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]

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:
