Segment Timers for Safety and Savings All Year Round

When was the last time you assessed your home’s security?

Home security isn’t only about alarms, it’s about smart solutions that blend safety with everyday convenience. While many think of segment timers as a tool for managing Christmas lights, they’re a versatile year-round solution. By enhancing safety, conserving energy, and simplifying daily routines, timers can provide invaluable peace of mind.

 

Burglary Statistics You Need to Know

Did you know that home burglaries remain a significant concern?

According to the Office for National Statistics, 181,617 home burglaries were recorded in England and Wales in the year ending June 2024. An average of 498 burglaries per day. With one burglary occurring every three minutes, segment timers can play a critical role in making your home less vulnerable.

 

How Segment Timers Protect Your Home

How Segment Timers Deter Intruders

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 cameras, alarms and lighting. This layered approach creates a robust defence against intruders.
