Home Yard Security

07.30.2008 | 1:44 am | Home Security Ideas

Often we remember to secure our home with an alarm system and/or security cameras.  But, too often, we forget to secure our yards.  While we can’t actually prevent someone from gaining entry into our yard (they could, after all, just hop the fence) the idea is to make it as cumbersome as possible for them.

Having a surveillance camera aimed at strategic entry points to your home and at your back or side yard gates is a great idea.  Of course, this will only help if the intruder decides to enter your yard.

So what should you do to protect your yard if you have already installed the greatest high tech home security system and surveillance cameras?

A simple padlock can be purchased for less than $10 at your local hardware store.  You’d be surprised how many people forget this one vital Home Security Product.

Happy 4th of July!

Security System Check Up

On June 8, 2008, the Governor’s Mansion in Texas was extensively damaged by fire.  It was reported that the Security Sytem installed at the Mansion was not working.  It apparently had been turned off after the Governor and his family had moved out.  It was supposed to have sounded an alarm which would have notified the guard on duty.

The Security Camera, however, did catch an image of a person starting the fire.  Hopefully, with this information they will catch the arsonist.

I urge you to periodically check your Home Alarm Systems and Security Cameras to make sure they are functioning correctly.

Whether you own a house, townhouse, cabin or condo your home is probably one of (if not THE) largest investment you’ll ever make.  Not only the building itself is important but all your possessions, momentos and, possibly even some valuable artwork, furniture or collectibles. 

Of course you have insurance for protection but that only kicks in AFTER the loss of a possession.  You need something to secure your home by preventing intruders from getting in to begin with. 

The simplest solution is a wireless home security alarm system. Easy to install-these systems don’t need an electrician since there are no wires - inexpensive, portable and reliable.  They are the perfect FIRST line of defense to protect your home and keep your family safe.
