My house got recently broken into.They took my new flat screen tv and my ps3, I was upset to say the least lol. So it made me want to have some sort of security system in place.
How My house was broken into:
I came home and noticed my fron door was open.I thought i left my door unlocked and the wind blew it open. Then i noticed that the glass on my door was broken. I have a really dumb door with a major security flaw.It is a big wooden door with about 12 small glass panes in the door itself with 4 on each side running vertically.They broke one of the panes near the lock and stuck there hand in and unlocked the door.
I live with my mom and she is the house owner.She dosent feel to atiment or too serious about makeing the house more secure.I say this because she dosent want to fix the main flaw of our security here at the house which would be the big door withabout 12 acess points to break to gain acess to the lock.
My house is set up as to where I have an inside porch.So that means you walk down the block,go up my 10 foot sidewalk to enter my indoor front porch which is fully visible to the street. My Porch door is also a wooddoor with a big pane of glass which has this very sturdy lock.I think this would of maybe prevented it because i doubt there going to break a big peice of glass in full view of the street and other people house. But they came onto the indoor porch because the front front door was unlocked then they came to the big wood door with all those glass panes,broke a pain closest to the lock and walked upstiars and took my ps3 and flastscreeen and i assume drove off.
So this is why im asking my question which is should i go through a company like ADT,Broadview,simplx a company that offers that type of service where the house is monitored at there central location then alert you and the proper emergency service if they detect a problem or should i just build my own system and try and make the house more secure.
1. Should i go with one of those companies? the only benifit is that if i dont secure my doors properly and im not home and the neighbors dont hear it and call that i know the police will be there.
2. What products can i buy to make my house more secure?
3.For my wooden front door what can i do to make that secure? i heard of deadbolts where you need a key to lock/unlock on both sides,are those real? I want that so if they do break the glass they still cant get in.
4.Are cameras really that benificial? They only really help when in plain view,which i think isint that good to begin with cept detur. Or that there only good when your stuff is already gone which i think is to late.Where can i buy cameras that only motion activated?
4.Are there any good websites that are about home security that offeer cheap good products? how about any forums for prevention and security product reviews
5.What kind of locks are there and what benifits do they provide?Are there any chain locks which you can unlock from the outside?
6.should i buy a new door handle with a lock and maybe some sort of other lock like a deadbolt for my bedroom door? I ask this because i dont have anything else worth stealing except for my room and worse comes tow orse they break in but i want something to stop or slow them down alot if they actually get in.
7.Where can i buy glass laminate so i can make all the glass entry points in my house unbreakable. I think its called security film and its a laminate that makes it bullet proof or shatter proof so they cant just break the glass and unlock the door..I searched ebay,is there any other sites that offer this type of product?
8.What can i do to make my front porch door more secure? Im goin to start locking this door more often since its out in the open and i think that will detur most. Maybe put security fil over it just incase. Same with my back door and my front wooden door. What can i do to make those more secure?
9.What decides how good a lock is? is it the width or depth of the lock/deadbolt?
Answer
I don't think there is any worse feeling than being violated by someone breaking into your home. You can a million things to your house and if they want to get in, they probably will. The key is to make it so they don't want to take a chance getting in. I have had ADT and Broad-view Security alarms and also the do it yourself kind.
Personally I like the bigger companies and currently have Broad-view for my home. Get door and window alarms as well as motion sensors for your home. But believe it or not the best deterrent is for a yard sign both in front and back of the home advising that you have an alarm system installed.
Get a good lock for your bedroom door and keep a cell phone in the room with you. That way if the alarms goes off you will still be able to contact the police before they can enter your room. That should help you to get a good nights sleep.
There are do it yourself sites that offer some good systems, the best one I found is www.X10.com. I had these at one time but found a few too many false alarms. The monitoring with the big companies isn't cheep, about 33 to 36 bucks a month, but you can put a price on piece of mind. When you leave in the AM and put that alarm on you can be pretty sure that when you get home you will find your home just the way you found it. Also, ask your neighbors to keep an eye on the house for strangers hanging around. Hope this helps.

There are many stores that sell these. Best Buy, Sears, and Walmart just to name a few. I suggest looking up the items under the stores web sites to read reviews to get the best product.
