Once you have bought your new home, there is a lot to organise. As crime rates rise, it is becoming more and more important to make sure you have a security system set up in your home. Here, we give you some ideas on how to make sure your home is safe in the face of intruders.

Technology

There is so much technology available now that has been designed to make your home a safer place to be. As well as the typical alarm system, security lights are a great way to scare off intruders. If the lights sense movement, they will flood your yard with light which will not only illuminate whoever it is that’s trying to break in but will also scare them away as they’ll know their cover is blown. You can go a step further by installing security cameras too. If you're looking for a wireless option, Vivint home security system is your best bet with high-quality smart home technology and features like motion detection and night vision. These have the great benefit of supplying evidence of your intruders if the police intend to charge them, and opportunists look out for the tell-tale red light which signals a security camera. If they see it, it is likely that they will retreat.

Thanks to the new digital era, you can even link your security systems to your mobile phone in order to receive live updates of any threats. For example, you could receive a video link from your security cameras which shows you who is approaching your home. Lastly, a video doorbell can be a simple yet effective way of being able to check who is at your door before you decide whether or not to allow them in.

Fixtures and Fittings

Various physical security devices can be purchased and fitted in your home, to give you ultimate peace of mind when it comes to the safety of you and your family. First of all, there are a range of different locks available but we would recommend Yale locks as they do not rely on you remembering to lock your doors behind you. It is also important to make sure your windows and doors are constructed from a strong material. Spy holes are another great way to see who is at the door before you decide whether or not to let them in, or for a cheaper alternative you could try a simple chain lock.

Weapons

If your home is in a gun-friendly state, it is a good idea to have one of your own on hand in the case of aggressive intruders. If you don’t feel comfortable with a gun, you could always opt for something like Airsoft Guns instead.

Home security should be paramount on your list of priorities once you’ve bought your new home. Research the kinds of technology you could invest in to secure your home for example, an alarm system or security lights which detect the movement of intruders. You could also install security cameras and video doorbells so that you have a record of them. There are more simple devices which are also necessary such as good quality locks, windows and doors. If you live in a gun-friendly state, take a look at purchasing a gun yourself even if it is just to use as a deterrent.
