Are Alarms Effective at Anything Other than Making A Noise

?

We are fortunate to be residing in a beautiful country!! Where else might you find such a kaleidoscope of national richness blended with the vast beauty our 9 provinces have to offer? And which other country can brag with no less than 11 official languages? South Africa is evidently the land of milk and honey.

However, along with the great beauty and assortment of this land comes the inescapable fact that there are also huge concerns in the form of criminal activity, power struggles and other adverse factors. For this reason we have to take special care in order to make our residential as well as work environments as safe (but still comfortable!) as possible.

Alarms, electric fencing, fierce guard dogs and armed response forms part of our daily lives and we typically have either the police or the security company on speed dial. By simply taking a number of basic safety measures and precautions we are able to do a great deal to contribute to the safety and protection of our friends and family.

Add a four-legged friend or 2 to the family. People often make the mistake to think that only fierce fighter dogs are efficient security measures. It is indeed true that dogs such as Rottweilers, Bullterriers, Dobermans as well as other fighter dogs would probably make an intruder think twice before trespassing on your premises. But if you do not have a big enough house or yard for such a dog, you can still buy a smaller doggy as an extra "alarm system". Dogs are extremely good at warning a person when anything is wrong and an early announcement can still give you sufficient time to react.

Have an alarm system installed. The most effective alarms are obviously the ones linked to an armed response company, because these companies will promptly send an unit to your premises. And even if it might be a false alarm now and then, there is no doubt that an armed unit will be on your front doorstep as soon as that alarm goes off. Should you not want to connect your security alarm to a reaction unit, the sound of the alarm might still scare off crooks - they cannot know for sure that the alarm system is not linked to an unit!

Try to be watchful especially when leaving your home in the morning and arriving back after work. Burglars know that you are usually busy with a zillion and one thoughts (anything from an issue at work to what to make for supper!) and when you're not paying much attention you might be left vulnerable and open.

Do not keep to the same pattern day after day. This might not be very possible, but try to not always leave your home at the exact same time, follow the same road to university and work, and arrive back each evening at the same time. When you are so predictable you are an easy target as criminals will know when there's no one at your home and when it will be the least difficult to break in!

By activating your alarms when you leave the house, making sure that all gates are properly locked and just being a little bit more on guard, you can take some precaution and not become part of the crime statistics associated with our country!
