Connect to a security system that deals with security on all levels. Your property has several zones. When implementing a comprehensive home security plan, be sure to focus on each zone.
Your property consists of your homes interior and exterior as well as the property surrounding the home and the valuables on the property and in the driveway. All of these zones make up the property, which you aim to secure and protect through a comprehensive security plan. Each area ought to be well protected in order to receive the best security possible.
First, your homes exterior ought to be well secured. The homes exterior includes the fences and gates that lead up to the home. Be sure to secure the gates and consider possibly adding a surveillance camera to the front gate. The homes exterior also includes the outside portion of the windows and doors. Here you want to make sure your windows and doors are strong. Many front doors are actually fairly weak. Either a hollow wooden door, weak areas around the doorknob, or one simple dead bolt equate to easy entry for a determined burglar. Consider a solid wood or metal door, securing the doorknob area with a metal plate, and adding additional locks to your doors. Be sure to go with extra long dead bolts. Old windows with weak sealants can also permit easy access into your home.
Second, the interior of your home should be protected. Focusing on your windows again, be sure that the inside is well-secured by adding more locking systems. It is relatively inexpensive to add a lock to each window that you can control from the inside. It makes it very difficult to enter, plus it allows you to connect it to a monitor as part of the home security system. The security system can use monitors at the points of entry around your home, namely the windows and doors. However, those areas need to be closed and secured in order to be included in the monitoring system.
Third, be sure to spend time focusing on the property surrounding your home. You may need to secure the gates leading to your backyard. You should also consider trimming the overgrown trees and bushes.
Fourth, do not forget the valuables and items stored around your home but still within your property. This includes the shed that contains all your expensive tools or vintage vehicles.
By focusing on each of the four zones to your property, you will be better able to secure the property against the crimes of third parties. Think beyond merely securing the doors and windows, and consider how your entire property can be protected against potential burglars. A professional burglar will study the target in depth and discover the weakest link. That means you must put yourself in the potential burglars shoes and think about the zones in your home that could be targeted. Think about the areas that are mostly forgotten by you and be sure to secure them as part of your comprehensive security plan.
