Home Security Systems by Sara Leadbetter
There’re a wide range of Home Security Systems available to today’s homeowner. From simple deterrents to noisy alarms, there is something for every need and almost every budget.
Before starting to secure your home, it’s worth considering the following:
1. Do you want the security to be obvious, or discreet?
2. How much do you want to spend?
3. What is the security for?
This last question is really the most important. Do you want a deterrent, to make it almost impossible to break in to your home or to catch people in the act?
Security alarms are usually the first method people think of. They can be activated by motion and/or heat sensors. Exterior alarms and sirens come in various add-ons ranges and tones. There are several factors to consider:
- How loud does it need to be?
- How long should the alarm go on for?
- How will it reset itself? (consider your neighbors if you’re away)
- What backup system is needed if the power is cut and how long will it last?
- Should the alarm be monitored by an external company who send out a guard if the alarm is activated?
- Can I have remote access to reset the system (e.g. view the house via webcam and control the alarm via cell phone?
When considering an alarm system, there are many home security gadgets that provide a variety of functions. Door alarms amount or hang directly on doors and sound an alarm if the door is jostled or is opened. Some are light and portable, made for people who travel. The same type of Home Security Alarms are available for windows and garage doors.
Cameras are popular Home Security Devices. Tiny spy cameras can be hidden almost anywhere in use to monitor home areas. Some record on VCR and playback on television. Others record on DVR or capture images on computer. The latest cameras require no setup. Homeowners simply plug in the end or insert batteries, and that the cameras in place. Images are digitally saved for playback later. Webcams are inexpensive cameras to use and images can be viewed remotely. Free software is available online for home owners wishing to add motion detection capabilities to their webcam security setup.
Dummy cameras are a simple and cheap Home Security Devices if you just want to deter opportunistic burglars. The best models look quite real but as the cost of introductory Home Security Equipment is fairly low, purchasing a fake camera may be a false economy.
Glass break detectors alert homeowners when glass breaks. They can be set up so that a sirens sounds to scare away would-be burglars. Detectors sound and alert if someone tries to force, smash, drill, or even saw through the protected area. Protected areas can include doors, windows, walls, and the roof.
Security lights are easy to use Home Security Devices. Motion detectors mounted outside the home activate whenever movement is detected in monitored areas. Infrared technology allows detectors to sense heat as well as motion. These can be set up to be ‘pet friendly’ so they’re not tripped by cats or small dogs while picking up on heat or motion generated by the human body. Motion detectors that restrict services to a defined area are also available.
The type of locks you use on your windows and doors can make a huge difference to how hard it is to break in to your home. Dead locks on door prevent a burglar from opening the doors from the inside without a key. Window locks reduce the likelihood of opportunistic theft through open windows. Don’t forget your garage door. Many modern garage door openers are effective locks in themselves as the garage door can only be opened with the garage door remote control.
Home security isn’t just restricted to intruders. Consider your own safety and that of your home itself. Detectors that sense the presence of smoke, heat, or carbon monoxide are frequently used Home Security Devices. Price, sound and sensor levels vary.
Man’s best friend is still considered by many people to be one of the best Home Security Devices. A dog in the yard can be a strong deterrent to would be intruders. Another simple preventative home security technique is to add ‘warning alarm/dog’ window decals and yard signs. Some yard signs contain solar lighting. They store energy during daytime hours via satellite and turn that energy into light after dark.
Home Security Systems come in all shapes and sizes. Some make noise, others capture images. Many are inexpensive and easy on the budget. In addition to becoming more affordable, Home Security Systems are becoming easier to use and cheaper. Just consider your needs, plan how you will use it and research the products needed to protect your home and family.

The Hidden $9.99 In southern Greece in 2004, a close-knit group of archaeologists searches for the buried traces of a formidable ancient power. A student running from a failed marriage and family, Ben Mercer is a latecomer to their ranks, drawn to the charisma of the group’s members—to the double-edged friendship of Jason, the unsettling beauty of Natsuko and Eleschen, and the menace of Max and Eberhard. But Ben is far too eager to join the excavation project, and there is more to the group’s dangerous games and dynamic than he understands. And there are things that should always remain hidden. A novel of astonishing grace and power from award-winning author Tobias Hill, The Hidden brilliantly explores the secrets we keep, the ties that bind us, and the true cost of fulfilling our desires. |

hidden $12.75 When Ahmed's parents send him to a residential treatment center known as Serenity Ridge, it's with one goal: to "fix" their son, at any cost. But eleven months of abuse and overmedication leave him desperate to escape. And when the opportunity comes, Ahmed runs away to San Francisco. There, he moves into a secret safe house shared by a group of teens. Until they become independent at eighteen, the housemates hide away from authorities, bound by rules that both protect and frustrate. Ahmed, now known as Ben, tries to adjust to a life lived in impossibly close quarters with people he barely knows, all of whom guard secrets of their own. But even if they succeed in keeping the world at bay, there's no hiding from each other or from themselves. And there's no avoiding the conflicts, crushes, loneliness, and desire that could shatter their fragile, complicated sanctuary at any moment. . . "This fresh and original novel defies easy labels.
