Ep151: Michael Hain - Security Options - What You Need to Know

Real Estate Right

With a good percentage of people back in the office, and others exploring their options to work remotely, whether that's at home, a tropical island in Fiji, up in the snowfields or a break away on the coast, there is a larger need to keep an eye on your home when you're not at home. Today, we're going to look at security options, and what are the latest things people are looking at in security when buying a home.

Michael Hain is a gold member of the Australian Security Industry Association Limited; executive board member of the Victorian Security Institute, has served 2 years as Neighbourhood Watch Chairman for the City of Glen Eira and a member of the Glen Eira Council Community Safety Committee, and is the Founder and CEO of Security Heroes, the most accredited expert we could find to talk to us about security for our home.

1. Explain to us the levels of security available that buyers are looking for when buying property?

a. Mobile phone app.

b. Pet-Immune alarm detectors

c. Stay-at-home protection

d. Video intercom

e. Affordable high-definition infra-red cameras

2. There were days when people would think that CCTV cameras on a house were there because the occupants were doing shifty stuff, like drugs. What is the consensus about suburbs where they see CCTV cameras on every second home nowadays?

3. We see many homes with keyless entry locks on their front door or to open their front gates, what are some of the pros and cons that buyers would need to think about?

4. When buying a home, what are some of the tell-tale signs that there maybe criminal activity in the street or area?

5. When people first get CCTV cameras, they seem to be in awe of being able to watch everything going around their homes? Does it get to a stage where they only look when they need to?

6. How well do the 'ring' style doorbells/CCTV systems work?

7. Say you have organised an appointment to meet a couple who want to get a security/surveillance system in their home, what should they look for in 'you' to know that you are trusted?

8. When a new buyer settles into their home, what security concerns should they have as they are moving into that home?

9. What happens if there is an existing alarm or CCTV system in the home, how can we make it that only we know who has access to that system?

10. If there is no alarm or CCTV, and we feel we need it, how can we get one installed?

11. Should investors put an alarm or CCTV on their properties? Would a tenant be concerned if the landlord has access to the CCTV footage?

12. How popular is back to base monitoring now that we CCTV app-connected technology?

13. Do you get a discount on your insurance premium if you have a back to base system rather than an app-connected system?

14. How did you come up with the name 'Security Heroes'?
