Start with gaining knowledge about the vulnerable areas of your home. The vulnerable areas are:
• Doors leading into and out of your home
• Windows, even ones on the second floor
• Garages
• Perimeter of your home
• Driveways
These are the most vulnerable areas of any home that need to be secured. Tips can help you learn how to do that without breaking the bank to make it happen. Good home security doesn”t have to be expensive. You just need to take things one step at a time until you have complete security.
Start with the outside and then do the inside of your home. For the outdoors you want to have motion detection lights, perimeter and driveway alarm, security cameras, cut back on shrubs and bushes that can hide a burglar and other important things. The inside needs to have good locks on the doors and windows, security alarm with cameras, door and window sensors, a dog for noise if possible and other things.
This may seem like a lot to have for securing your home and it may seem like it would be expensive. The one thing that you want to remember is that you can do this over time so you are not going broke protecting your family. Just do what you can as you can because this is the only way you will be able to protect your family from possible danger.
