How to Secure Your Home with Surveillance and Monitoring Systems.
INSTALLING a security system has long been considered the domain of professionals - uniformed men and women who build an electronic shield around your home and monitor it from a command center. At least that is what the commercials always seem to suggest.
Some home security systems are complex and should be installed by a professional. However, there are many good home security systems sold in kit forms that can be installed by any do-it-yourselfer. Most simple systems use a bell, loud buzzer, or other sound source to note intrusion.
Walk around your house and identify the places most vulnerable to a break-in. Statistics show that doors are the number one target in burglaries, so be sure to place sensors on all the exterior doors. Another area prone to break-ins is windows.
A security alarm is a system designed to detect intrusion - unauthorized entry - into a building or area. Security alarms are used in residential, commercial, industrial, and military properties for protection against burglary ( theft) or property damage, as well as personal protection against intruders. Car alarms likewise protect vehicles and their contents.
Home security systems, combined with automated monitoring, can help protect your home from thieves. New technology means that you have many more options for boosting your home security. You can use a variety of home protection services, a mobile phone app, or even a low-tech solution such as an automated dimmer switch.
Shop carefully, as pricing, sales tactics and home security options vary widely An electronic home security system can be the source of great peace of mind or great financial headache. That's because buying a system, and the alarm monitoring that often goes along with it, can be a thorny purchase, fraught with such perils as wildly differing prices, high-pressure sales tactics and unfriendly contracts.
