This system has a 3 main components, the camera, which is the recording device itself. The recorder, to capture footage and the workstation to view the footage. These features are available on your mobile phone or computer by using an app.

The second type of residential security and CCTV system are intrusion detection systems. These are slightly more “high-tech” and include more sophisticated features.

This system allows police officers to deactivate the alarm once they have been contacted. Both these systems are highly affective and the N&B greatly recommend you contact us with any more questions about our state of the art Security devices.

REASONS FOR SWITCH BOARD UPGRADES

There are many reasons why people should invest in switch board upgrades today. Your switchboard may not be up to current legal standards and may be required to be replaced by NSW law. This is to ensure that your old switchboard does not become faulty and potentially dangerous. Old models may not have safety switches that protect any user from electrical shock and prevent fire hazards. If you and your family want to benefit from solar panels, older switchboards may not be compatible with them. Fuses are far less likely to blow, from increased power workloads due to a move to technology in the household.
