Various Components of a Home Security System

-


No matter where you live now the world is a very different place then
it used to be just a couple of decades go. All types of crime are on
the increase and this particularly holds true for property crimes such
as residential burglaries. One new type of residential crime that is
new on the scene is the home invasion robbery where the criminals
actually enter the home while the residents are home. Law enforcement
can still be relied on to provide basic services but far too often they
arrive on the scene after the crime has been committed. This means that more than ever before people are taking matters into their own hands and taking the proactive measure of having a home security system installed in their residence. The technology that is incorporated in a modern home security system is truly astounding now and so much more is available to choose from when deciding just what is adequate for your home. Of course every system has a control ppanel and a key board that is used to actually program the total security system and also a system should have a siren that is mounted somewhere on the home or in the attic. There are now quite a few choices of mechanisms for turning the alarm system on and off when you come and go from the residence or during the night. Now a convenient key chain clicker, similar to the device that people use for their car alarms can be bused on a homes alarm system in just the same way in that a simple click turns it on and off. New on the scene is voice recognition technology that allows you to give your alarm system commands with the spoken word and it provides total security in that it will only respond to the owners voice or anyone else that it programmed into it. While home and business security systems still use trip mechanisms that will signal the system if a door or window in a building is opened, now there is other state of the art technology to back these systems up. New, ultra-sensitive body heat and motion detectors that are easily concealed on the inside and outside of the building, signal the system if anyone comes within thirty-five feet of them and they operate outside in any type of weather conditions.  They are so accuratlky calibrated that they can differentiate between dogs and cats, so there is never a false alarm.Home security systems also now come with fire detection capabilities as well, that use another type of heat detector to signal the system if they are activated. The system will not only wake up everyone in the home but it will also simultaneously call the fire department as well. Carbon monoxide detectors are also part of a modern home security system as well and  can save your life if your gas heater malfunctions and begins to emit this poisonous gas into your home.

Self Defense For The Elderly

Self Defense For The Elderly As disturbing as it might be to the rest of us, criminals actively seek out victims who are less capable of defending themselves in an attack. Unfortunately this leaves our elderly, physically challenged and youth more vulnerable to an attack. There are ways for these members of society to protect themselves and increase the odds in their favor should they face a perpetrator intent on committing a bad act. As more and more people realize the need for personal safety devices and other forms of self defense, the likelihood of surviving an attack increases. Here we will look at a few self defense methods for the elderly which add a level of security for our elderly friends and family members. * Self defense classes- Seniors like every other age group can benefit from self defense classes. Each person is different but as a general rule we all lose strength and agility as we age. Consider classes that are specifically designed with seniors in mind as self def...

Facts on Home Security Systems

-
One thing is for sure and that is that the crime rate isn’t going to drop and in fact it is projected to only get worse. One type of crime that has truly been on the increase is property crimes and one new type of property crime to make its debut is the home invasion robbery. Prisons are overcrowded and police departments are overwhelmed, so in more and more communities it is up to each and every home owner to take measures to protect their home, family and property. Fortunately something that has also been increasing steadily along with the crime rate is the level of technology in home security systems. What started out as a simple system of window and door trip triggers that were connected to an alarm has grown into elaborate security systems that can cover your whole home in an invisible blanket of security that is monitored twenty-four hours a day. In fact home security has moved out of the home and into the yard with a thirty-five foot perimeter of protection that is monitored by ...

Why Consider a Home Security System

-
If you read the paper or watch the news now, then you are probably aware that crime patterns are changing and have been for some time. It seems that there is just no escaping it anymore and that places like small towns are no longer safe refuges from crime. Crimes such as home burglaries are on the increase and even new types of crimes such as home invasion robberies are making their appearance. You may not be aware of it but even organized gang activity has come to small town America and if you live in a small town or suburb of a city you most likely have gangs in your community now. The fact is that no matter how many police officers a department may have they can’t be everywhere at once and there really is nothing that your local police can do to thwart a determined burglar.They have to wait until they strike and then hopefully use any clues that they leave to track him or her down and thats just the way it goes. When all of the facts are laid out on the table they all point in one ...
