Home and business security is highly important for residential and business owners in Cambodia. Ms. Sim Kaliyan, the general manager of Global Security Solutions (GSS), recently joined Realestate.com.kh to talk about professional home and business security. There are 2 types of solutions that deal with predictable risks and security precautions in Cambodia, according to her. One is suited to a smaller budget – the other is more comprehensive, but also more expensive. 1. Cheaper Home Security Solution for those on a Tight Budget: Ms. Kaliyan cited that normal middle class families or small businesses can choose this solution. She mentioned some major points to check out: Door, Fence, Key and Window: You must check whether the door of the house and other entry points are secure or not. There should at least be a fence to keep the inside of the property safe. You can use long broken bottles placed on the fence to strengthen it. And it’s best to use double steel bars if you have a bit more money and want a better defense. This action will also prevent the fence from being stolen. Steel Bars: You also need to thoroughly inspect all aspects of the outer doors, the lock quality, and the bars of the windows and doors to ensure your home’s safety. Kalyan warns about a possible fire though. It is important to enforce the windows, but it is also important to ensure that you have a backup exit point to yourself in case a fire breaks out. You want to keep people out of your house – but you don’t want to trap you and your family inside in the case of an emergency. Use Motion Sensor Lights: You can also use motion sensor lights that activate when they detect movement outside of the house. You can place these at the entrance, the exits, and on the fence. Other Affordable Home Security Solutions: Kaliyan explains that there are other options to secure your house such as building secret passages. She also introduced ideas like placing a cardboard image of a person close to the windows, leaving your lights on while you’re not home, using a pillow to give the illusion of people sleeping, placing objects that will sound when drawers or desks are being moved, asking for the assistance of neighbors, and not letting people know when you bring home a valuable or expensive product. 2. More-Expensive Home Security solutions: Kaliyan said that whatever solution is chosen, what matters most are the “external monitoring and internal monitoring”. But there are more convenient solutions for those with more resources. These home security solutions include: Electronic Entrance and Fence: You can install electrical wires on your fence in addition to steel bars so that anyone who attempts to touch it will get shocked. Use Light Motion Sensor: You can use “light motion sensors” to protect your home round the clock. However, you need to do a perimeter check to find potential areas where burglars can pass through such as trees. Hiring Home Security Guards and Installing a Security Camera: You can hire security guards from an agency for your home and build a central monitoring station in the compound. They can keep watch of the camera feed and inspect the house. In case someone jumped your fence and tried to enter, they can take action immediately. Intrusion alarm: Intrusion alarms are also called sirens. In case someone climbs or jumps your fence, the device will ring and alert people nearby. Magnetic Door Contact or Magnetic Door Break: You can install a “magnetic door contact” or “magnetic door break” on both doors and windows of your house. When someone attempts to break in using the door or window, it will signal your smartphone. Other similar alarms include motion sensors and photo beam protectors. Safe Control: For those who have a lot of money, it’s not necessary to use locks. Using “Safe Control” may be the best option because it requires you to either use a card or fingerprint to open. Beware of Dogs: Whether you choose the cheaper option or the more expensive one, you can always hang a sign that says “beware of dogs”. This will give you good results.

Home and business security is important for all property owners in Cambodia. Crime prevention requires attention from the right providers in order to ensure that your property is secured. However, it is also important to look after yourself. Ms. Sim Kalyan, general manager of Global Security Solutions (GSS), recently talked to Realestate.com.kh about how to stay safe when living in Cambodia. What qualifications should security companies have? Kalyan said that the history of the security company’s management should be reviewed, especially the Managing Director’s. Check for experience and if they have a clear policy for the staff, such as if their salaries regularly paid or if the security guard’s salary is good enough. This is crucial because you must have a guard that is loyal to their company above all else. Try to also look for information on whether the services are good enough from past customer. Also check whether the security company’s registered and licensed in the ministry. There are more than 200 security companies in the country and some of them don’t have licenses. ............................
