All I Want for the Holiday Season is... a Gift of Security
The holiday season is a time for joy, family, and unfortunately... a 21-year record high in theft [i].
Recent data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) confirms that theft victims increased by 6% in 2024, reaching levels not seen since 2003. With break-ins trending upward, the summer holiday period—when homes are full of expensive gifts and owners are miles away at the beach—creates the perfect storm for criminal activity.
But don't let the stats steal your Christmas spirit. By putting a few smart measures in place now, you can ensure the only person sneaking onto your property this season is the jolly man in red.
This year, skip the socks. Give a gift that lasts all year round: the gift of security.

For "The Package Protector"
The goal: Catch couriers and deter porch pirates.
Product: Hikvision 2-Wire Digital Video Intercom Kit Model: DS-KIS702Y-P
Why it fits: This is the industry standard for residential front doors. It provides an essential wide-angle view of the ground to clearly see packages left by couriers; its core benefit is the hassle-free 2-Wire technology which uses existing doorbell wiring, while still delivering smart security features like built-in Wi-Fi and Hik-Connect app support for immediate mobile alerts and remote two-way communication, all housed within a highly durable and vandal-proof aluminum alloy casing suitable for any residential environment.
Alternative (Sleek Design): DS-KV6113-WPE1 (Plastic casing, slimline).
For "The Holiday Traveller"
The goal: Active deterrence while the house is empty.
Product: Hikvision ColorVu "Live Guard" Turret Camera
Model: DS-2CD2367G2H-LISU/SL (6MP) or DS-2CD2387G2H-LISU/SL (8MP for 4K quality)
Why it fits: The "SL" in the model number stands for Strobe & Light. This camera doesn't just record - it fights back. When it detects a human in your driveway, it flashes a bright light and can play a pre-recorded audio warning ("Warning: You are in a restricted area"), scaring off intruders before they break in.
For "The Independent"
The goal: Secure windows and doors without ugly wiring.
Product: Hikvision AX PRO Wireless Alarm Kit Model: HIK-ALARM-KIT-V1 + extra DS-PDMC-EG2-WB (Wireless Reed Switch)
Why it fits: The AX PRO system is entirely wireless, meaning no messy drilling around your beautifully decorated Christmas tree. The Magnetic Reed Switches (DS-PDMC-EG2-WB) are tiny sensors that trigger an alarm the instant a window or door is forced open.
For "The Off-Grid Adventurer"
The goal: Monitor the holiday shack or farm shed without power.
Product: For temporary solution that works: EZVIZ 3MP Outdoor Wi-Fi 6 Camera Solar Kit CS-EB3/SP
Why it fits: For a heavy-duty solution, check out TP-Link VIGI 4G Full Colour PT Solar Kit 60W KIT-TP-4GSOLAR60W, or Hikvision DS-2XS6A87G1-L/C32S80 which combines a solar panel, battery, and 4G modem into one unit. It can pan and tilt to look around the property and sends alerts directly to your phone via the 4G network, no Wi-Fi or mains power required.
For "The Insurance Check"
The goal: Reliable, long-term evidence storage.
Product: Hikvision AcuSense DVR (Digital Video Recorder)
Model: iDS-7208HUHI-M2/S
Why it fits: This recorder uses AcuSeek technology to categorise footage by "Human" or "Vehicle," making it incredibly fast to find the exact moment an incident occurred without watching hours of empty footage. DVRs with AcuSense will help if the worst happens, so you have a crystal clear evidence for your insurance claim.
