How Segment Timers Protect Your Home

A well-lit home is less appealing to burglars. Segment timers can control lights, radios and even TVs, creating the illusion that someone is home – even when you’re away. This small investment can significantly reduce the likelihood of a break-in.

Energy Saving Made Simple: Leaving lights on all day wastes energy and increases costs. Segment timers allow you to schedule lights and appliances to turn on and off at specific times, saving energy without compromising security.

Convenience for Your Busy Lifestyles: Ever rushed out of the door wondering if you left a light or appliance on? Segment timers eliminate the guesswork by letting you schedule lights and appliances effortlessly. Just ‘set it and forget it’ for a seamless, worry-free experience.

Tips to Maximise Your Segment Timer’s Potential

  • Spread Activity Across Your Home: Enhance the illusion of activity by planning timers in different rooms. Schedule staggered activation times to mimic natural movements throughout the house.
  • Keep Intruders Guessing: Prevent burglars from identifying patterns by varying your timer schedules. Small adjustments can go a long way in keeping your home unpredictable and secure.
  • Layer Your Security for Maximum Protection: For comprehensive protection, pair segment timers with other Defender Security Products, like camerasalarms and lighting. This layered approach creates a robust defence against intruders.
