Do you want to secure your home with an alarm system? Many people buy one without considering if they actually need one. Things that you do, such as always locking your doors, can make a big difference and may provide you with all the security you need.
Take extra measures to keep valuables that cannot be replaced secure. Passports, jewelry and expensive electronics must be secured at all times. You can keep these things in a floor safe placed in a secure area of your home. It is even better to rent a safe deposit container for absolute security.
If your social networking accounts are filled with folks you do not really know, do not announce vacations on the sites. Although your first instinct is to share the news about an upcoming trip that excites you, the info may well fall into the hands of people who’d be interested in burglarizing your home while you’re away.
Compare various home security systems when shopping. You would be surprised to see that the prices are much different for each company, even though it’s for the same type of protection. Make sure to obtain quotes from a minimum of three companies prior to deciding on a final one.
Don’t open up your door for someone who is a stranger. Burglars have many clever ways to convince householders to open the door. Keep a hard, fast rule that says you only open the door for invited guests in order to keep your family safe.
Don’t utilize spring latch locks. These locks are easy to break into since they may be opened up with a credit card. A card can be placed between the latch and the door, and this will open it. Add a deadbolt if you do not want to replace your spring latch locks.
Captive keylock deadbolts are your best bet. They have a thumb latch, making it impossible for someone to break the window, reach in and turn them. If you are home, have a key inside the lock so you can easily exit if a fire breaks out.
Solicit word of mouth recommendations from friends, colleagues and family members to find a great home security company or system. They have likely had interactions with home security providers that they can tell you about, saving you time and stress. Ask around so you’ll have as much advice as you need in order to make a sound decision.
Before you give a security company employee access to your home, make sure they’re in uniform and that they present acceptable 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 situation presents danger to your home, family and belongings. Be careful to avoid this sort of danger.
All doors leading into your home should be made from solid wood or metal. Those are the doors that last. A burglar would not be able to kick that door in. You are probably able to replace your exterior doors for a small price, so do that soon.
Spare Key
If you want to minimize the maintenance required by your security system, go with one that’s hard-wired. A wireless system required the regular replacement of many batteries. If you don’t replace the batteries, you’ll find that your system stops working correctly. It can be expensive to replace a ton of batteries.
Do not hide your spare key under your doormat or in a nearby planter. Though you may think you are giving yourself a way into your home if you lose your key, you are actually inadvertently inviting intruders into your home. Burglars always know just where to look. A better option is to entrust an honest neighbor with a spare key.
Why not give your trusted dog the job of holding onto your spare key? Outdoor dogs or pet doors make this possible. You could simply put a key onto your dog’s collar, so it is always handy.
Avoid coming across as overly shy. Talk to your neighbors. Keep watch of their homes when they are away, and ask if they will return the favor. Do not ignore gossip either. You could learn important security information, such as if strangers have been lurking around the neighborhood.
The walls are a perfect hiding place. Hide valuables inside of your walls. Place them in switch plates, phone jacks or an electric outlet. You can also install a fake one.
Use exterior lights that have motion sensors. These kinds of lights will pop right on when they detect motion near your home. The lights will notify you of motion and also deter would be burglars. Just do not forget to replace the bulbs periodically to keep them functioning at all times.
It is not enough to buy an alarm for your home. It needs to connect with the police if a burglar sets it off. An alarm system with full-time monitoring by a security company is the safest option. You can rest assured that the police will be called by the company. Don’t rely solely on your neighbors to notify the police.
It is always best to not put your expensive belongings on display in the windows where everyone can see. If you can easily view high-value items from outside the house, chances are that a potential thief may also be able to see them. Have blinds or drapes up so your possessions are not visible from the outside. If you can’t cover every window, keep your valuables in rooms that are blocked from view.
A home security system may be the right choice for you and your family. You may actually just need to make some adjustments around the house. You must know your options to see what is best for you.
You should invest in a timer to turn lights on and off at regular times. They will go on when you need them, plus they’ll also go on when you’re not home.
