"If your property has a long driveway, it's no longer enough to equip your home with just a video doorbell. With more territory to cover, it usually pays to take a 'layered' approach to driveway security. That can include everything from landscaping to raised planters, and the centuries-old security trick of really thorny plants, ideally boosted with a little twenty-first century technology."
"Combining several factors is the key to the most effective driveway deterrents, says Anthony Neary from Safe. By pairing garden security lights with other landscape factors, properties can instantly be made less attractive to intruders. "Motion-activated lighting is a simple but powerful too,l and instantly draws attention to movement, making intruders feel exposed. Prickly hedges or spiky plants along fences can also act as natural barriers," says Anthony."
Long driveways require a layered security approach beyond a single video doorbell. Landscaping elements such as raised planters and centuries-old thorny plants create physical barriers that slow or block intruders. Motion-activated garden security lights increase visibility and instantly draw attention to movement, making intruders feel exposed. Gravel driveways create noise underfoot that makes covert approaches harder. Combining visibility, noise, and barriers with technology and security systems produces a less attractive target. Wired security and integrated lighting systems further strengthen deterrence. Layered deterrents reduce the chance of intruders reaching the property.
