Getting Your Home Safe With North Carolina Home Security Cameras
When your home is burglarized you suffer emotional and psychological damage, as much as you suffer financial hardship. There are some simple steps you can take on your own to prevent a burglary. More sophisticated measures such as installing alarms, deadbolt locks, and other devises may need the help of a professional to be installed properly. Fortunately, there are a number of well qualified North Carolina home security alarm professionals you can call upon to help you secure your home.
Burglars do not pick their victims in a random fashion. They will not select a home to burglarize that presents too many risks or will be too difficult to break into. They are looking for homes that are unoccupied, provide good cover to avoid being seen, and have doors or windows that are weakly secured. You want the burglar to take a look at your home and decide it is too much trouble and too big of a risk to rob so they will move onto an easier victim.
The most vulnerable entrances into your home are garage doors and back doors. In addition, these ports of entry provide the most cover. Always keep your car door locked even when it is parked in your garage. Do not leave valuables lying on your car seats or in view. All entrance points should have a solid core or metal door, with a heavy-duty deadbolt lock with a one-inch throw bolt.
The most common way to open a locked door is to kick it open. Use a high security strike plate that takes four screws and install it with 3-inch wood screws. This alone will make a burglar move on to an easier victim. Patio doors can be problematic. Use a secondary blocking device on sliding glass doors. The latch mechanism and rollers used on sliding glass doors should be well maintained and properly adjusted. Install through-the-door pins or upper track screws. Burglars do not like seeing decals for alarms services, neighborhood watch, or beware of dog warnings. Display those decals.
Burglars love open windows. Windows, particularly first floor windows, should never be left open or unlocked. Install secondary blocking devices on even upper floor windows if they can be accessed by climbing a tree or balcony. Install a blocking device that won't allow windows to be opened more than six inches. A North Carolina home security alarm system tip is to check to make sure doors cannot be opened by reaching through a window.
Neighborhood organization is an excellent anti-crime tool. Get to know your neighbors. Arrange to have everyone look out for each other. When someone is on vacation pick up their mail, mow their lawns, and park cars in their driveway. Never let your home have the appearance of being unoccupied. Have a neighbor keep a copy of your house key. Never hide your house key outside. Criminals already know that little trick.
Have the exterior of your house well lighted with infra-red motion sensor lights in the rear. Entryways and pathways should be well lighted. Criminals hate light because they do not want to be seen. Use timers to create the illusion that your home is occupied when you are away. Have the timers turn lights on and off in logical patterns. Timers can be used to turn on TV sets too.
The first rule of preventing home burglary is simply making your home an unattractive target. There are a lot of steps that you can do on your own. Locks, alarms and other devices must be installed properly in order for them to do the job they were designed to do. If you lack the do-it-yourself expertise, then there are many excellent North Carolina home security monitoring companies who can help you. Find a Charlotte security expert today.
