Who is in, and when
Working hours spent at home, with business equipment and business data in a domestic building.
The routes that get tried
Attention tends to go where nobody can be seen from the street.
- Garden room or converted outbuilding
- Ground-floor office window
Where the building works against you
- Flat network
- Work devices, family devices and any smart hardware on one flat network means one compromised device sees everything.
- Wireless reach
- A router in the hallway rarely reaches a garden room, so people add a repeater and live with a connection that drops during calls.
What earns its place here
- Detection and a camera covering the garden office approach
- It is a small detached building with valuable contents and no passive surveillance.
- Access point placement based on a survey
- One access point in the right place beats three in the wrong ones.
Constraints to plan around
- If you handle client or personal data at home, your employer's or your own data protection obligations extend to the home setup.
Where installers cut the corner
Chaining wireless repeaters down the garden and blaming the broadband provider for dropped calls.
How shock and vibration sensors behave on this property
Detectors fitted directly to a door, window frame, safe or wall panel that respond to the physical shock of an impact or forced-entry attempt, rather than to movement in a room.
- Glazed doors and windows vulnerable to a smash-and-grab attempt
- Where it stops being the right answer: different materials transmit shock differently, so a sensor proven on one surface cannot be assumed to work identically on another.
If alarm gives no exit tone when leaving happens later
No countdown beep during the exit walk, that is one of the more common calls once a system has been in for a few years.
Before booking anyone, confirm whether the entry tone on return is also missing, which points to a system-wide setting. Ask for written confirmation of tone and chime settings after any reprogram or firmware update visit.
Sidcup: local detail
Across the DA14 / DA15 postcodes, tree-lined back gardens give cover for rear-of-house attempts, rear PIR sensors and motion-activated lighting are the best mitigation.
