It is not, as you would guess, the sort of wake-up call anyone would enjoy. Things turned out fine for me and, for that matter, for the burglar. He got away with a wallet he grabbed from the kitchen counter and I got away with life and limbs intact. I had a home alarm system but seldom turned it on back then. Heck, I often slept with only the screen closed on the French doors of our bedroom. After all, I live in a "good" neighborhood that could easily be the set for a remake of Leave it to Beaver.

Written by admin on July 26, 2009 – 7:16 pm -A home security system is now more affordable and easier to install than it has ever been in the past. Wireless technology has removed the need for wiring the various sensors to the control panel. Alerts can be sent to mobile phones by the system and they can even allow homeowners to see and hear what is going on inside their home. Improved sensors have also reduced the number of false alarms that plagued older systems. The main decision when choosing a home security system is whether to get a wireless system or one that is wired. A wireless system can be quickly installed and does not have any additional costs.

Buying the Right Home Security Alarm
Written by admin on July 11, 2009 – 3:00 pm -By Carly Kosiele So you've decided to go ahead and buy yourself a home security system. Excellent! But now what do you do? First, find the system that you would like. This may take a bit of time and research, but it's worth it to find a system that is just right for you. You may be tempted to buy an unauthorized system at first because they're cheaper, and appear to offer the same benefits. Be careful, however, because most of these systems do not guarantee future service and replacement. Those two things can end up costing you much more than you would have spent if you'd bought a system from an authorized dealer in the beginning.

Keeping your home secure
Written by admin on June 29, 2009 – 6:54 pm -The lazy days of summer aren't so lazy for thieves. There are more homes broken into during summer than any other season, according to the National Crime Prevention Council. But Consumer Reports says some key moves that don't cost a lot can really beef up your home's security. Consumer Reports says forgetting to lock the inside door and leaving valuables in plain sight make your home more of a target. And there's more to guard against. Many burglars kick in a door to break in. Consumer Reports says the door itself isn't usually the weak spot. The problem is that the lock strikes are held by ¾-inch screws. They aren't long enough to go into the main beam of the building. So when you kick in the door, it just breaks away the wood. You can strengthen... more
