Hello World! Welcome Friends! Whether you are a homeowner or renter, the safety and security of your property and loved ones should be at the very forefront of your mind. Security threats are ever evolving, and they’re not just physical threats now, they’re also cyber attacks, which means all of our smart home appliances and smart things that work via the Internet could go off at any time.
Taking proactive measures to protect your home is a must, and you should be embracing better home security if you know that there are good trends that you can follow. There are more than affordable DIY solutions out there to advanced homes, to smart systems that can also work. With the right strategies, you’ll enhance your Peace of Mind and make your home feel like more of a fortress against intruders. Let’s take a look at how you can embrace better home security with these tips below.
1. Enhance Your Lighting
It’s so important that you have motion activated lighting and using outdoor landscape lighting can be a great way to light up your exterior. You might not think of lighting as a great security option, but if you think about the fact that lighting is well known as a deterrent for burglars, then it’s worth installing better lighting outside. Nobody wants to be seen when they’re trying to break into a house, and if you already have cameras outside, then good lighting can help to light that person’s face up on your cameras.
2. Upgrade Your Locks
You don’t necessarily have to go to smart locks if you don’t want to. Keyless entry looks like a great idea until you see a cyber attack on Microsoft and think that it’s probably not best to rely on smart security. There are still the old fashioned options like deadbolt locks that offer a higher level of security than a standard spring bolt lock. There are also high security locks that are designed to resist drilling and picking.
3. Reinforce Any of Your Doors and Windows
You can install strike plates and metal frames so that doors and windows can’t be kicked in immediately. Strike plates are metal plates that attach to the door frame that the lock bolt extends into, so nobody can actually kick the door in unless they have the strength of a horse. You can also add security films and screens so that your windows are no longer a vulnerable point in your home security system.
4. Secure the Garage
You can get better locking mechanisms for your garage doors so that you’re not overlooking it as an entry point to your home. Garage doors are often a weaker link in your home security, especially if they’re not properly secured. Making sure that you use a robust locking mechanism is an absolute must when it comes to protecting your home.
Security isn’t a joke, and it shouldn’t be treated as such. Try these tips above and see whether or not you can make sure that your home is protected at all times.
