Security Atlanta GA - Here's the Information
Shopping
for home security can be frustrating and time consuming. If you don’t know what
you are looking for, or what security features you need, then you will over
spend and still not have the best security.
Our goal
here at Home Security Atlanta GA is to help you understand what you need and
where to find it. We have been where you
are and made some bad decisions. So use our experience and see if we can help
you.
Light It Up
The old
saying goes “Don’t go down a dark alley alone”. There is good reasoning with
that saying. Criminals like to operate in the dark. And the darker the better.
So our
first piece of advice to you, the homeowner, is light up the place. Unless you
have excellent street lighting, we recommend adding some outdoor lighting.
The best
solution that Home Security Atlanta GA can offer would be to have enough flood
lamps that cover the whole house. At a minimum, try having a flood lamp
lighting up each doorway and window on the house. You want these entry points
to stand out.
And to save on your energy bills and to not keep yourself and the neighbors up all night, have these lamps run off of motion detectors. Most motion detectors have the ability to be adjusted to ignore small animals like cats and dogs or rabbits.
Offer a Sturdy Front
Burglars
are known for watching houses on a block and seeing if any are empty during the
day. Then they will come back and break-in when they feel that the time is
right to strike.
Their
number one way of entering a home is by kicking in a door. One guy will walk up
and give the door a swift kick and if that didn’t work, then another. After
about three or four kicks without any success, he will move on.
So a
homeowner needs to have doors that will resist this onslaught. It needs to be a
good sturdy door and a solid door jam. Then, besides the typical door lock, you
need to have a good dead bolt lock.
The combination of a sturdy door, good door lock, a strong dead bolt, and a solid door jam should send the crook away. All of us at Home Security Atlanta GA hopes he breaks his foot on this door.
Alarms and Cameras
The next
two items are of equal value in our eyes, but we understand if your budget only
allows you installing one.
Besides a
well lit house, the next thing a burglar hates to see is cameras. He doesn’t
like having his picture taken.
A few well
placed cameras might just be enough to scare him off. Try to have cameras that
will show and record any movement around the entry points. Home Security Atlanta GA believes a picture of
the bad guy is priceless.
And have
the cameras placed where he will not be able to get them without a lot of
trouble. But have them where they are
visible. You hope the sight of cameras tells him to go somewhere else.
Burglar
alarms are the last line of defense. If the bad guys break through the above
restraints, then we are going to give them one more blast.
With
detectors on all the doors and windows, anytime there is an attempted entry,
you want to give them a loud welcome. Let the whole world know they just tried
to get in.
Get Quotes - Home Security Atlanta GA Suggests 3 or 4 Quotes
Everything
we have mentioned above can be obtained, installed and even monitored by a
local or national security company. Just check online and you will find many of
both.
Check how
long they have been in business and they should also have some reviews to
read. Try to narrow your choices down to
3 or 4.
And now
that you have a better idea what you need, make a wish list for your security
system, and get quotes from your short list of security companies.
They will come and want to see your house, and that’s expected. Just let them know you are getting 3 or 4 quotes and then you will make your decision.
DIY Installation
We also want to let you know that every item listed above can be purchased at a security store, either locally or online. And you can be the installer, and save tons of money.
Wireless security devices have made self installation a thing of ease. Not having to run wiring thru your inside walls has been a big plus for those who feel al little handy.
