I have always found thieves to be very amusing and crafty human beings. When you think hard about it you will not take long to realize the truth. The reason security systems continue to advance to the level they are on now is that thieves get smarter. That is the raw truth that you cannot escape from no matter how hard you try to run. And, well, the good news is that there are a lot of really good systems on the market today that work wonders.
All security measures are created with one thing in mind, to catch the intruder. Based on this, security companies used all their knowledge in designing mechanisms that can help fight the increasing number of breaking and entering. Out of the wide array of mechanisms the password is perhaps the best. If you use passwords to protect your doors and windows this can be done with resounding success.
If a robber does not have the password required to enter the premises he will simply move on to the next house in the neighborhood. The only obvious drawback is the way geniuses that know how to hack into computer systems break the secret codes. In addition to this if at all you are careless your password might fall into the wrong hands. Such systems are also expensive and beyond the reach of many.
The next category is Closed Circuit Television (CCTV). CCTV makes use of hidden video cameras to keep track of the movement of people in and around the home. They are so effective because of the reason they are easy to hide. So whilst an unmasked thief searches through your home his face will be recorded.
So who cares if the intruder got away with almost half your furniture? Using footage recorded what you just need to do is print copies of her face and then distribute them everywhere you think the thief will be hiding. Sadly enough CCTV costs an arm mouth and an ear.
Alarms are well known for the way in which they scare off a thief in seconds. When the alarm rings you will immediately wake up and respond to the danger. Such an alarm is usually placed on the gate, doors and windows. The moment an impostor attempts at forced the alarm will go off there and then.
For families that prefer the robber to be far from the house electric fences prevent a lot of intrusion. The efficient way a harmless, but shocking, electric shock surprises a thief he will be totally scared of even trying again. The only problem is that thieves are getting smarter and they have discovered how to get over these.
