Whether you own or rent, everyone deserves to live in a home where they feel safe. That’s why at IDS Security we have specialised in the design, installation and continuous maintenance of security systems for more than two decades.
In this blog, we will unpack what security systems are best for rental properties so that whether you’re a landlord or a tenant, you can ensure that your rental property is protected from burglars and thieves.
Why Is Home Security Important for Rental Properties?
Home security systems are the best way to protect your loved ones and belongings from unwanted intruders. Rented households are 63% more likely to be burgled than homes owned privately, making home security even more important for those who are renting.
If you are a landlord, you are legally obliged to keep your property safe for people to live in and it is therefore important that both you and your tenant are on the same page about what’s best for the property’s security. If you are unsure about installing an alarm or security system for your rental property, you must ensure that you carefully listen to your tenants’ concerns and explain the reasoning behind your thoughts thoroughly.
What Do We Install?
Here at IDS, we supply, fit and maintain a wide variety of security solutions in rental properties. As with all of our security systems, our engineers will arrange to visit your premises and carry out a thorough security survey so that any system we install is tailored to your requirements.
Security Cameras
Visible home security measures, such as CCTV cameras, act as crime deterrents and often discourage burglary attempts. In fact, even the mere presence of a security camera is enough to deter nearly two-thirds of burglars. Plus, CCTV systems can provide police with solid evidence should a burglary unfortunately occur.
At IDS, we offer a range of CCTV security systems for rental properties ranging from classic static and PTZ cameras to night vision and auto tracking cameras. We also offer a 24-hour monitoring and maintenance package where we can monitor and service your new CCTV system for you, giving you total piece of mind every hour of every day.

Door Entry Systems
Access control, also known as door entry systems, can be installed in any entry or exit point to ensure that only certain individuals can gain access to a building. Depending on the type of system in use, authorised personnel can unlock doors by entering a passcode, swiping a fob or ID card or even scanning their fingerprints!
At IDS, our access control specialists can install your access control system for you with minimal disruption and if you choose to take out maintenance contract with us, our engineers will monitor your security system and carry out regular servicing to keep all access control systems in perfect working order and your property in safe hands.

Burglar Alarms
In large apartment complexes, an alarm system helps attract the attention of neighbours and witnesses in the unfortunate case that someone does break in. Alarms also let the burglar know that authorities are on the way, therefore limiting the amount of time they have to grab your valuables.
At IDS, we will design a bespoke intruder system specifically for your premises. These systems are then monitored around the clock from our monitoring station to keep an eye on any disturbances 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so you can ensure your property is safe with us!
