At one time or another we have all seen on television where someone owns the big house with the long lane, and at their gate is a security system, with an intercom, so that the homeowner will know who is at the gate.
This type of security systems are not just for the television, they are real and they can improve anyone's home security situation.
The driveway security systems of today even take it a little further.
Utilizing infrared sensors that are set in different locations, and pointed at separate locations along the route to the house, if a intruder crosses one of those sensors it will send a signal to a receiver in the house and the owner will be alerted.
There is also pressure sensitive tubes that can be ran across your driveway so that when a car or truck runs over it an alarm will go off.
All of these security procedures have one thing in common, to somehow let the home owner know that someone has entered their domain.
Perhaps it is intruder, perhaps a friend or a delivery person, but the point of the alarm is to inform you that someone is there.
Most of your systems today do come with motion detectors.
These security devices catch any movement, like that of a human being trying to get around the driveway beams.
It comes in pretty handy.
It is a lot easier today and a lot more affordable to have an intercom and a video camera installed.
This really enhances the security feature by allowing you to actually hear and see the visitor, welcome or not.
In addition, any film you take can come in quite handy if you ever have to confront someone in court.
Of course there are numerous features that can be added to your driveway security.
You can have a backup battery system installed in case an intruder ever gets smart and turns off your power.
There are also precaution measures that will help you when you come home and set the alarm yourself.
You can get waterproof transmitters and get everything tied right in to your personal computer.
The options are many and only you can decide which one is right for you and your family.
The important thing is that you have a security system that is sufficient in allowing you to identify an intruder.
You don't have to spend a million dollars to do this.
You don't want to have an alarm that is being constantly tripped by the children playing; this only adds stress and makes the whole ordeal worthless.
You have to take the time to figure out what will do the job, for less, and fit into your family's lifestyle.
Protecting your family and your house is a major responsibility.
I know that you will not take it lightly.
The peace of mind, that good driveway security systems give you, cannot be summed up in mere words.
