Default Protecting Your Home:

Protecting Your Home:
Locks, Lights and Good Neighbors
One of the crimes most frequently reported to the police is residential burglary. It's also the most preventable. It doesn't take much or cost much to out-smart most burglars. They're usually not professionals, but rather people taking advantage of an easy target. Burglars may do more than steal things. If they're surprised by someone coming home or if they choose a home that's occupied, someone may get hurt.

Tips on Safeguarding Your Home
  • Make sure all exterior doors have good locks-at least dead-bolt locks with a 1" throw.
  • Always lock up when you go out, even if only for a few minutes.
  • Secure sliding glass doors with bars or locks,or put a broom handle in the door track.
  • Make sure your windows have good locks, especially those at ground level.
  • Make sure all porches, entrances, and outside areas are well lit.
  • Trim any bushes or trees that hide doors or windows.
  • Maintain your yard and keep ladders and tools inside when you're not using them.
  • Don't hide your keys under the doormat or in a flowerpot. That's the first place burglars look! It's much better to give an extra key to a trusted neighbor.
  • Mark your valuable property like TVs, VCRs, computers, cameras and stereos with your driver's license number.
  • Keep a record of your property in a safe place.
  • Install an alarm system for summoning emergency help.
  • If you park your car outside, never leave a garage door opener in the car.


When you go away
  • Ask a neighbor to collect your mail and newspapers, and offer to return the favor.
  • Put an automatic timer on at least two lights and a radio. Consider photoelectric sensors to turn outside lights on and off automatically.
  • Tell a trusted neighbor when you're leaving and when you'll return. Include an itinerary and phone numbers where you can be reached in an emergency.


Neighbors Helping Neighbors
There's more to crime prevention than locks and lighting. The fact is, concerned neighbors who watch out for each other are the front-line defenses against crime.
  • Get to know your neighbors and discuss your concerns about the neighborhood.
  • Be alert to things that invite crime like poor street lighting, boarded-up buildings, a lack of recreational activities or jobs for teens, vacant lots littered with debris and inadequate day-care and after-school programs. Work with law enforcement, civic groups, schools, churches and service clubs to solve the problems.
  • Alert law enforcement to suspicious activities and any crimes.
  • Report nonworking street lights, abandoned houses and other problems.
  • Join a Neighborhood Watch group. If there's no Watch organization in your neighborhood, start one with help from local law enforcement and community groups.

Have you looked around or payed attention to how easy you could set up a perimeter security system for your house

it's ridiculously expensive to pay $5,000.00 for that set-up for your house......

But hey.......I drive a Jeep

Well let me know how that works out after you get robbed and can't seem to find any recordings.

and seriously........"protecting the family".........

give me a ****ing break......all a camera is going to do is CATCH THE PERSON IN THE ACT......or SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE ACT.......

GUN, BIG MEAN ASS DOG, GUN, and common sense.....

other then that, if someone wants to be a menace to society it is really out of your hands.......Criminals are not smart and a home security monitoring system isn't going to stop them from doing what they plan on doing...IMHO........

GUN, BIG MEAN ASS DOGZZZZ, GUN, GUN, Common Sense..........

I would hope that someone would be smart enough to be recording to a "smaller" backup PC tucked away nicely......

No need to send the images to your main home PC. All you need is a networked HDD somewhere in the house..... ........You gonna take the time to search for that?.......only if I dont have a big ass dog eh?

Wrong. If you catch the criminal on a camera, and have video that you can actually make out (as opposed to the kiddie webcams you listed) the police will have a better chance getting that person off the street, which helps you and your family sleep better at night.

Also, with motion detection you can be alerted to a possible threat, view it, then take the proper actions before someone gains entry into your house. And then come the guns!
