]]> Home Security – How to Prevent Intruder

The Importance of Locking Doors

A home alarm system can certainly alert you and the local authorities that an intruder is attempting to break into your home. This same alarm will hopefully scare off the intruder; never to return. However, there are a handful of other measures to take to prevent intruders regardless of whether you have a home alarm system installed or not. It seems obvious, but it can’t hurt to re-state the importance of locking your doors when you leave your home or go to bed at night. Even if you live in what you would consider a “safe area”, you just never know.

Avoiding Common Mistakes

Avoid keeping spare keys under mats, on top of door frames, in planters, or your mailbox. These are the first places an intruder might look. Find a more secure hiding spot or better yet give it to a neighbor to hang on to for you.

Tips to Prevent Access Through Ladders

Store in a shed or garage ladders or outdoor furniture that can be used to access top-floor windows. Intruders know that often second-floor windows are left unlocked and if it is easy to get up to them, they will. Keep the shrubbery and trees along the foundation of your home cut short and thin. Make it so not one bush can be used to hide a person easily. Organize a neighborhood watch program in your community. These programs can make a significant impact on reducing crime and fear in your area. Before heading on an extended trip, there are steps to take to secure your home and its belongings while you are gone. The key is to make your home look as if it is occupied and give away no clues to the fact you have been away and might be for a while.

Important Factors

  • Be careful not to advertise that you will be out of town. Many people post on social networking sites their every move. Updating your status with “leaving for vacation now” is just the invitation a thief wants.
  • Ask neighbors or relatives to watch your house while you are gone. See if your local police department will also keep an eye on your home.
  • Stop mail and newspaper delivery or have a neighbor take it in every day. Have that same neighbor bring in any packages that may arrive when you are gone. Leaving a delivery outside of your garage for days is a dead giveaway that nobody is home.
  • Arrange to have your lawn mowed or snow shoveled if needed.
  • Install a handful of self-timers on lamps to turn on at dusk and off at bedtime. Make sure to stagger the times the lamps go on and off.
  • All the lights going on at the same time is obvious to anybody watching your home. Also, install timers on televisions or radios to turn on and off at different times each day.
  • Turn the ringer down on your telephone if it can be heard from the outside.
  • Have a neighbor, relative, or friend change the positions of your window treatments each day. Preferably mimic the pattern you regularly make when you are home; open during the day, closed at night.

Once you have implemented these tricks, you may want to consider installing a wireless home security alarm system. Many of these systems are DIY projects that you can complete in a weekend.

]]> Protecting your family and home from potential invasion and other disasters, you might think that you just need to call your local Charlotte, NC Security System Dealer and order an install.  The problem is, that not all systems are made equal, and not all systems fit your home and circumstances equally.  To ensure that you protect your home and family and that you get the right system for your home, consider the following tips:

Layout of Your Home

The reality is, that this is one of the most basic, most important, and most often messed-up portions of deciding on not only which sensors on a security system to use, but also, what system to use overall.  Consider a few of the following  factors:

  1. Are you in the building stage of a new home or do you have an unfinished basement and easy-access attic?  You may be fine using a hard-wired system, which could potentially give you less hassle with battery changes, etc over the years (although you need to watch for exposed wiring and other faults of hard-wired systems.
  2. Do you have many hard-to-access areas in your home or location that really may need a wireless system?  Are any of those far enough away from the primary panel and wireless unit that you need to consider a wireless repeater or relay?
  3. Do you have an area with many large glass windows or doors, do you have windows that may be fairly easy to open, or would they most likely be broken?
  4. Do you have windows that are accessible from the ground or that are below ground without safety-release, locked window covers?
  5. Do you have areas that may not be covered by your “primary” sensors,  but that may have a vulnerable access point?
  6. Do you have an uninhabited basement or accessible attic

Lifestyle

Again, this is usually a factor that is overlooked or ignored when selecting and setting up a system.  When you think about your lifestyle and how you and your family live, you may discover some keys to successfully setting up your new system.  Here are a few questions to ask about your lifestyle:

  1. Are you mostly home, or are you often away?  Some sensors are more difficult to use with people at home.
  2. Do you have people up in the night, and walking through the house, or are family members usually within their rooms or attached bathrooms?  If people walk through the home at night (to the bathroom for example), what areas will be walked through?
  3. Are there individuals that come home after other family members are in bed?
  4. Do you want to be able to keep any teens from sneaking out (this is more popular than you may think)
  5. Do you want to be able to activate from various locations throughout the house, or only from a central panel?
  6. Do you enter the home through the garage or another entry?

Pets

Animals can easily set off a security system that is set up incorrectly.  I have seen many systems installed by professionals that are configured incorrectly, that have continual problems from pets.  A few tips here:

  1. Use the highest-rated “pet-immune” motion sensors when you use them.  Keep in mind an “80-pound motion” probably means you need to be very cautious with your 60 Pound English Bulldog
  2. Do you have a very MEOW-Y cat?  Their shrill meows can set up a glass break sensor sometimes (these are getting better in the last couple of years, but you need to be cautious of which type you get).
  3. Try to set your system to be fail-proof, rather than “probably ok”

Monitoring Needs

Keep in mind that monitoring for a security or fire alert system is a huge part of what you want this for.  If you had everything you needed to protect everyone at all times (we know you are Rambo, Dad), then you wouldn’t get a system at all.  The reality is, that you are gone, asleep, or (heaven forbid) injured, and that is why this system is valuable to you.  In addition, more and more cities and areas have regulations about how loud your siren can be, so sometimes you could have an alarm sounding, and a neighbor down the street may not realize, or may not know which home it is.  Better safe than sorry.

When you are looking for monitoring, the cheapest is not necessarily the best.  You want 24/7/365 monitoring, by a certified and trained monitoring center.

Did you know that you can test your monitoring center?  Yep, set it off while you are in the home.  Keep in mind, that they will ask you for your code, so be prepared.  Also, you can usually test it after the installing technician sets it up and does his test.

Fire Coverage

Don’t forget that your home is susceptible to fire.  Many homeowners believe that since their fire alarms are wired together to go off at the same time, somehow those are being monitored…. well, they aren’t   But, you can add some monitored fire and smoke sensors to your security system with relatively little cost, and usually no additional monitoring fees.  This is a no-brainer if you ask me. Keep in mind that many factors help to make a great system.

]]> The package came with a big bunch of sensors including 25 door/window sensors, 5 motion detectors, 1 glass break sensor, and 1 smoke detector, enough to cover the footprint of a big house.  Three sirens/horns are included (one outdoors for your neighbors to hear and two indoors for yourself).   The indoor sirens are so loud it will scare the hell out of any burglar, even if he is half deaf. So if you have animals at home, either train them to get used to it or keep them away when testing or activating the sirens. The outside siren is much softer but still audible to the neighbors without irritating them; a good and sensible feature.

Versatile Security System

The system supports up to 99 zones for an unlimited number of sensors per zone. The coverage is extensive and the signal strength can reach the garage and a detached office, if you have one. The AAS-V700 Wireless Home Security System dials up to 6 phone numbers, so you can program it to call your and your spouse’s cell or work phones, a friend and neighbor’s phones, or an alarm monitoring service. Entry and exit delays and siren time can be programmed from 0 to 30 seconds. These programmed delays can be disabled by using the key fobs that come with the system. This is a useful function for inhibiting the alarm every time you come back to your home. You can also access the system remotely by using the phone feature to arm, disarm, or simply monitor your home, giving you peace of mind.

The Pros

  • Wireless, so there is no need to drill holes, lift carpets, and run wires all over the house.
  • Easy to install, operate and maintain. This saves a lot of time and effort, crucial for people who are too busy or simply too lazy to go through the hassle.
  • You can DIY and it’s almost idiot-proof. No need to pay hundreds of dollars for a professional alarm company to do this for you.
  • Low cost and great value for money. No recurring yearly service or monitoring fees.

The Cons

  • Since it is wireless you need to change the batteries periodically to ensure the system functions at the optimum level. I would strongly suggest replacing the standard batteries with the best heavy-duty batteries.
  • The double-sided tapes for the window/door sensors are not adhesive enough. I would suggest wiping and cleaning the area before sticking the tape. Using Velcro is another alternative.
  • No Alarm Security sign sticker was provided, though this can be purchased easily from a hardware store. A survey of criminals has indicated that nine out of ten would not bother burglarizing a home if they saw it was equipped with an alarm system.

Does the AAS-V700 Wireless Home Security System come with a Warranty?

Yes, it carries a two-year warranty on the Keypad/Control Panel and a one-year warranty on all components. It also comes with free lifetime technical support seven days a week by phone and email.

Where Can I Get the Best Price?

Invariably Amazon has the best prices and you can often find a bargain.

What about customer service?

AAS customer service is prompt, efficient, professional, and friendly.

Why you should install a home security system?

  • One out of every five homes will have a burglary or fire
  • Nine out of ten convicted burglars said they would avoid a house with an alarm system or home video surveillance system.
  • A home video security system makes your home three times less likely to be burglarized.
  • Homes protected by a security system are more acceptable by insurance companies and can get discounts for the home insurance premium.
  • You can monitor your home environment, your child, aged parents, and pets while you are working even on holidays. This gives you less stress and peace of mind, something money cannot buy.

Summary

The AAS-V700 Home Security Alarm System is a full-featured wireless security system that combines the most popular security features in a convenient and economical package. This system offers all the basic requirements plus bells & whistles to effectively protect your home from burglars. If you need the best home surveillance system to keep yourself, your property, and your family safe, then this system is a great choice.

]]> How Your Home Security System Pays For Itself

Installing a home security system is a no-brainer for several reasons.  First, it’s one of the most effective ways to help bolster the safety of the people and things you love.  Second, it’s a smart investment that pays for itself in the long run.

Want some hard facts? Every 13 seconds, burglars break into a home in the U.S., according to the FBI.  More than 2 million burglaries are reported every year.  The average losses experienced by victims of home burglary total more than $2,000.  Compare that figure with the price of installing a home security system in your home and preventing the hassle in the first place, and the investment is already starting to prove its value.  Here’s another number you should know: Homes protected by some kind of security system are as much as 300% less likely to become targets for crime.

But there are even more numbers to consider:

A house fire breaks out in the U.S. every 85 seconds, and the Insurance Information Institute estimates the average cost per claim to be more than $30,000.  In some states, that number reaches $90,000 or more.  Many home security systems include an option to install smoke and heat detectors.  That can help address fires quickly, which could help prevent costly property damage claims such as these and help save the lives of the people you love.

Another safety feature of many home security systems is flood detection.  Water damage and damage caused by freezing pipes cost U.S. homeowners almost $7,000 in claims every year.  You can help prevent overwhelming expenses such as these in your home by installing flood and freeze sensors with your home security system.

So for a few dollars a month, it’s easy to see how a home security system pays for itself by helping to reduce your chances of throwing thousands of dollars down the drain for damage that could easily have been prevented.  Plus, you’ll also likely shave a couple of bucks off your home insurance premium by installing these safety devices.

Rewards for Homeowners

Most top providers offer big rewards for homeowners who have invested in home security and other smart safety precautions.  Here are just a few examples of discounts you could qualify for just by installing a system in your home:

  • Up to 5% for fire and smoke detectors if your devices are fully functional and in compliance with your provider’s requirements. Fire extinguishers could also help you qualify for even more savings.
  • Up to 10% for alarm systems if you’ve got a functioning local or monitored security system.
  • Up to 20% for having a 10-year claims-free streak and a clean claims history.

The bottom line: If you haven’t invested in home security, you’re vulnerable to a long list of perils that could wipe out your bank account.  Compare the long-term costs of installing these smart lines of defense against paying devastating repair costs for property damage you could have prevented – it’s easy to see how a home security system by ADT is a smart investment that pays for itself.

]]> So maybe you haven’t gotten around to installing a home security system yet, mostly because of the price.  Of course, home security systems featured here on NK Home Security are certainly worth the investment. Still, there are other, less expensive ways to protect your home, or further enhance home security even if you’ve already bought a system.

Here are a few simple, cost-effective ideas:

  1. Please get to know your neighbors so they can be on the lookout when you’re out of town.

These days, it’s become more rare to get to know your neighbors.  You must make the effort to form a cohesive community.  Most people DO want to know their neighbors, but no one takes the first step.  As such, why don’t you take that step?  When you know your neighbors, not only will they be able to keep an eye out on your home while you are away, but a stronger sense of community naturally creates a stronger sense of safety.  Better yet, get together and form a neighborhood watch program.

  1. Especially while you’re away, cover windows appropriately.

Burglars don’t just rob any old home they see.  They very meticulously evaluate their targets, based on the likelihood of finding valuable items and the likelihood of getting away with it.  The first step most burglars take is to look through windows surreptitiously to 1) check if you’re home, and 2) see if you own anything they may want.  By covering windows with blinds or curtains, even when you’re home, you tempt burglars less.

  1. Be aware of your landscaping.

There are two aspects of home landscaping that you may want to be wary of.  One, burglars take notice of everything, including how pristinely your lawn may be manicured.  If you have a very ornate front yard with decorative flowers, fountains, etc., this is a signal to a burglar that you likely have money.  Of course, this isn’t to say that you should make your yard ugly on purpose; just don’t overdo it.  Another thing you should be aware of when landscaping your yard is to make sure trees and bushes are trimmed well so that a potential thief won’t be able to climb anything to get through a window.

  1. Install deadbolts in all your doors.

The number one method of entry for most burglars is simply kicking the door in.  No matter what material you use to build a door, you’ll still be vulnerable to break-ins.  Installing deadbolts on all doors is probably the easiest and most cost-effective way to secure your doors and prevent break-ins.  If a thief cannot break the door open with one blow, he usually leaves so as not to draw attention to himself by making too much noise.

I highly recommend getting a home security system.  But if you don’t have the time or money to set one up, the above tips will greatly increase your home security.

]]> You’re a road warrior. You eat, live, think, and breathe business. You’re on the road nonstop, fighting to come out on top, make the best deal, and be the best in your field. But what about what you’re leaving behind—your home? Frequent travelers have to leave their homes in the rearview mirror, but that doesn’t mean they have to leave them undefended. Check out the following simple tips to keep your home safe when you can’t be there.

Install a Security System

Look for one that offers different plans and special features that meet your needs, like Life Shield. Many modern systems offer extra flexibility by including monitoring apps for mobile phones and tablets, so road warriors can defend their realm even if they’re in hotel rooms or meetings.

Call the Police

You don’t have to wait until there’s been a crime. Be proactive. Call your local PD and let them know when you’re going to be away. They’ll keep an eye on your place and, when shady people see cops cruising your neighborhood, they’ll decamp to look for easier pickings.

Don’t Blab

Resist the urge to tell anyone about your trip unless they need to know. That includes social media. Even if shared innocently, information spreads fast and might get to the wrong person. Wait until you return to upload pictures or update friends on your trip.

Put On a Show

Make your home look like you’re living there. Put your newspaper subscription on hold, stop the mail, set up a timer for your lights, and leave your curtains and blinds the way you usually do. Oh, and that spare key you keep under the mat? Take it with you or give it to a trusted friend or neighbor.

Turn Down Your Thermostat

Sometimes, Mother Nature threatens your home more than any crook ever could. You’ll want to leave the thermostat on so it doesn’t get so cold that the pipes freeze, but there’s no need to heat an unoccupied dwelling, either. Turn it down, but not past 55 degrees, according to Rismedia.com. While you’re at it, turn down the temp on your water heater.

Keep Up Appearances

If your lawn is normally mowed, hire someone to keep it trimmed while you’re gone. Ditto if you’re in a snowy area—you don’t want snow and ice piling up and being a dead giveaway to your absence. Ask a trusted neighbor or friend to keep an eye on your house, especially after a storm, and have them call you if there’s any damage.

Lock Your Garage

Just do it, even if there aren’t any doors or windows that serve as access points.

Unplug

Walk through your house and disconnect all the electronics you won’t be using, like coffee makers, microwaves, personal computers, and television sets. Leaving them on is an expensive drain on power. Turning them off reduces the risk of a fire.

Secure Your Valuables

Put them in a closet or somewhere safe. Whatever you do, don’t leave them in plain view of any windows, according to State Farm. Be sure all doors and windows are locked, and if you have a basement door, lock the deadbolt.
