Home security
Home security should always play a key role in building planning. Gira offers a wide range of solutions to help make your home a safer place. These include smoke detectors, door communication systems and presence detectors.
Smart access systems for home security
In addition to mechanical measures to protect your home, smart access controls that allow keyless entry can significantly boost your security. One particularly innovative option is using a fingerprint scanner – ideally in combination with a video door intercom system. The Gira System 106 paired with the Gira Keyless In fingerprint module offers exactly this functionality. With the Gira surface-mounted video home station Plus, you can see who’s at your door from the hallway or remotely via app on your smartphone.
Mechanical security measures remain essential, even with smart products
Mechanical safeguards are the foundation of a secure home. These include:
Doors and gates that are built according to DIN EN 1627, ensuring that the frame, lock and handle are secure
High-quality and tamper-proof locking cylinders
Grilles, security gates and well cover grates to protect windows and basement entrances
Windows that are tested and certified for burglary resistance according to DIN EN 1627
Roller shutters tested according to DIN EN 1627

Additional safety measures:
Planting and climbing aids: keep vegetation at a suitable distance from the house to avoid giving intruders cover. Items that could be used to climb – such as ladders – should be stored securely to prevent misuse
Lighting: Good lighting can deter burglars. Motion-sensitive lights are a popular option
For optimal home protection, it’s best to combine mechanical security with electronic building safety features such as cameras, motion detectors and glass break sensors.
More Gira security solutions
In addition to smoke and motion detectors, automatic lighting and blind control systems also provide security benefits. With smart solutions, you can easily simulate presence in your home – even while enjoying a holiday far away. Gira systems can be programmed to switch lights on and off at certain times, while your blinds move automatically based on sunlight. A smart audio system can even play everyday sounds – like a vacuum cleaner or barking dog – to create the impression someone’s home.
Using motion detectors and outdoor lighting
According to police recommendations, motion detectors combined with outdoor lighting can act as an effective deterrent to potential burglars – particularly during the darker months of the year. As soon as movement is detected, the lights are automatically switched on by the presence detectors. But it’s not just intruders who benefit from this setup: presence detectors also help you and your guests find your way in the dark, whether in the garden or at the entrance to your home.
It’s important to plan the positioning of your motion detectors carefully to avoid false alarms caused by animals, vehicles or heat emitted through windows. For hard-to-reach areas, battery-powered options are available. Some models even feature a twilight function that limits activation to nighttime hours.
