Something tragic or bad can and will occur when you’re not expecting it. Never risk putting you and your family in danger due to neglecting your safety. Read the guidelines in this guide in order to make your house a safe place that will scare intruders from coming in.
Your pup is a great crime deterrent. They are protective of their home and owner and will alert you if someone is on your property. The dog doesn’t have to be huge or even vicious. Small dogs also help, because intruders don’t want people to notice the barking.
A wireless security system could be a good option. Systems that are wired can be a little cheaper, but may need significant reworking of your home’s electrical wiring and can fail in a power outage. A wireless system is easy to install, and will not become inoperable if your power goes out.
Do not use locks with spring latches. These locks are easy to break into since they may be opened up with a credit card. Intruders can pick these locks by wedging a credit card in between the latch and the door. If you have already installed spring latch locks, consider adding a deadbolt for even more security.
When you aren’t home, make sure your windows are covered. Intruders can look into your house if the blinds are up. If they spot an item they’re interested in, they will most likely try to enter. You should have the windows covered when you’re asleep.
Arrange for someone to pick up your mail and remove any fliers from your door if you are out of town. Thieves will drop off flyers to see if home owners are away. A flier that hangs around for days on end lets burglars know that there’s no one in the home.
See if your security company only sells equipment, or if they will lease it to you instead. Buying will save you a ton of money over time. Leasing is cheaper, but there may be hidden fees and contracts. Check out both options and determine which is best for you.
Ask your home security company how long they have been in business before you sign up for service. Many years of service bode well for the company’s performance. Being in the hands of a good company helps you have peace about your decision.
Make sure that your garage is not visible from the outside in. Frosted windows prevent thieves from looking into your home and are inexpensive. Also keep your garage door closed whenever possible, especially if you will be stepping away from it for an extended period of time.
Invite a security company to come to your house and figure out a system that will work for you. You need some features which other families may wish to do without. If you find a company that will tailor the plan you choose to your needs, you can get the highest level of security that makes you feel comfortable.
Maintain the exterior areas in your house so they are well lit. Criminals like to blend into the shadows, so do your best not to provide too many for them. Motion sensor lights can work great because they can also alert you when someone does come onto the property. Consider all your doors, porches, patios, decks, garages and all ground-level windows.
Check out your garage to ensure that it is secure. Intruders can enter your home through an unlocked garage door. Place a C-Clamp on the door track near the roller. This will prevent the door from lifting.
Think about what you need to feel safe before considering security systems. Although these systems can protect you and your family, not everybody needs them. In certain areas, it may be just as useful to learn self defense or buy a dog, whereas other places may require added measures. Comprehend the risks associated with your home security so you now can make a more well-informed buying decision.
If you come home and see your door ajar, never investigate it alone. The thief may remain inside. Your best bet is to contact the authorities and wait outside for them to get there.
Protect your spare key by using your dog. This can be done if your dog can come outside. Place a spare key on the collar, and when you really need a spare, you know where to go!
Unfortunately, burglars can be extremely unpredictable. As a result, knowing when your home may be targeted can be difficult. Don’t be in denial, do what it takes to be safe. Take these tips to heart, and continue learning about the best ways to keep your home secure.

This DVR has full networking capability and uses an embedded DVR which allows you to view live video on the Internet or play back recorded video.
