5 Tips to Improve Home Security
Today, a house is not only a place to shelter from rain and wind. More than that, a house is a place to rest, store valuables, and protect yourself from the outside world’s crimes. Therefore, security while inside the house is something that must be considered. Here are some ways you can improve home security.
Sufficient Lighting
A house with dead lights is often assumed to be empty or abandoned for a long time. Likewise, a house with an area that is poorly lit or has poor lighting quality becomes a target for criminals, making it difficult for them to be seen by either people inside or outside the house.
To improve security, use lights that are sufficient and can cover the entire area of the house. If you are someone who travels frequently, there are now many technology options, such as lights or switches that can be controlled remotely and make your home safer when you are away.
High-Quality Doors and Windows
Doors and windows are the places that are most often broken into by criminals. This makes homeowners have to choose quality doors and windows starting from the material, hinges and screws to the quality of the lock. You can also add extra security with smart key technology with a PIN or fingerprint. For windows, you can replace the glass material with tempered glass or laminated glass, which is more difficult to break.
Safe for Valuables
Anticipate the worst if your house is successfully broken into by providing a safe for valuables such as jewelry and valuable documents. Choose a safe that is fireproof, waterproof, and heavy enough so that the safe is not easily transported by criminals.
Maintaining Information Confidentiality
Everything will be in vain if you cannot maintain the confidentiality of your personal data, especially in the digital realm. For example, the location of the key or secret password. Also, avoid using your date of birth for your PIN.
Alarm and CCTV
Improving security can be started by adding CCTV and an alarm system. This helps you monitor the condition of your house and even becomes evidence and a tracker for criminals if a crime occurs around the house. Investing in good quality CCTV will make you feel safer.
Not only individual homes, but some developers even provide security systems such as 24-hour CCTV on the streets. This can help monitor suspicious movements and prevent crime around the housing area. One of the housing complexes that provides 24-hour CCTV facilities is YUKARI Sawangan. Coupled with a one gateway system and security surveillance, you don’t need to worry about home security in the YUKARI Sawangan area.
