The time when people left their doors and windows open even when they were not home are long gone. More and more homeowners are installing some form of home video security or home alarm system.
It's sad but true, those days are gone in most locations around the world. Thieves and intruders are always looking for an easy entry into a home. If your home is not protected then you are practically inviting an intruder into your home.
The time of day does not seem to matter to burglars either. If you think that you can leave your door unlocked during the day, then you are completely mistaken. In fact, my neighbor left her door unlocked to run to the store. She was gone for only twenty minutes but it was long enough to have her home broken into. The intruder simply walked in took what he could carry.
Home video security would have helped her protect her home and at least potentially identified her intruder.
What type of home alarm system are you using?
Let's face it, you should really have some type of alarm system. The security companies will give you signs to use. Use them! Place a sign near your front door. Put one in your backyard if you live off of a park or walkway. Make sure that people know you have a home video security system or some form of alarm system.
Video cameras can be installed inside and outside the home. They can be obvious or they can be inconspicuous. Some systems allow you to monitor your home when you are away via the internet.
You can have a silent alarm that alerts the police or fire. You can have a loud alarm that alerts the entire neighborhood along with the emergency services. Another type of service offers voice to voice support. This is becoming one of the most popular forms of home alarm system. It also cuts down on false alarms as well.
A home video security system will help protect your home from potential intruders and it will give you peace of mind. Think about it.
