Alarm systems and tips on home security

The alarm systems and home security are two issues of great sensitivity. Therefore, in this article we show a series of tips to enhance the security of our home and be better protected. 

Below, we detail a series of tips with which to protect our home.

- Lock the door. Even if we only go out to buy bread, thieves can take advantage of small absences to enter the home.

- Have an armored door with a minimum pair of closing points and without gaps or openings that allow entry through a lever.

- Protection to prevent windows from opening easily. Either with closures that prevent easy opening, with bars that act as a stop on windows that slide horizontally or with nails that do the same function on sash windows. Even the blinds will be an element of protection against different types of thieves .

- Do not open the door to strangers and change the bowler hat if other people have had the keys to the house.

- Have a well-lit perimeter, as well as all access to the house.

- House alarms are, along with bars, surveillance cameras and armored doors, the best security systems for our homes. It should be noted that current alarm systems are immune to power outages, frequency inhibitors, and tampers.

What are the areas that require the most security and what is the best way to protect them?

When it comes to the security of our home, you have to think about complete security. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out good security planning to know what we want to protect, what is more exposed and the most appropriate security measures.

All this will depend, to a large extent, on our habits, the infrastructure of our home or its content.

Personal security
The most important thing we want to protect is our family. For this, it is necessary to create an environment without fear and totally safe. The most important risk groups in a home are the elderly, children or people who need special care.

Assets and infrastructure
Here it is necessary to value the supply facilities , the structural elements, the accesses and, on the other hand, the valuables or goods.

We need to take these aspects into account, as well as our lifestyle and habits, before implementing our security system.

What are the best home security measures during our absence?
The best safety tips for us to protect our home during the holidays are as follows:

Presence simulators and timers for home or television lights will help us make thieves believe that the house is inhabited.

Avoid knowing that we are on vacation
If we are absent, thieves will be willing to enter our house. We must be discreet and not tell the neighbors or publish our holidays on social networks.

Have multi-risk home insurance
Installing the most effective security measures is not only what we must do. Although the first step is to become aware of the importance of taking security measures to prevent robberies or assaults on the home, it is also important to take security measures after a robbery.

That is why it is important to have home insurance that can cover losses or damages in a possible theft.  

Keep documentation and valuables in a safe place.
Thieves often search for jewelry and cash, but are also interested in technology and documentation. Therefore, both should be kept in a safe place.

In short, there are multiple ways to guarantee security at home, but we remind you that alarm systems are usually the most important.
