We’d Love To Answer Your Home Security Questions

Do you want to secure your home with an alarm system? Many people buy one without considering if they actually need one. Locking your doors is a big deterrent and if you keep doing that, it can provide you with plenty of security.

Walls are great for hiding things. This is a great way to hide jewelry, for example. Simply take advantage of an unused switch plate, electrical outlet, or phone jack. You can easily install fake unused plates.

If you’re worried about how you’re going to be able to maintain a wireless system, you may want to opt for a wired one instead. Although wireless systems are easier, they usually require a lot of batteries that require changing regularly. If you neglect to switch out the batteries regularly, your security system won’t function properly. In addition, replacing multiple batteries can be expensive.

TIP! Having your home lit up and bright at night is a great deterrent to crooks. They don’t want anyone to see them.

Remember to have an annual inspection of your home security system. Get a security comapny tech to check it. A number of things may cause your alarm system to have problems, including mother nature and wild animals. You might be unaware of problems that arise in some cases.

Don’t hide your keys in obvious places. It is easy to spot a rock that is fake. A doormat is obvious, and a burglar is sure to look there. It is best to simply ask a neighbor or trusted friend to hold on to an extra key for you. If none of these options are possible, try to think of an unusual hiding place.

Seek recommendations from friends and family when choosing a security company or system. They may have had experiences with certain companies and can lead you in the right direction. By asking around, you will gain information about the pros and cons of a variety of options.

TIP! Make your home look occupied at all times. There are timers you can use to make electronics turn on and off at random times.

Try using interconnected smoke alarms inside your house. This type of alarm is linked with others in the same system. That way, when one alarm sounds the other alarms will also sound. This will help ensure that you will be able to hear the alarm if there ever is a fire in your home. The sooner you know about hazards such as fire, the more quickly you can eliminate the danger.

Many people use the second amendment as a means of protection from intruders. Learn how to shoot a gun and find one you are comfortable with. Knowing that a gun is at home can give you a real feeling of security.

Wireless security systems are the next generation in protection. While systems with wires are cheaper, you have to rewire your home and worry about power outages. A wireless system is easy to install, and will not become inoperable if your power goes out.

TIP! Advertise the fact that you have installed an alarm system. Window decals, yard signs and loud sounding alarms are good at preventing someone from breaking into the house.

You should always change the locks when moving in a new place. Whether you are renting or buying, this is a matter of concern. If renting, ask the landlord to change the locks. You might need to do this yourself or hire a professional to do it.

Although locks are good to use, you could not use them outside. Therefore this will not be of use to you. A deadbolt is always the best choice, and those with keys inside and outside guarantee a burglar cannot open it.

It is better to buy equipment from a security company directly, instead of from someone re-selling it. Re-sellers are out to score quick money, and they likely won’t offer you any guarantees. When dealing directly with the company, you can rest assured that you are not paying additional fees, and also that the company will be there to continuously service your equipment.

TIP! A dog is a great alarm system. They generally bark when someone comes close to their property.

Equipping each room in your house with a reliable flashlight (charged with good batteries, of course!) is an excellent safety investment. Having these in an easy to find place will allow you to see in the dark much quicker. Teach your children how to use the flashlights so that everyone in your household can help.

Be very careful about what goes in your trash. If a would-be thief spies a big-screen plasma TV box on the curb, they may decide to return later. This is true of large appliance boxes, too.

Ask your security company if they offer motion sensitive lighting. This system will cause the lights to flicker on when someone walks up to your home. This will make an intruder hesitant to break in, and it will provide you with additional safety whenever you arrive home late at night.

TIP! Obtain flashlights with solid batteries, and ensure they are kept in all the rooms of your home in the event of a power outage. These items will help you remain safe when there is no electricity.

Put the shades down on your windows when you are out. Leaving your windows unguarded exposes the interior of your home to everyone, including criminals looking for tempting targets. They’re going to want to get in your house if they can see items they want. You ought to keep them drawn while you are asleep.

A good security system will make your home a lot safer. It may also be a good idea to make a few changes around your home. Research each option and pick the best ones for your needs.

If you have valuable items that cannot be replaced, you must keep them under lock and key. Items like passports, family photos, financial records, expensive jewelry and legal documents are best kept in a secure location. You can keep these things in a floor safe placed in a secure area of your home. If you want to be very secure, you can put it in safety deposit boxes at your bank.

TIP! If you haven’t bought a paper shredder yet, make it a point to do so. Your trash contains so much personal information a thief would love to have.
