Protect your property with our safety and security essentials

As the seasons change, our Simply Brands team like to analyse our products and solutions to see what our stockists and distributors will seek to satisfy the consumer desires. And so, as winter takes hold, it’s only natural for our attentions to turn closer to home. How do I protect my property in winter? What are the best home security solutions out there? What products do I need to keep my family, property and belongings safe? To answer questions like these, we’ve selected a few of our Simply Brands products from the Simply Auto and Simply Living ranges that are great quality, brilliant value and ensure that total peace of mind we’re all looking for when it comes to safety and security…

Bike Locks

Did you know that a bike is stolen almost every 7 seconds in the UK and Wales each year? And yet, only around 20% of owners are reunited with their bicycles. That means a bike lock is incredibly important if you want to keep hold of your wheels over winter. A bike lock provides the perfect theft deterrent and is the first step in any home security mission with a low-investment/great reward item. Talking about bike accessories, we’ve launched our brand new Simply Cycling range so make sure to check that out.

Car Covers

And that’s the key element to many of the products you’ll find out there for security. Every product plays a huge part in deterring crime. It’s of course important to ensure your products are in great working order and do the job they’re supposed to, but having them in the first place goes a long way to avoiding any crime happening, or an attempt at such, at all. Another example of this is a great quality car cover. Having your vehicle covered when not in use keeps your car protected from the winter elements and is an irritating hurdle for criminals to overcome when they’re looking for a quick, easy manoeuvre.  They also obscure a vehicle’s interior, making it difficult for thieves to determine the potential value of its contents. Our Simply Auto Car Cover offers whole car protection with a secure fit and is water resistant. It also comes in a handy drawstring bag for neat storage when not in use.

Steering Locks

Another handy and popular security product to consider is the Steering Lock. Used by drivers for decades, they provide incredibly effective defences against any attempts at thefts. We have a great selection to choose from like our T-Bar Lock, Baseball Bat Lock and traditional Lock. All provide great protection at a great price.

Anti-Theft Vibration Alarm

But, if you don’t have a car, and use a scooter, motorcycle or mobility scooter an anti-theft vibration alarm is a brilliant addition. It reduces false alarms with adjustable sensitivity and is really easy to install. Again, this acts as a brilliant deterrent but is also highly effective should any theft attempt be made.

HD Weatherproof Wireless Home Security Camera

The next step in efficient and effective home security over winter is to have a reliable security camera. This doesn’t need to be a full home CCTV set up with multiple devices, cameras, monitors and wiring, and can easily be achieved with a simple and cost-effective HD camera from Simply Brands. The great thing about this camera is that it’s also wireless so is simple to set up and can stream to multiple devices.

Smart Wireless Video Doorbell

And to take your visual security further, installing a doorbell cam not only helps boost your home security, but they’re also incredibly convenient whether you’re in the home or out and about. Our HD wide-angle doorbell cam can stream to multiple devices. There’s also a two-way intercom and motion detection, so you know your camera can detect any visitors (unwanted or not!) and keep you on top of who is coming and going from your property and the area around it.

Even more security

But what about when you’re away from home and further afield? Keeping your personal belongings safe is an absolute must. With rising personal belongings value unfortunately comes the rise of crime and theft amongst it. Our Key and Phone Blocker protects car keys and electronic key fobs against radio frequency theft. Once the items are inside the blocker, no signal can penetrate and hack the items.

When you’re out on the road in your vehicle, a dash cam is a handy addition to your interior as it records your journeys and offers a helping hand with evidence should you ever be involved in an accident.

So when it comes to securing your property and belongings with effective and low-investment solutions, we’ve got you covered! It was reported in 2021 that property crime made up over 85% of all crime in the US, and that figures is mirrored throughout many countries around the globe, so it goes without saying that these small measures can have a huge impact on keeping your home, belongings and loved ones safe this winter.
