Staying Safe: What You Need To Know About Home Security

If you are woman who is single or mother who needs peace of mind in your home, you may be very concerned about home security. You can take certain steps to help yourself feel better and less afraid. For example, start by reading this article.

Wireless alarm systems are a great investment. Systems that are wired are cheaper, but they need unattractive wiring inside your home and may malfunction when you have a power outage. A wireless system, on the other hand, requires less maintenance and is simpler to install.

One of the best home burglary systems is man’s best friend. Dogs can be extremely protective of their space and are great at barking when something is afoot. It doesn’t need to be a huge dog either. Even small dogs can keep intruders away since they don’t want lots of noise when committing crimes.

TIP! Ask about the history of any home security company you are considering. Find a home security company that has a good reputation and many years of experience to get excellent service.

If you retain a space key for when you get locked out, consider the place you hide it carefully. People will check your doormat and frame first. Try hiding the key in your outside dog’s collar.

Motion Sensitive

Screw your window air conditioners into the wall tightly or put bars around it. A burglar could easily slide them out and get inside if you don’t have them secured. Take them out in the winter, too.

TIP! Program your lights to turn on and off at random intervals with a timer. They will go on when you need them, plus they’ll also go on when you’re not home.

Consult with your home security provider on whether they can supply lighting that is motion sensitive. Most companies will offer this service, and it illuminates the outside of the house whenever there is any movement. Motion sensitive lighting can scare off an intruder and allow you to safely enter your home.

Don’t avoid your neighborhood gossip. Instead, get to know him or her. If someone who looks suspicious is hanging around your home, this busybody might notice it first. When you’re on good terms with them, you are more likely to receive word of any unusual activity.

If your door isn’t either metal or solid wood, replace it with one that is. These doors are much more sturdy. It would be very hard for a burglar to kick it and go inside. It’s relatively inexpensive to get new exterior doors for your home.

TIP! Home security systems are able to do more than just sounding the alarm whenever you have an intruder. You can have your system alert you of any movement in certain areas of your home.

You need to install locks that are accessible from both inside and out. Ideal locks are deadbolts which lock with both internal and external key locks.

Don’t use your birthday as the passcode for a keypad lock. It is easy for anybody to learn your birthday, which makes it easy for them to access the house. Think instead of a more creative way to keep track of your code.

Motion sensor lights are a great investment. These lights will come on if someone walks near your home. This will discourage would be thieves and alert you to any movement on your property. Replace bulbs regularly and check the sensors once a month.

TIP! Before looking at home security systems, consider your personal security risks and safety needs. They can really protect your family, but they’re not something that everybody needs.

Skylights should be secure. As nice as they look, they’re a prime target for thieves. Skylights need to be installed correctly and safely, with hardware that will keep intruders out.

For improved security, put your home under video surveillance. You can have great home security with both hidden and visible video cameras. Visible cameras are a deterrent to most intruders, and should they decide to disable them, a hidden camera will continue to capture footage. Many surveillance systems will allow you to access them through your cell phone; therefore, you can ensure your home is safe even when you’re gone.

Find out more about the different contracts your security company offers. They all likely have different benefits and downsides. A long term contract should have a lower monthly rate but it also requires you to commit for a long period of time. A shorter term allows for flexibility, but it might be expensive.

TIP! Try not to have rooms that can be seen from outside. If you’re able to see your computer or television, burglars can as well.

Only provide your house cleaner with a key if you trust him or her implicitly. If you plan on giving them the key so that they can work in your home for over an hour, make sure that they’re reputable, hardworking, and honest. Make sure you verify all references. If applicable, call the BBB to inquire about their reputation.

Ask your home security company about coming to your residence and creating a system that is tailored to your personal needs. You need some features which other families may wish to do without. Working with a business that will look out for your specific interests will help you be much safer at home.

Get rid of all of the dead wood and vegetation in your yard during the summer months. These can pose a fire hazard due to heat and storms with lightning. Therefore, you need to regularly clean your yard so that your home is protected.

TIP! Spring latch locks are not a good option. Defeating a spring latch lock is a trivial endeavor; experienced burglars can get through one using nothing more than a credit card.

You don’t need expensive equipment in order to keep your home secure. There are many cheap products or even habits you can adopt to protect yourself. Use all the tips from this article and you will notice a difference.
