Stay Safe With These Home Security Tips

By Mark Mahaffey


The best home security systems for families on a budget will be those which offer the best protection with minimal equipment and monthly fees. When shopping for a frugal home alarm system, focus on the essentials, leaving the fancier options for another day.

The main components that you will need in your home alarm system will be alerts on all your doors and windows. Knowing if someone has attempted to enter your house is important, and may give you time to escape through another exit. Posting signs outside your house that warn criminals of the presence of an alarm system is also a good idea.

CCTV is a type of cameras system that you can also use to keep your home safer. You probably have areas on your property that crooks could hide in, but of course you can't be in these areas all the time. Just put cameras in these places (such as out buildings, pool houses and large pet houses) so you can watch them to see if someone is hiding there.

Do you have sliding doors in your home? Sliding doors are a way that many crooks try to enter homes. If they can bust the door latch, then all they have to do is slide the door open and come in. Some people advocate putting a piece of wood in the track, so that if the crook manages to break the lock, he still cannot slide the door because the piece of wood prevents the door from moving in the track.

Believe it or not, your landscaping can also be an important part of your home security system. A thick row of thorny bushes is nearly impossible to get through without being injured severely. Just be sure to make the row very thick, so it will be extremely difficult for a thief to get through. The thicker the better!

Tall fencing is a great way to keep burglars out of your yard. Ornamental fencing can be purchased that is very tall and has the spokes close together. This makes it very difficult for someone to get through, and it may keep you safe from intruders!
