There are a number of solutions to protect a home including
a Fake Camera
Experts indicate that a home burglary takes place every
fifteen seconds. This is a serious statistic in the US which show home owners are at
potential risk by just leaving the house or going on vacation. There are a
number of simple ways to protect a home. Some of the simple and obvious
remedies are to think protectively. An obvious one is to lock the doors, but
this includes sliding doors and the locks should be deadbolts. Most people do
this, but a homeowner needs to be aware of the environment as theft in many
cases is opportunistic, and an open door is a gift to a thief. Statistics show
that nearly 70% of burglaries are via a door. If doors are strong and bolted
then the risk is reduced.
Another simple and effective solution is a motion sensitive
device. This illuminates an area and prevents a thief from hiding or
approaching. Secondly, if a door is breached then it is recommended that a
homeowner should retain valuables in a fire proof safe bolted to the floor as
chain locks may not be secure enough. It is also recommended by experts to not
store valuables in the bedroom as that is where thieves initially look.
Thieves will not stay long in a home, so if a homeowner makes it
difficult for them then they will leave.
In high crime areas then it maybe best to install an alarm
system with internet monitoring.
If a person installs an active indoor and outdoor system
security then it will need be night vision capable. Nettohome recommended a
dummy camera with simple decals or alarm signs in the front yard and the back
of the house. These simple visible security indicators will go along way in
deterring theft on a homeowners hard earned belongings. People need to ensure the fake camera is of high quality that can work indoors and outdoors.
Nettohome's dummy camera is made of hard durable plastic
that looks like the real thing as the dummy is made from real cameras with the
camera device removed.
