We used to be
able to go out and not
worry about locking our doors, but in reality those days are behind us.
A good deadbolt, window locks and patio door enforcements are a good
start, but is that enough? The technology and
price of
alarm
systems and
security
cameras have dropped to the point
where they're very affordable and one should consider one or both as a
way to protect your home or business. Alarm
systems are an excellent
deterrent and provide a great deal of peace of mind, knowing that your
place is safe while you're home and away, whether they're self
monitored or professionally monitored. A mix of
imitation
security cameras and working
security
cameras will add a visual deterrent and also serve to provide
evidence in case of a crime. Both systems are also a great way to know
who's been around and to check in on the family when you're not around.
Our next few newsletters will look at self monitored and
professionally monitored alarm systems and video security systems.
In
the mean time, feel free to contact us if you'd like to
discuss what
would be appropriate to your situation and lifestyle. You
might also

How
To Lock Out Crime' prepared jointly by the RCMP
and Canada Mortage and Housing Corp.
