Home Protection - Maximum Security



Home Protection

In this technological age, it is easier than ever to protect your home. But, home security is more than just a fancy security system.  Home security also involves smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, cameras, firearms and safes. Using a variety of these methods can help protect you, your family, and your property from theft, damage, or other calamities.

Home Alarms
When someone says 'home security' the first thought is an alarm system. While effective, they are usually expensive and not foolproof. Seeing the sign in your front yard can be an impressive theft deterrent for most burglars, but the actual electronics is where it counts.

There are various types of electronic alarm systems for your home out there, with different set-ups, features, and prices. You will need to examine the specific needs of your home or property to determine what kind of system you will need and afford. Many home insurance companies also offer discounts to your policy with the installation of a home security system. Check with your insurance agent.


Smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are also under the alarm umbrella. Most homes have cheap, battery powered detectors, but with a home security system, these alarms can be tied into the system giving you one interface for your entire home.

Cameras
For those who want to increase their home security but don't want to put in the expense of a complicated security system, using cameras around the property can be useful. Having a camera outside of your home or in the home can be obvious, so there are small, hidden cameras that will allow you to keep an eye on things without anyone knowing.

Nanny-cams are especially effective if you are concerned with the level of care a babysitter is giving to your children, or what your children are up to when you're away from home. Nanny-cams are small cameras that are put in teddy bears, toys, or other innocuous items in a particular room or rooms. The images can be streamed through an internet connection for remote viewing or into an internal memory card for later viewing.

Motion sensor cameras are often used on the exterior of a property to cover any points of entrance, only activated when someone or something steps into the signal field of the camera. While useful, a motion sensor camera can also pick up any wildlife or vermin that trip the sensor if the settings are set too high.

Firearms
Another line of defense for a homeowner is the purchase of a firearm. Technology can help in this aspect as well, with the addition of a laser sight. Many home defense and self-defense firearms are sold with a laser sight built it. In the case of a home evasion, you won't have to worry about trying to aim through the tiny sights on the top of the barrel but merely make sure the red dot is where you want it.

With firearm ownership, it is imperative that a gun safe be purchased as well. This ensures that, if your home were to be burglarized, your firearms won't be stolen and used against you or your family, or used in the commission of another crime.

Gun safes can be used for more than just firearms. They are ideal for the safekeeping of important documents, pictures, jewelry, and any other prized items. Most gun safes are also fire proof and water proof to a certain degree (check the documentation with the safe).

With the help of technology, you can take a few steps to ensure the safety of your family and your home.

  3. The primary reason a security system in the home is important is that it creates a safer environment for the entire family. The system will alert homeowners if someone has attempted to break into the house. Once the system is installed, let your child take the regions: allow them to turn the alarm on and off when you leave the house together, teach them exactly how the systems works, and tell them what to do in case there’s ever a false alarm.
