Creating a Security Plan for Your Property During Cold Weather

Be prepared to protect your business through challenges of rainy, humid, and foggy conditions. While freezing temperatures are of little in Southern Louisiana, the local climate still presents unique weather-related issues that can impact your security system. With effective solutions, your security system will continue to perform optimally during rough weather.

Certified Alarms's experts are here to guide you to install quality security solutions for your property during wet and humid months. Here are our top recommendations to make sure your system stays effective year-round.

Security Challenges in Cold Weather

Although Southern Louisiana experiences little, if any freezing weather in a given year, high humidity, heavy wind, and frequent rain can affect outdoor security equipment. Moisture buildup leads to system malfunctions over time, and foggy or low-light conditions make it harder for cameras to capture clear footage.

To maintain integrity of your security system, it’s important to address these challenges. Let’s look at the solutions that will help ensure your system works seamlessly despite the region's weather conditions.

When severe storms, lightning, tropical or hurricane events strike Louisiana, as is known to occur, power failures can lead to security system issues or outages. Rely on the Certified Alarms experts for proactive measures to keep your security system online in cases of weather-related electricity or Wi-fi failures.

Security Cameras for Winter Season

Outdoor cameras must be weather-resistant and capable of withstanding humidity and frequent rainfall common in Southern Louisiana. Look for cameras with following features:

• Night Vision
• Waterproofing
• Weather Resistance
• High Resolution
• Power Backup
• Remote Monitoring

Consider installing Network Video Recorders (NVRs) or IP-based systems for peak performance during rainy seasons.

Prevent Burglaries with Effective Solutions

The rainy season can leave windows and doors vulnerable, making it easier for burglars or break-ins. Installing motion sensors, window/door sensors, and glass break detectors will help detect any suspicious activity and keep your property safe, no matter the weather.

These sensors assist you with needed burglar detection and send instant alerts, preserving your peace of mind during the roughest weather.
