Here's How To Maximize Your Home's Protection
With ADT® Home Security: Getting a Home Security System is an excellent way to deter burglars, since the average burglar looks for an easy target, not a home that has its entry points covered and motion detection on the level(s) that the burglar will move around in. The "Totally Wireless" Home Security system that we are offering gives you this protection by covering three entry points and providing motion detection as well. In order to maximize your protection against burglaries, we present the following information: The average thief has only two easy methods for entering your home: through doors and windows. Examine your entry points and see how well they would deter a burglar. Doors and windows can be fashionably secured with attractive, yet sturdy, handles and locks. Quality lock sets are a great way to add beauty and security. Your Home Security System includes three entry point sensors to install on the most vulnerable doors and windows of your home, and is easily expandable if it is determined that more sensors are required. Sliding Glass Doors - These doors are a favorite entry point for burglars. Many sliding glass doors can be simply lifted off their tracks. For maximum security, vertical bolts should be used. Another way to add security would be to place a metal or solid wood rod on the inside track to hold the door closed. These measures will help prevent burglars from forcing the door open or lifting it off the track, however, if the burglar does manage to dislodge the door, your Home Security System will detect this and alert the police. Garage Doors - These are also a frequent entry point for invaders. The connecting door between your garage and your home should be made of solid wood or solid-core construction. Secure it with a dead bolt lock. Don't rely on the electric garage door opener as your only security measure! Many experienced thieves are able to pry the garage door open enough to pull the string that hangs from the opener, or even discover the digital code that the opener responds to. Motion detection in the garage and a sensor on the connecting door will add maximum security to this vulnerable part of your home. Back Doors - A popular target because they often cannot be seen from the street and many homeowners do not think to lock the back door before they leave. It is important to keep your back door well lighted: motion sensing lights are a great deterrent and save money. Back doors should have solid core construction and should have a dead bolt lock as well. With three points of protection, the Home Security system that we are offering will cover your back door as a possible entry point. Ground Level Windows - You should use the same security measures on ground-level windows as you do on the doors, as they can become an attractive entry point for burglars as well. Window screens are no guarantee of security as they are easily bypassed, and burglar bars, while keeping burglars out, may also keep you and your family in. Make sure that all windows are locked and closed at night. The ground-level motion detector that is included in your Home Security system will sense an intruder coming through the window and alert you as well as the police. |
