You finally find the perfect house, one that fits your needs completely, you buy it and voila, you are a proud owner of your own little heaven.
So far so good, but wouldn't you want to keep that hard earned place safe from intruders? Your precious belongings away from the hands of hungry greedy burglars? Your little darlings safe from ruthless murderers? Yes, keeping your house safe and secure is another important task that most of us tend to ignore. As it is, property and house crime rates stood at an astonishingly high percentage in the year 2009, and they continue to rise.
In this article, we'll give you some handy and easy to implement tips to secure your homes from all these horrors so at the end of the day, you can sleep with peace, knowing that you're safe from that prowling danger. Here goes:
The first and foremost thing is to buy your house in a locality that is generally considered to be safe and has an overall low crime rate. Also a location that has a police station nearby would be a safe bet. Another important factor includes being in an area that is decently populated, areas that are sparsely populated are more prone to burglaries.
Another important factor to keep an account for is the locks on the doors. All the locks on every single door must be checked and the duplicate copies must be made so that each member has his/her own personal set of keys. Also if a burglary is suspected or if keys are misplaced, it would be a good idea to change the locks immediately.
If you are in possession of valuables such as gold, cash or any other valuable, it is advisable to get a locker built in a place that the robbers wouldn't suspect or care to check. Such as a small locker built under a rug.
It is recommended to have a security protocol with the family where each family member is aware of what he/she is supposed to do in case of an emergency or a burglary. This greatly aids in avoiding any harm.
The best tip is what we've saved for last- get a home security DVR cameras system installed. A security dvr system is a custom built surveillance system that is designed to monitor homes and to make sure that if any unforeseen circumstances or a suspected burglary occurs, the household is made aware through an alarm. A home security DVR system records videos from various corners of the house (both indoors and outdoors) through cameras placed all around. These are connected either through the internet, a LAN setup or through the very basic TV cables.
If the above instructions are followed, your home is secured to a huge extent, if not completely. As it is said, it is better to be safe than sorry.
