1) Videotape and make a
list of all the contents of your home. Keep the video and the list of all
valuables in a safe place, such as a safe deposit box, in case of burglary you
may need to identify your property and show proof of ownership.
2) Install solid doors and
good quality locks on doors and windows. This includes sliding glass doors as
well. Make it not only difficult but also time consuming for burglar to gain
entry. 70%of break-ins are through one of the doors or windows.
3) Install iron grill and
gate in your house (Do not use aluminum as this material is nice but not as
strong as iron).
4) Install and invest in a
good quality security system and periodically change all security codes for your
system, make a point to test the system weekly and used them even when you are
in.

are turn on in the night and invest in a CCTV system to capture the surrounding

HOLIDAY

holiday for a period of time its wise to install a timer on some lightings so
that they can be switched on automatically at a certain preset time.

all structures or trees that are facing the windows and ventilation opening to
prevent the burglar from entering the premises with the help of these.

To buy or lease?
What is buy or lease
security system?
When you buy a security
system, the system belongs to you which you can decide where and how you want
the system to be configured even the equipment installation can be decided by
you. However if you lease the systems, normally the system remains the property
of the security system company. Furthermore normally they have the final say on
where the equipment will be installed and the coverage area. Any other coverage
you request you might have to pay more, you will even have to continuously pay a
management or monitoring fee for your lease system for an extended period of
time. In the long run it may be more costly than a one time purchase.
Do you own
or lease your security system?
Some companies lease their
systems instead of selling them. When looking for a security company to take
care of your security needs make sure you purchase the system and not lease it.
If the system is purchased by you, you can have the option to decide
what type of system you need and if you are not happy with their after-sales
service you can change to other company to service you..
Type of system you
purchase.
Make sure the system that you
buy or lease can be reprogrammed by another company. A lot of the larger
companies lease or sell systems that can only be programmed by themselves and no
one else. Thus forcing you to use their services even if they are bad.
How much should you invest in a security system?
A basic security system for home
or office costs about $ 800.00 to $1,500. However if security is your main
concern we recommended that you purchase a system which will suit your needs now
and in the future rather than on the cost alone as the deciding factors.
Big company is not
always the best.
Smaller and medium size
companies generally give you better and more personalize service. Furthermore
their charges may be much lower. However in choosing a small company to look
into your security needs, make sure that you know their company reasonably well,
look at their setup and portfolio. Always remember that to a big company, you
are just another small customer to them. However to a small company you
are a very valuable customer to them .
