Home Invasion Prevention with Surveillance Cameras
It seems as though home invasion, or as some are now calling it home robbery is gaining in popularity throughout the country. Part of the reason is homeowners make it so easy. Most home invasions happen with the bad guys coming in thru the front door. How hard is that?
Another reason is the growing threat of drugs and gangs. There is a lot of evidence that shows drugs as a major causal factor for home invasions.
Finally many former targets are “toughening” up and beefing up security. I am talking about convenience stores and liquor stores particularly who have undercover agents in place and a wide array of surveillance gear to thwart the bad guys. So what is a bad guy to do? How about robbing homes?
Home invasion is basically a burglary committed when the homeowners are present. It is a dangerous crime because it places all home occupants at risk for far more serious a crime than just burglary.
It is generally done by two or more bad guys under cover of night who are usually armed. They frequently go right thru the front door which is often opened by unthinking homeowners.
One way to prevent a home invasion is to get a surveillance system. The four channel USB DVR has 4 cameras that can be used indoors or outdoors. Hook one up to watch the front door. The capability of the system hooked up thru the internet will allow you to see who is there on your computer monitor.
Another idea is a home security system that has motion and door sensors. The door sensor can be operational while you are at home. Both of these ideas will go a long way to prevent home invasion and keeping you and your family safe.
Colorado Springs has gotten so bad that several local police stations are giving classes on home security specifically designed to thwart home invasion.
If you think crime can only happen to the other guy you are wrong. The “other guy” is thinking the same thing and to him you are that “other guy”. There is a reason why they call it self defense. You have to protect yourself, your family, your home and business!!
Chances are if you are reading this that crime has touched your life in some way or you consider yourself at risk. Take the next step and do something to protect yourself! Your life and safety is worth far more than the cost of home security device.
