It’s two in the morning and something wakes you from your slumber, a noise, or maybe just a feeling that something is amiss. You sit up, rubbing your eyes and looking around you. Suddenly, a man’s silhouette passes across your window, a shadow cast from the sidewalk street light! Someone is out there in your garden, a prowler! Are they just here to steal a few things or worse? You frantically dial the police and pray they get there before he gets in! These days you can’t be too careful, home security is no longer a luxury, it’s a necessity in any urban home! The bad guys are out there and they want in, so how are you going to stop them? Here are some things you can do to keep you and your family safe from intruders!
Security Fence – You won’t see an intruder in your garden if he can’t enter it! Set up some high-security PVC fencing to form a safety perimeter that will keep intruders out on the street. The fencing is extremely strong and comes in a variety of colours to match your home’s outdoor decor so it looks good while it keeps you and your family safe! You can also install an automated driveway gate that you open with a click so you don’t even need to get out of your car.
Security Lights – Prowlers do their skulking about in the dark, as soon as a bright light hits them they vanish back into the shadows from whence they came! Today’s powerful security lights are motion sensing, so when they feel an intruder they throw him under the spotlight, and are even programmed to swivel and track so they can follow him until he’s out of range! Everywhere he goes, another light switches on to catch him in the act. There’s nowhere to hide, so- exit stage run!
Security Cameras – Once the province of businesses and municipal buildings, security cameras have become more compact and affordable so any homeowner can put them to work keeping a watchful eye on their property. It’s recommended to have more than one, the first is placed in plain sight, but high enough to be out of reach of vandalization. The trick is you want the intruder to see it, more often than not its enough to act as a deterrent, “Smile, we see you!”. Then you have a few more to catch the shadowy corners they might try to run and hide in. Synch your cameras with your security lights and you will be safer than a prison yard, but it will be keeping the bad guys out instead of in!
Moat Full Of Crocodiles – A two-metre deep moat filled with crocodiles around your home will send a definite message to intruders that you mean business, and that they should stay out! Nobody wants to end up as croc food, and even the most hardened criminals will think twice about crossing those deadly waters!
OK, so we were just kidding about the crocodile moat, but it would be pretty cool, wouldn’t it? The main thing is to make sure you and your family are safe, and modern technology can help ensure that!
