Safes: Prevent Theft By Breaking Into Your Own House

by admin

“There is no security on earth,” Douglas McArthur once wrote. “There is only opportunity.” His words ring true. What for you is a rickety French window is a burglar’s window of opportunity. What you see as a lovely, albeit a little fragile, antique door is a would-be robber’s golden gate to riches. Go to Safes for more information.

So, how do you protect yourself from wrongdoing and wrongdoers? How do you keep burglars off your door? The answer is simple: become a burglar yourself! Try to break into your own house. You know it better than anyone, and if a burglar could find a window of opportunity in your home, then there’s no reason why you could not do the same.

Turning Criminal Breaking into your own home is what is known as a house audit. You go over the present structure, review its strength, and then probe for weaknesses. The good thing about doing this is that you know where to station home security camera systems. Additionally, your home audit can help you determine which home security camera systems to use.

Doorway to Danger Start at your door. Take a good long look and poke at your door. Then, ask yourself these questions:

1. What level of protection does it have?

2. Is it of solid construction? – A good door should have three hinges. It shouldn’t have glass.

3. Can you embed a deadlock on it? – Deadlocks will help your door resist attempts of forced entry through kicking. Basic deadlocks have five levers while heavy-duty deadlocks have seven.

4. Is it isolated from the nearest neighbor? – A door that is not visible from a neighbor’s window sends out an invitation to burglars. You can increase door security through home security camera systems, in the form of an outdoor wireless security camera. This should be positioned in such a way your front and back doors are visible. Refer to Safes Canada for more information.

Window-wise After thinking like a criminal, make plans like a cop. You’ve already mentally broken into your own home. It’s time to consider how to keep others from doing the same. Consider the type of security you want. Would a home security camera system make you feel better? If so, what is it you need – indoor surveillance or outdoor wireless security cameras? When considering a home security camera system, go for the ones that are the most unobtrusive. Pick wireless security cameras. There are cheap wireless security cameras that transmit to a unit which, in turn, connects to a regular TV set. There are also costlier wireless security cameras that come with their own monitors.

Burglars Caught On Camera Hitting Same Home Twice

17.09.09

PALM BAY -- Home security cameras have captured two suspects burglarizing the same home twice.

Palm Bay police praised the homeowner’s actions, and said they love that he had security cameras.

While police said the cameras greatly help in gathering evidence, having one in your home can be expensive.

Homeowner Chris Moffatt said the system cost him $1,000.

The two suspects did not get away with anything from Moffatt’s home, but they were caught on camera twice trying to break into the house.

After the alarm went off and scared the burglars away Monday, they tried again Tuesday.

Moffatt said he is upset, but glad he had his security camera running at the time.

“A little frightening that someone could get in and out of the house that fast,” Moffatt said.

Moffatt said he can check on his home online using the cameras.

Police said they gathered evidence at the scene, and hope the pictures from the camera will help them make an arrest.
