As security technology improves, so do the methods used by criminals. We have noticed a distinct shift in tactics used by syndicates in the greater Cape Town area over the last 6 months.
1. Roof Access Burglaries
Criminals are bypassing perimeter beams by lifting roof tiles. Standard internal PIRs often don't catch them until they are already inside. We recommend installing ceiling-void sensors to detect movement in your roof space.
2. Gate Motor Theft
With load shedding, backup batteries are high-value targets. Thieves break open gate motors to steal the battery or the entire motor. An anti-theft bracket is now a mandatory requirement for insurance in many areas.
3. Remote Jamming
Always physically check your car door is locked. Jammers prevent the locking signal from reaching your car. We also recommend upgrading to anti-jamming remotes for your alarm and gate.
