cost of home security system

Home Security Surveillance can monitor an intrusion by reacting to the noise or video them without “breaking the bank”. It requires very installation and most of all, no monthly payments.

Most Home Burglaries happen during the day when people are at work or are doing the household errands. Some happen while people are on vacation or visiting family or friends and even next door for coffee.. Burglars typically spend less than 15 minutes in a home.

What would a thief who is looking over a neighborhood to plan a Home Burglary be checking for on a house to rob? Does the home appear to have a Alarm system to protect it? Is there anyone home? Can entry be made by an unlocked door or window? Is Garage Door left open? Newspapers accumulating in front of the home?

He may have answered some of these in a neighborhood drive-by surveillance prior to the actual burglary. Noting that the lady of the house goes to coffee next door each day at a certain time and doesn’t lock the door. Even watching as a family leaves for shopping or entertainment. Watching for newspapers or flyers in front of a house that have accumulated. Is the home dark and apparently unoccupied.

Let us look at what happened to someone else. I just read of a Police Officers home being burglarized while he was off duty and not home. The Burglars parked their car in front of the home in the evening. Normally a time when the neighbors would be at home. They broke into the home and stole his Laptop, a Tv, and the Officer’s Gun. Then to add to it they stole an auto that was in the garage and whose keys they easily found in the house.

While most Burglaries happen in the daytime the crook evidently had cased the neighborhood to know that the home was not occupied that evening. Maybe he saw the Owner drive off. No sign to indicate he had an alarm system. His Neighbors apparently d1d not know him well enough to recognize that something wrong was going on at his home. Neighbors can be great watch helpers to each other. Also he had apparently left his Gun and keys to the car in the garage in a pretty easy place to find in the home.

Six Simple and Inexpensive things he might have done to help prevent this theft.

1. Noise and lights are enemies of this type of thief. When he succeeded in entering through a door and had heard an alarm go off while in the process he would have probably left. A Door Alarm to do so costs less than $10.00. The same alarm can be used at windows that may be broken to enter. An Alarm that sounds when motion is detected is less than $20.00. Door Braces that will not allow a door to be pushed open are less than $16. Barking Dog Alarms work even when it detects someone outside the home with its radar detector type system.

2. If he had a cell phone a Motion Alarm could be set to notify him if there was someone in his home. An alarm that detects motion will sound an alarm and also dial up to 5 preset telephone number to alert someone. These can be found that cost from $35.00 to $80.

3. Motion lights come on outside of the home. Cost is $25 to $35. The Burglar is not sure if the Motion Light works other alarms and might decide to leave.. Barking Dog Alarms work even when it detects someone outside the home with its radar detector type system. It sounds real and costs around $100. Again the crook might have second thoughts/ You can get a combination Alarm that will trigger an outside or inside light to come on, and warn of something happening outside or inside of your home for around $150.00.

4. A Hidden camera can record from 1500 to 2500 feet away and record a prowler or entry by a burglar. It can be hooked up to the home computer to show what is recorded. Cost can range from $160 to $550 depending on if it is wired or wireless, black and white or colored, IP Cameras can be plugged directly into your computer network and accessed remotely. You can also set-up email to notify you of motion. These can range from $200 to $400. One lady, with a similar system, accessed her computer while at the office and observed Burglars in her home. She watched them while waiting for the police she had called, to arrive and got to observe the arrests.

5. Diversion Safes that look like cans of soft drinks, house cleaners and toiletries are available at around $20. Keys to the car in the garage or even the gun could have been left in a few of them.

6. Even with some kind of alarm system do leave lights on, or lights that automatically come on at dark. Leave the television on, to make your home look occupied. Leave your porch lights and rear lights on to help the neighbors see someone that shouldn’t be there. Ask neighbors to watch your home when gone for extended times. Burglars are looking for the easy homes to steal from. Don’t have one. Check with your insurance agent. Some offer lower costs if you have some kind of home security.

Be Aware and Alert Always!

What is the most effective home security?

We are going to be buying a house this year and are going to have a security system installed. Which is the best company or type of alarm? I have seen the coating for windows that makes them almost impossible to break through, how much does it cost and does it really work? Any suggestions on home security will be appreciated. We will be getting an English bulldog and have 2 cats so motion detectors inside are out.

Know who you let in your home. 90% of all home burglaries are committed by someone who has been in the home in the recent past. Most are by amateurs who turn out to be juveniles and it happens in the mid afternoon. Car prowls on the other hand happen at night when the car is parked on the street.
Basic intrusion systems involve window and door sensors that are activated by opening them.
Other than yourselves, what is in your home that you wish to protect? What items could be stolen. Highly desirable items such as TV’s stereos and computers are the primary targets besides cash.
