What is enough and what is too much when talking about home security? We all have the need to protect our loved ones, our properties, ourselves.
It's a natural impulse.
But like all the other impulses, sometimes enough is enough.
You managed to have a house of your own.
You fill it with furniture, you get all the electronic devices, you acquire some art pieces just to make it nice.
It's time to get the best protection to safeguard your belongings and family.
You get yourself a tall fence, a big dog, good locks for the doors and windows, and now what? Is a security camera system too much for a normal residence? The obvious answer would be: Of course not! Getting two, three, even five cameras to safeguard your weak spots of the house is something smart to do.
A 24/7/365 connection to a security firm would be even smarter.
An alarm system to be armed during the night would be great.
Using all of the above and losing some hours to teach everybody how to use all of the necessary tools, how to contact the authorities and how to arm and disarm the alarms would make your home security system extremely useful.
You make a plan, contact a local security systems store and ask for all of the above.
They offer you this deal: For just 5 $ more you will get 20 cameras and a hand print lock for the front door.
Thinking it's just 5$ more the natural impulse would be to buy, right? But what for? Where would you place 20 cameras? Don't get more security cameras then you actually need.
Too many security cameras will distract you when trying to view the recordings, you will make too many holes in your walls and you won't be more protected.
It's the first reason for refusing the deal.
The second one comes when thinking of a hand print lock entrance door.
If you know you don't have a large amount of money in your home, why make everything much more complicated? Just think of what trouble you'll have to go through when the soft gets damaged and you and your fingerprints can't get into your house.
Also think about it: The first thing a criminal does in the movies when facing such a door is to cut the finger that opens it.
I wouldn't want that to be honest.
If you do have big amounts of money at home, think about using a bank.
Don't forget that banks, with all of their security systems and still get robbed, what makes you think you can shield your house better than a bank? Now for more home security gadgets you don't need: How about hidden rooms and passages? Everyone wants one of those but lets face it, they are expensive.
Or how about motion detectors connected to the alarm system? Then whenever a neighbour comes close to your house the alarm starts to annoy you.
Motion detectors connected to the exterior lights are usable and recommended though.
How about a trench surrounding the house? If your house is not a castle then don't.
You don't need to live on an island to be protected.
Using moderate home security systems could ensure the best protection you would need at the best price you could find.
