As crime rates across the UK continue to rise, ensuring the safety of your home or business has never been more important. Recent data reveals that 191,490 burglaries were reported across England and Wales between 2022 and 2023—that’s an average of 525 burglaries per day (Statista).

At Sheffield CCTV Engineers, we’re committed to keeping our community safe with cutting-edge solutions like our exclusive Bodyguard Early Warning Alert System (EWAS). Developed in-house, this innovative system offers the ultimate proactive defence against intruders, protecting what matters most to you.

The Bodyguard Early Warning Alert System isn’t your average security solution. Traditional alarms only activate after an intruder has breached your property. EWAS flips this concept on its head, stopping criminals before they have the chance to cause damage.

Here’s how it works:

• Invisible Laser Detection: EWAS creates a laser perimeter around your property. The moment it detects movement, the system springs into action.
• Loud Audible Alarm: A powerful beep alerts you and your neighbours, sending intruders running.
• Blinding Floodlights: Security lights illuminate the area, eliminating the element of surprise.
• CCTV Integration: EWAS pairs seamlessly with your cameras, providing real-time visuals and alerts to your phone or security team.

Statistics show just how urgent the need for proactive security is:

Nearly 63% of homes in the UK lack visible electronic security measures, making them prime targets for burglars (Calder Security​).

Research indicates that the average cost of a burglary—including property damage, stolen goods, and insurance premiums—is £3,030 per household (Calder Security).

Organised crime groups often target homes in quiet areas, scouting for high-value vehicles and properties without sufficient deterrents.

This growing trend makes it clear: prevention is the best protection.

The Bodyguard EWAS is a game-changer for security-conscious homeowners and businesses. Here are just a few reasons to invest in this state-of-the-art system:

1. Deter Intruders Before Entry
Burglars rely on stealth, but EWAS removes this advantage. The loud alarm and intense lights scare off potential intruders before they can even attempt a break-in.

2. Protect Your Family’s Peace of Mind
A burglary isn’t just a financial burden—it’s a traumatic experience. Knowing your loved ones and belongings are safe gives you priceless peace of mind.

3. Seamless Integration with CCTV Systems
Combine EWAS with CCTV cameras for comprehensive security. Real-time monitoring and alerts ensure you stay in control, no matter where you are.

​4. Tailored Installation
Our expert engineers customise every EWAS installation to suit your property’s layout, ensuring maximum coverage. Installation typically takes 1–3 days, depending on the property size.

While many security systems react to intrusions, EWAS prevents them from happening in the first place. Imagine this:

It’s 3 a.m., and intruders are approaching your driveway.

EWAS detects their movement and triggers the alarm.

Floodlights turn night into day, exposing their presence and making them abandon their plans immediately.

​This rapid response system removes the risk of confrontation, leaving you and your family safe inside.

​In the modern world, security is a growing concern for many homeowners and business owners alike. CCTV installation is one of the most effective methods to secure your property and deter crime in any region. At Sheffield CCTV Engineers, we offer professional installations that lead the way in securing homes and businesses across the region. Let's see how CCTV can evolve into a perfect solution for protecting what matters most to you.

​Most of the benefits of CCTV systems lie with the homeowner. The possibility of an intruder is very low where cameras are seen, as they will most likely avoid targeting your property. The peace of mind you get by knowing that your house is monitored daily is worth more than any amount of money.

Many of the key benefits of CCTV in home security include:

• Deterrence: The mere presence of cameras deters potential burglars from attempting to break into the house.
  
• Collection of Evidence: If a crime is committed, then CCTV footage can help identify intruders and will serve as evidence for the police.
  
• Remote monitoring: Many modern CCTV systems allow you to monitor your property in real-time, remotely, via smartphone apps anywhere in the world.
  
• Reduced premiums insurance: An insurance company may reward the installation of a professional-grade security system and CCTV in the home with discounts on premium.

Bank on all these advantages and invest in a CCTV system to take proactive steps to ensure the wholesome safety of your abode at all times.

CCTV predominantly protects businesses against external and internal threats. Installing CCTV on commercial premises means a much safer environment for personnel and customers alike.
Advantages of installing CCTV for your company include:

• Prevention of theft: The visible cameras will discourage shoplifting and internal theft.
• Productive output monitoring: CCTV allows the observer to observe daily operations and activities within the workplace among employees.
• Legal Liability protection: In case an incident happens within your facility, recorded video might be really useful evidence to settle disputes or litigation.
• Insurance savings: Like homeowners insurance, many business insurance companies offer discounts for businesses that have CCTV installed.

Once your business has a reliable CCTV system, it will enjoy financial and operational advantages.

The only way to ensure that your property is fully protected is by choosing the right CCTV system. Here at Sheffield CCTV Engineers, we work with clients to choose a system that meets their needs.

The following should be considered when choosing a CCTV system:

• Camera resolution: High-resolution cameras capture more detail that might be of essence in identifying intruders.
• Indoor vs. outdoor cameras: Next, you need to determine the strategic placement of indoor cameras to view key areas, while outdoor cameras have to be weather-resistant and have night vision.
• Storage options: Choose between local hard drive storage and cloud storage to facilitate access to the footage.
• Remote access: Most modern systems have apps available that enable you to view your cameras from your phone or computer.

Working with professionals ensures that your system is correctly set up and provides maximum coverage.

A CCTV system is only as good as its maintenance. Therefore, keeping your cameras clean and ensuring the software is up to date will go a long way in preventing problems such as unclear footage or downtime when you most need your system.

Clean the camera lenses regularly to ensure that the footage is clear. Check the positioning of cameras every few months to ensure coverage has not been compromised by an obstacle. Update software to protect your system from vulnerabilities and add new features. Ongoing support is available at Sheffield CCTV Engineers, where we can ensure that your system is in excellent working condition. CCTV is a very effective tool for residential and commercial security. With modern systems now offering remote monitoring, high-definition footage, and flexible storage options, there has never been a better time to install CCTV. 

At Sheffield CCTV Engineers, we recommend a yearly inspection and service to ensure everything is functioning optimally. During this service, we clean off any cobwebs, check the electronics within the system, and give you peace of mind that your Bodyguard CCTV system is working efficiently and securely.

​We're thrilled to share an incredible success story featuring our award-winning Bodyguard CCTV system. Once again, this state-of-the-art security solution has proven its worth by capturing a brazen attempt to steal a Range Rover in broad daylight right here in Sheffield.
The footage clearly shows a team of professional car thieves in action. Their methods would have gone unnoticed if it were not for the vigilant eye of our Bodyguard CCTV system.

As technology advances, so do the methods employed by car thieves. Keyless entry systems, while convenient, have become a prime target. Keyless cars can be stolen if criminals are able to replicate the signal from a car's key, using relay amplifiers and transmitters.

But fear not! There are simple steps you can take to protect your vehicle:

• Aluminium Tin: Placing your car keys in an aluminium tin, even a biscuit tin, can significantly reduce the risk of keyless theft. The metal acts as a Faraday cage, blocking the signal between your car and the key. 
• Faraday Cage or Signal Blocking Box: For added protection, consider investing in a dedicated Faraday cage or signal blocking box. These devices provide maximum security for your car keys when at home.
  
• Faraday Pouch: If you're out and about, a Faraday pouch is essential. It keeps your key safe from potential threats while you're enjoying your day.

Our Bodyguard CCTV system is designed with your peace of mind in mind. It’s more than just a security system; it’s a deterrent. With its high-definition cameras and advanced features, you can rest assured that your property is protected around the clock.
