Comparing Home Security Products
from:There are a vast number of home security products on the market, which makes it easy to find something that will work with your situation. Still, it’s important to know what your options are before you spend a lot of money. In the following paragraphs, we’ll take a look at some of the different home security products on the market so that you can make an informed decision.
Inexpensive Products to Secure Your Doors and Windows
You can purchase inexpensive window locks that cost just a couple of dollars each but will keep your windows from being raised. In addition, there are several types of door security products that you can purchase from a magnetic type alarm that will sound if your door is opened to a security bar that has a built in alarm in it. Speaking of doors, look closely at the doors in your home. As pretty as they are, doors with glass panels in them make it easy for intruders to break the glass and reach in and unlock your door. Mail slots in doors offer intruders another avenue with which to gain entry to your home. Look closely at the external doors in your home and ensure that they are strong and sturdy and have deadbolt locks installed in them. This goes also for the door leading from the garage to the inside of your home. Often, this door is left with a simple, flimsy lock because it is assumed the external garage door will keep intruders out. Even though you hope that to be true, a deadbolt lock on the door leading from your garage to the interior of your home is inexpensive and serves to offer additional protection.
Basic vs. Advanced Home Security Products
Some keypads that monitoring services use are specially designed so that you can let the authorities know you are in a hostage situation. The way this works is that if someone is in your home and demanding that you disarm the home security system, you will enter an alternate, preprogrammed code that will send a silent alarm to the monitoring service. This particular code will alert them to the fact that you are in a hostage situation and they will not call you; they will, however, promptly notify the authorities so that help will be on its way to you but the intruder will believe the system has been disarmed.
Another type of advanced home security system is designed to protect those who may be victims of domestic violence. In this situation, a silent alarm is pressed on a pendant or wristband, which will allow the monitoring service to listen in on your current situation without alerting the offender. Suppose you have left a dangerous home situation and the offending partner decides to break into your new home. You may not have time to call the police or otherwise react, however, by pushing just one button, everything that happens after that will be recorded and the police will be notified. In addition, you will also have the opportunity to provide offender information to the monitoring company so that is this particular alarm is pressed, they will be able to supply the police with the name and other pertinent information about the offender.
