As the economy continues to worsen it seems like the number of burglaries and home invasions is on the increase
. I don't think that's just in Colorado Springs, my own home town, I think it's common all over the country. Why is it do you suppose that home security companies do so much advertising on TV and in the paper?
Home security is a $6 billion a year business and growing.
There are several things that you can do that are free or low-cost to beef up your home security.
1. First is to start or join a local neighborhood watch program. They are free and are very effective
2. Second put a sign in your front yard warning of a vicious guard dog. Burglars look for things like that when they're "casing" a neighborhood. They don't want any trouble.
3. Third remove shrubs around lower-level windows and doors that can provide hiding places for the bad guys.
4. Install some motion activated spotlights. They are inexpensive and provide great nighttime security.
5. But the absolute best thing you can do is to install some home security cameras to beef up your security. Security cameras send a message the bad guys to stay away or get caught. The best place to put one is at your front door and back door. You can get to good security cameras for less than $150.00 each-a total of $300. Isn't your $200,000 home worth a $300.00 investment?
Unfortunately there is no such thing as a home security camera store. You can get the very best selection, prices and convenience by shopping online.
When are you getting one?
The best deals for hidden cameras are on the Internet for sure. There you can find an assortment of distributors. Look for one who does his business full time and can answer your questions before the sale. That way you will know he'll be there is you have a problem after the sale. Look for a distributor who is proud of his low prices. That is your assurance of getting the best deals on hidden cameras.
A covert hidden spy camera can be an even better deterrent than a burglar alarm or a security guard. A camera can be used to identify the bad guys catching them red handed indoors or outdoors.
Chances are if you are reading this that crime has touched your life in some way or you consider yourself at risk. Take the next step and do something to protect yourself! Your life, home security and safety is worth far more than the cost of a hidden camera.
