Creating A Diy Home Security System

The advantages of creating a home security system are obvious: you decrease the chances

of being a target of a home burglary and increase your chances of detecting and stopping a burglar or intruder. In order to secure your home however, you will need to do a lot more than just install a few alarm systems. But let us go step by step!

The first think you ought to do is have a locksmith check your external doors, windows, garage door and all of your locks. If any of them are too old, rusty or weak then it is best that you have them replaced with brand new ones. This can be quite costly and there isn't a way around it. Aside from this you should also install roller shutters on your first floor windows and keep these closed down tight during the night or while you are away. This means that the burglar won't be able to simply brake the window and enter your home and if your locks are brand new and strong then he will have a tough job getting in through that way as well.

However, experienced burglars might find a way to melt through your new locks like a knife through butter so you will need to invest into your next line of defense - an alarm system. Your best bet is to get a couple of small alarms from a company such as HomeSafe and then do a little tweaking of your own to them. Set them up so that they are invisible so that the burglar can't see them and deactivate them. Connect them with any other useful appliances you might have as well and if possible hook them up to an amplifier so that the alarm noise is much louder. You should also create a series of stickers to place around your yard, fence and gate that say something such as "This property is protected by Atlanta Security!"

The next step should be a couple of surveillance cameras for the outdoors and a hidden camera for your indoor area. This is very expensive and will total in a cost of a couple of thousand dollars which is not very affordable. If you cannot afford this then consider buying a "Dummy Camera" which a very popular device nowadays. It is a fake camera that is made inside of a case of a real one and it is hard to tell them from the real thing. These can cost less then $100 and are a great investment.

Finally, you should make sure you trim your yard so that no trees of flowers block the view towards your home. Make sure that there are no large bushes for burglars to hide in and install extra lights to illuminate your yard and backyard during the night. Always leave some lights on in the house, especially if you are going away for a couple of days. It is also wise to consult your neighbors and make a deal to watch over each others houses and report suspicious activities. Organizing a powerful community is certainly one of the best methods to decrease the crime rate in your area.
