I have talked a lot about how important it is to protect yourself during these tough economic times. Everyone knows when unemployment is this bad there are some people that get desperete and resort to things they had never thought of before. Protecting yourself from being a victim is more important than ever. But today I want to talk about keeping your home safe because there are many people out there that are looking to home invasion rather than mugging individuals.
There are many different ways to keep your home protected. These can be as simple as locking the doors and windows, all the way up to spending thousands of dolor’s on a high end security system. With the way the economy is right now I wouldn’t recommend getting a high end home security system unless you can truly afford it but I would recommend taking some extra steps beyond just making sure your windows and doors are locked. This is where some of our inexpensive burglar alarm set ups come in very handy.
The one I want to talk about today is our Strobe Wireless Security System. It is a fantastic alternative to the expensive professional security systems. With this package you will get several items for your homes protection. To start it off there is a passive infrared motion detector with a built in strobe. This motion detector can detect any motion within a 30 foot range. If something trips the alarm it will sound a VERY loud alarm and will begin to flash the strobe light.
Along with the motion detector it also comes with two glass break sensors that also double as magnetic window sensors. They are a very important part of keeping your home protected. The glass breaking sensor listens to the room and is able to detect if someone breaks a window in an attempt to gain entry into your home. The sensor also has a plug in magnetic detector that is made to sound the alarm is a window or sliding glass door is opened. This provides the multiple levels of security that is very important to make sure your home is as safe as possible.
The last piece that comes with the kit is an external siren with a strobe that is placed on the outside of your home. It is wirelessly connected to the other pieces of the system and if something trips the main alarms, whether it is the motion alarm, glass breaking, or window alarm, the main alarm in the house will sound along with this external siren and set off the strobe. This does a couple of great things. It will more than likely scare away the burglar because of the multiple alarms and strobe lights going off. Along with that it will also alert your neighbors that there is something going on at your home.
Finally to control the whole system it comes with two keychain remote controls to arm and disarm the system. If you accidently set off the alarm there is no need to fumble around trying to turn it off, all you have to do is push the button on the remote and it will turn off the alarm just like on your car. There is also a panic remote with a neck band. This is ideal for seniors. If you fall down and are unable to get back up you can push the button on the panic remote to set off the alarm alerting people that there is a problem over there.
Overall this is a highly effective and very inexpensive security system for your home. The overall cost of this is set up is by far cheaper (by close to 10x if not more) than any professional system that you will find. If you have a large house than you can get multiple packages and they will all work together. You could even have 3 of them in your home and have every little area protected and you would still be spending a very small percentage of what you would on one of the “high end” systems.
So if you are looking for a very reliable way to keep your home safe without having to spend a boat load of money than check out our Strobe wireless security system.
I’ll leave it at that for today. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.
Until next time,
Barry
