Will you be the next to be burgled?

by | Jul 9, 2013 | Security Systems and Services

If you were to accidently lock yourself out of your house, could you find a way to get in? Is there perhaps a window that has been left unsecured or a door that has not been latched properly? If the answer is yes, then you have a potential problem with housebreaking because if you can get in, so can a burglar.  Security systems in Bakersfield CA are more than high tech electronics, a good security system also means using a lot of common sense.

If you have never been burgled, perhaps you are thinking that protection is not necessary and that you can continue to take chances that you will not be next. You can think this way and risk it, or you can prevent the loss of your valuables and jeopardizing your safety by installing a security system. Even if you are on a limited budget there are security systems in Bakersfield CA that will provide protection and if your DIY skills are limited, there are wireless systems available that can be installed by anyone. An alarm system consists of little more than a control panel, an alarm of some sort, either a bell or siren and sensors which can be window shock sensors, motion detectors and magnetic door sensors.

An audible alarm is good but it is of little value if no one actions it. If you are home that is one thing, you can immediately alerts the police to the situation; if you are away you are in the hands of a Good Samaritan to raise the alarm, usually the closest neighbor. If this isn’t good enough for you, your security system can be connected to a monitoring station that provides round the clock monitoring, if they are made aware of a breach in your security, they immediately contact the police. Monitored services can also be integrated with fire and a panic button.

A motion detector can be installed in such a fashion that it turns on outdoor lights if movement is detected. An intruder will give second thought to making an attempt at entry if he thinks he will be spotted. Even if you do not install a sensor operated light, don’t leave the house at night without leaving a couple of lights on.
