Protecting Your Home in Cranleigh

With Cranleigh's property crime rate of 15.1 per 1,000 people and an increasing trend, residents should prioritise robust home security.

Its autonomous response, including activating lights and engaging speakers, aims to deter criminals before they can breach your property.
