Are you interested in buying your house a security system? Many folks buy one without really needing one. Simple habits, such as locking your doors at all times may give you all the protection that you need.
Home security systems do more than sounding an alarm in case of a break in. Many systems sound an alert whenever people enter the house. This can be useful if you’ve got small children that are able to open doors.
Buy a safe to keep all of your valuables in one place at home. If an intruder breaks into your home, at least these valuables will be secure. Keep it hidden in a hard to find location.
If you keep a spare key outside to prevent yourself from being locked-out, think carefully about where you hide it. Intruders will think to look on the top if a door frame and under a doormat. Try to find somewhere less obvious.
If you do not know the person at your door, don’t open it. You have no way of knowing if the stranger on the other side of the door wishes to do you harm. Establish a rule where you and your family only open the door for expected visitors.
Avoid coming across as overly shy. Talk to your neighbors. Ask them to watch your home if you are on vacation. You shouldn’t neglect gossip. Important security details (like the presence of strangers in your neighborhood) can come out of the most innocent conversations.
The fist thing you’ll need to do for home security is to get new locks. Perhaps you aren’t sure who owned the home before you or maybe an old roommate has a key and never returned it. Regardless, changing the locks will ensure your security. This doesn’t usually cost much, and it can be accomplished in less than a day.
Your home may be equipped with skylights, and if so you must not neglect them in your security planning. Skylights are nice to bring extra light into your house, but they are also easy ways for burglars to enter your home. Use heavy-duty hardware to secure your skylights to the roof.
Avoid leaving spare keys outside of your home. You may believe you are making life easier for yourself, but you may just be giving thieves simple access to your house. Thieves aren’t stupid and also know common hiding spots. A better option is to entrust an honest neighbor with a spare key.
Always lock your home, regardless of how short your trip out is. Surprisingly, lots of burglaries occur because the burglar was able to simply walk in without having to actually break in. A thief can take plenty of valuables in minutes.
Rotten Wood
Rotten wood on door and window frames needs to be repaired. Rotten wood is easily removed and can give an intruder a way into your home. Replace dead wood with thick, firm pieces to maintain a high level of security.
Your first priority when you move to an apartment or house where others have lived in before is to replace all the locks. Previous tenants may have given the keys back to the landlord, but it is always possible to make copies of keys. This will help safeguard that there is no one else with your key.
When allowing a representative from any security company to enter your home, look for someone in uniform and ask to see an identification. It is simple for a thief to pose as a representative of your home security company as a means of gaining access to your house. This is a danger to your belongings and your family. Use caution to stay out of danger.
When hiring a home security company, make sure to read the fine print on the contract you are signing. There may be hidden expenses involved if you terminate service before the contract term is up, and there may be added equipment fees. Avoid nasty charges or fees regarding early termination, contract expiration and additional features or equipment.
A security system for the home might be necessary for you. But, perhaps all you need to do is make some changes in your home. When you know of all your choices, you will make a better choice.
It’s important to add a camera system to your home or business. This system turns your home or office computer into a powerful, world-wide video surveillance system in 5 minutes or less. Now we’ve put together a complete wireless USB DVR all-in-one surveillance package for you.
