  • A security system is a network of integrated electronic devices working in conjunction with a central control panel to protect against intruders.

    Security systems have become more versatile than ever.

    From digital security cameras to remote-controlled locks, automated security systems are now controllable from the phone.

Benefits having a home security system

Notes:

  • Why Home Security:

    Providing you with access to the most critical information at the snap of your finger is the best thing that ever happened. Home security systems comprise door and window sensors, high-decibel alarms, motion sensors, yard signs, and a primary control panel:

  • One can remotely manage the house. It gives the user freedom to move without fearing for his or her house’s safety.
  • Benefits:

    When you have professional monitoring of your home and advertise this using yard signs and window stickers, you are letting burglars know that they cannot go unfound. If you do not even have an intensive home security system, place the yard signs, sometimes it is enough to keep burglars away.

  • Most home insurance companies offer great discounts when you have a home security system.

Switching to wireless monitoring

Notes:

  • Monitoring systems, even ancient ones, is a possibility. Traditionally, connecting alarm systems to telephone lines was a feat, and when the alarm was tipped, it sent the signal via the phone line.
  • Technological advances have enabled sending of signals via cell towers instead of phone lines eliminating the feasibility of burglars cutting phone lines in the event of a burglary.
  • The primary aspect that sets this method apart from many others is its key-less entry framework. So, there is no need to keep ‘the keys’ in a safe place. There are various kinds of Wireless security frameworks such as Pin code bolt, Card section framework, and Biometric framework.
  • What components makeup a sound home security system:

    • Motion Sensors:

      turns on lights, security cameras, and other devices whenever they sense motion within a perimeter. The only drawback may be the triggering of motion lights with the movement of a night animal such as a raccoon or other: [view pros cons motion sensors]

    • Indoor/Outdoor Cameras:

      records both inside and outside for any suspicious activity that can be saved to your PC or cloud storage. This is particular helpful when traveling away from home. There are both motion-sensored and continuous recording: [reviews wifi cloud recording]

    • Door/Window Sensors:

      detects when either the exterior doors or windows are opened. When either of these entry points open, the circuit is broken that sets off an alarm (either by a sound alarm and/or to your wifi monitor and/or security company). Almost all systems will trigger after a period of time. That allows you to disarm the alarm when opening doors by you or your family: [door sensor secrets]

    • Glass Break Detectors:

      sounds the alarm if any of the glass breaks – an inexpensive sensor item that protects you in the event a person breaking in – one of the most common ways burglars try to enter a premise: [window sensors vs. glass breakers]

    • Door Bell Monitor:

      allows you to monitor front entry when some one approaches the door – or if a person walks off with a package that has been left at the door steps. These door bell monitors allow you to view, monitor, and address the person before opening: [benefits installing smart doorbell]

Installing window locks and alarm systems

Notes:

  • Windows are a robber’s best friend as they are the weakest point of entry. Most security home systems like Security by Reliant offer window sensors that sound an alarm when breaking. These highly affordable and effective window locks are perfect to use on first floor and basement windows.
  • One great product that you can invest in is a lock pick set online in case you get locked out of your home or want to indulge in this hobby. It’s a great addition to the home security scene.
  • Ensure you get the latest alarm system that is compatible with your cellphone and the caution framework in the security system or police. If there is attempted breaking in, the alert is sent to your phone and the polices.

Upgrade old panel board

Notes:

  • There is a lot of truth in the phrase old is gold. If you still own an old security system, upgrading it is a better option. By merely changing your control panel board will give the system more outstanding competencies.
  • Smartphones cannot control older systems; upgrading the panel allows the user to hold it at anyplace, anytime.
  • Have you consider using home automation: [ scroll back up ]
    • you can use a home automation system as your new control panel
    • simply connect your wifi home security to the automation panel for wifi monitoring and control
    • you can also add home lighting controls, electrical appliances, sockets, HVAC, and other smart home components

Get yourself Echo Dot

Notes:

  • Some of the above-listed ways of upgrading security systems might be too pricey for some people. Alexa Guard is a feature on Echo devices that acts as a security device for your home. It works through the collection of sounds and alerting the user if there is impending danger.
  • Alexa Guard listens to sounds for high pitch sounds like breaking the glass to shallow sounds like carbon monoxide gushing out.
  • It sends a 10-second clip of the sounds, and you get to choose which ones you would want to be considered dangerous. It also has machine algorithms that mimic silhouette-like patterns of someone sitting on the couch to scare intruders.
  • An Echo Dot goes for $25 on Amazon, but if you already have the feature on your phone, setting up the monitoring service is free.
  • Other home security items you need to consider:
    • Fire Safety:

      by using smart smoke alarms (both wired and wireless connections) that detect smoke. Include in your fire safety plan a family escape plan, fire blankets, and fire ladders for two-story homes and basements with window wells: [about home fires]

    • Carbon Monoxide Detectors:

      carbon monoxide is and odorless, tasteless, and colorless gas that can be extremely dangerous if it goes undetected. You should have detectors in major rooms and floor levels: [FAQs about carbon monoxide and prevention]

    • Radon Detectors:

      radon is a naturally-occurring radioactive gas that is odorless and colorless. On the outside it is harmless. But it can get trapped on the inside of the home after seeping through cracks and holes in the foundation. Breathing radon over time increases your risk of lung cancer: [testing for radon gas]

    • Flood Monitors:

      sensors that notify you of leaking pipes and water build-up in the basement. Limits the potential of a major floor or water damage: [how home security can help with flooding]

    • Pet GPS:

      your pets are just like children who lack the sense of danger when roaming off the property. So forget about tagging notices on poles about a missing dog or cat. Instead use pet GPS trackers: [about pet GPS trackers]

Using drones

Notes:

  • Drones conduct surveillance over designated perimeters. Sunflower Labs debuted their new Sunflower Home Awareness system with drones looking like bees and vibration sensors looking like simple garden lights. These provide a more detailed inspection and are a security measure recommended for all home users.
  • FINAL REMARKS

    We may not be sure who is or who isn’t a burglar by just looking at them. Using drones and installing cameras is the easiest way to ensure safety in your home or apartment is to take the necessary steps, so you no longer have to keep looking behind your shoulder.
