Ways to keep intruders away

There are many things you can do to keep intruders away from your home. If your house and property is well secure then it is less likely it would be broken into. One thing you can do is put up no trespassing signs depending where your house is located. This will warn people not to be on your property. Another more expensive way is to put up a fence around your house or put a gate at your driveway. A fence is a good way to keep intruders away from your house. A gate is good to keep anyone from driving to your house.

One way to scare away intruders is to put up fake video cameras. You could put up a fake video camera at your front door and it would make anyone think that they are being watched. You would want it placed where it would be easily seen. You could also have another camera somewhere in your driveway. Probably one of the best ways to scare intruders away is an dog.

Protecting Your Home



The basics. A house is one of the big investments people make so it makes sense to protect that investment. There are many things you can do to make your house more secure. The most basic thing is to keep your doors and windows locked when you are gone. You should make sure you do not have any windows or doors that could be forced open even if they are locked due to bad window latches or door locks. The front door should have a deadbolt lock to make it more secure. Fences and gates are a good deterrent because they help keep intruders away from your house.

A home security system. Having a home security system is one of the best ways to protect your home. It will monitor your home 24/7 and alert the police if their is a break in. A home security system has sensors at doors and windows that go off if their is a break in. It depends on the system how sophisticated it is.

Having a safe. A safe is a good place to store valuables, money, and important documents. A safe is good to have to protect valuables from being stolen. It will also protect them in case of a fire. It is important that you hide your safe somewhere that it will not be easily found. If you have very expensive valuable you want to protect you could get a more sophisticated safe. There are safes that can be bolted into walls or sunk into floors to prevent them from being removed in a burglary.
