Burglary Prevention

Security Products CANNOT be guaranteed for burglary prevention - but the following home security systems and home video surveillance monitors will likely perform well if used with the guidance in Home Security - Overview.

I love these devices and criminals hate them. These simple yet very effective security products can be used separately because they're not linked together as a unified "alarm system" (with a central control panel). However, they can be either substitutes for - or supplements to - a unified Alarm System. Whatever you choose, you should also reinforce your Doors, Windows, and Garage so you'll have overlapping layers of security products.

OUTDOOR SECURITY LIGHTING

The above floodlights should shine on all doors and vulnerable windows (hopefully within view of neighbor's homes or passersby) and must stay on throughout the night. To floodlight your home automatically from dusk to dawn whether you're at home or away, connect them to the following security products:

• Outdoor motion detector floodlights from Smarthome.com can be set to go on (automatically after dusk) when motion is detected and off after an adjustable time interval. Options include:
A. Send motion activated signals to 4 other devices (floodlights, alarms, etc).
B. Send dusk activated signals to 4 other devices (floodlights, etc).
C. Turn on lights all over your home when motion is detected in one area.
D. Use with a chime module as an automatic "doorbell."

These security products automatically help protect your home whether you’re at home or away. Install the motion detector floodlights over walkways, parking spots, and other dark areas to reveal and scare off prowlers. They hate all outdoor security lights - especially sudden lighting that implies you have even more burglary prevention security products. Make it obvious that your house is the toughest target in your neighborhood - burglars will likely move on to easier targets.

• Outdoor solar-powered floodlights from Smarthome.com light up your home automatically from dusk to dawn whether you're at home or away - with free solar power.

MOTION DETECTORS

• Indoor motion detector lights are useful for hallways, stairs and so on – to reveal an intruder or to illuminate your late-night jaunts to the bathroom or refrigerator. See Smarthome.com.

• Outdoor motion detectors have indoor audio alarms that sound like a doorbell. False alarms from a wandering cat or wind-blown leaves aren’t usually much of a nuisance. See Smarthome.com.

SECURITY CAMERAS FOR HOME

When a woman suspected that workers remodeling her home were stealing, she began using a tiny video camera disguised as a pager. That's how police say she nabbed her electrician taking money and prescription drugs.

• Spy camera (disguised as a teddy bear) - see Smarthome.com. Watch your baby or see a predator without being seen.

• Wall-plate camera sees an entire room - or outside your entry door - but they can't see you. See Smarthome.com.

• Night-Vision Cameras see without light (in full color).

• Surveillance cameras from Smarthome.com are mounted in-or-outdoors either conspicuously (as a deterrent) or hidden within a hollowed-out book. ... You can add a motion-sensitive digital recorder to monitor a babysitter, repairman, or intruder and record only the action. ... Also, signals can be sent to a TV in your home or over the Internet so you can secretly watch your home while you’re anywhere in the world.

• Dummy Security Cameras are very inexpensive. Cover your vital outdoor areas (doors, windows, etc.) with real home security cameras, and also prominently install dummy security cameras. The more, the better. Multiple cameras imply that your house is too tough of a target.

• Automatic timers for lights, TVs, and radios give a burglar the impression that someone is at home while you’re away. The versatile Smarthome.com model turns on/off as many as eight things - throughout your home - at your chosen times. ... You can also sleep soundly while several lights in distant rooms turn on/off to give the impression that you're awake and aware.
