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.

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.
