Hardly a night goes by when you don’t see a story on TV about a home burglary or home invasion. The FBI reports that there over 2 million home burglaries reported annually. There are probably more that go undocumented. The fact of the matter is that home burglary is one of the few areas of crime that is on a steady increase. Homeowners don’t do too much to stand in the way either.
Home security and home burglary prevention is a huge business with over $60 billion a year in sales. The biggest parts of that industry are home security systems that are sold to homeowners with or without monitoring. They are an effective way to improve your home security albeit expensive. There are less expensive ways to protect your home with security devices that include alarms, fake security cameras and diversion safes to hide items of value. Here we will review some of the more popular security devices for your home for burglary prevention.
Everyone knows about security cameras. Burglars, especially, are wary of them. They act as an effective deterrent to burglars attempting a theft. Many a burglar has been caught on video courtesy of a home security camera. But they can be expensive. Fake security cameras offer a viable alternative to the more costly real thing. They are so realistic looking that no one, especially a burglar, can tell the difference from the real deal.
A good example of this is a realistic looking fake security camera that has a blinking 24 hour red LED light. This battery operated fake camera has a motorized pan movement that adjusts to almost any angle. It can be installed in minutes with no wiring needed.
Just about anyone in the home security field from police officers to security experts and even burglars will tell you of the effectiveness of having a dog in your house. A barking dog is perhaps the most effective deterrent for burglary prevention. Unfortunately, not everybody is comfortable having a dog in the house because of all the commitments, financially and otherwise, that are involved not to mention allergies.
Technology comes into play here with one of the most effective home burglar alarms available. It uses radar sense technology to detect movement up to 15 or 20 feet away in a protected area of a 100 degree arc. Once movement is detected, the sound of a barking dog begins-loud enough to scare away any burglar.
Home security devices such as fake security cameras and home burglar alarms can vastly improve your home’s security and are a giant step towards burglary prevention.
The Barking Dog Alarm is one of the most effective home security alarms available.
This Fake Security Camera can pan right and left and has a 24/7 red LED blinking light just like the models costing hundreds of dollars more.
