We are approaching the holiday season. During the holiday season, unoccupied homes filled with new or unopened gifts are inviting targets for thieves. A poll revealed that 60 percent of homeowners going away on vacation worry that their home will be broken into while they are away. There are several points to consider before leaving home for a week or two during the holiday season, or even for just an extended weekend. The first is to make a friend, neighbor or family member aware of your plans and have them visit the house several times during your vacation. They should remove newspapers, mail, or packages from sight and check the entire property. Unclaimed mail is a major indicator to many burglars that a family is away for the holidays.

Most home invasions are planned affairs. Criminals look for homes that have the right combination of elements.

The question every security system specialist in the industry is constantly faced with is whether a customer should opt to install a surveillance camera system or go with a monitored home security system. Of course the obvious answer would be that the consumer should see both as a priority and should choose to install both the burglar alarm as well as the CCTV camera system. In fact today Honeywell makes an module which interconnects your CCTV system to your burglar alarm system so that in the event of a burglar alarm activation, the CCTV system would immediately send you an email and images to any Blackberry type phone service. But in the real world we know that not everyone can afford to install both a camera system and a monitored home alarm. So it leaves the question of, if I have to choose one, which should I choose? It is definitely a difficult question because of how highly effective yet very different from each other these two systems are. So in order to make a more educated decision we will look at how each of these security choices can make a difference in providing the sense of security we each need.

Home security is an important factor for every new homebuyer, or prospective renter. One of the first things a person considers when selecting an apartment, aside from location and price range, is the level of safety they can assume in day to day living, and the security of any belongings they leave at home. Many tenants rights laws insist upon basic security measures like a peep hole, and a deadbolt lock as well as a keyed entry. Unfortunately, this is not always adequate.
