Home Security Strategies For The Savvy Homeowner

By Mark Mahaffey


Are you interested in creating the best home security system on a budget? If so, then you should choose a method that will protect your family with the least amount of components and month to month fees. As you consider purchasing your home alarm system, you will want to make sure you stick with the basics.

The main components that you will need in your home alarm system will be alerts on all your doors and windows. Knowing if someone has attempted to enter your house is important, and may give you time to escape through another exit. Posting signs outside your house that warn criminals of the presence of an alarm system is also a good idea.

You should also consider putting in CCTV. With this type of camera system, you can be virtually present someplace that you are not physically present. This means that if you have areas around your house that are ideal for criminals to hide in, you can watch those areas without actually physically putting yourself in danger. Areas such as garages, storage sheds, around tall trees and root tops are places that provide hiding places for criminals.

Sliding doors in a home are very risky. A burglar simply has to break the lock and then he can just slide the door open and come into your home. You can make these types of doors less risky, however, by inserting a long stick into the track in which the door slides. The door cannot be opened as long as that stick is there.

Believe it or not, your landscaping can also be an important part of your home security system. A thick row of thorny bushes is nearly impossible to get through without being injured severely. Just be sure to make the row very thick, so it will be extremely difficult for a thief to get through. The thicker the better!

Ornamental fencing may be a major part of the best home security system that you can put together. Consider putting in ornamental fencing. This type of tall fencing is very difficult to climb over and even harder to get through. If a criminal is faced with two houses to rob, and one has tall, ornamental fencing but the other does not, he will likely choose the house that does not have the fencing. He will probably reason that it is not worth going to all the extra trouble if he does not have to.
