making it ideal for
outside doors, whilst the power of Bluetooth
allows the lock to be activated via the Burg-
Wächter smartphone app.
The central control unit with built-in
sounder, wirelessly connects to up to 200
accessories including movement, contact,
smoke, vibration and water sensors as well as
external sirens and remote controls. A simple
scan of a QR code on the accessory is all it
takes to add each component to the system,
whilst the app also offers the convenience of
remote access and notifications.
BOLTING ON ADDITIONAL SALES
Encourage customers to protect their
considerable investment by offering them
a simple garden security kit. Whilst this
may seem like a bit of a departure from core
business, the simple combination of a marine
or weatherproof padlock with a security cable
or chain provides a number of convenient
and effective security solutions; from allowing
customers to leave their furniture locked
together in the garden, and provides additional
security for equipment stored in the shed or
garage. For added peace of mind, a properly
installed ground or wall anchor is ideal for
keeping barbeques and patio heaters secure in
place.
Effective security is all about building
in layers, and the first line of defence for
many customers is the perimeter. A marine
padlock also forms a great partnership with
a weatherproof hasp and staples to keep
garden gates, sheds and outdoor storage boxes
locked. Alternatively a combination locking
bolt avoids the risk of losing keys, and is ideal
for using in a number of garden and outside
areas; from stopping children entering gated
areas such as ponds and pools, to securing the
shed and outbuildings that have dangerous
garden chemicals or valuable equipment in
them.
