Home security FAQs
I would like to get a security camera for my front
gate. Will a wired or wireless camera be easier for that location?
A security camera at a front gate is a great idea, and you could use
a wired or a wireless camera in that spot. To find the one that will
work better for you consider a few things. First, where are you going
to be feeding the video to? How far away is it from the camera? It may
be a pain to run wires, and wireless may be an easier option.
I just bought a new home and there are locks on all of the
windows. Do I need to replace them?
That depends on a few factors. If your window locks have never been
replaced, you may want to consider updating them to a more secure lock.
Keep in mind that window locks were created to keep the weather and
the elements out and warm air in. They were not created to keep intruders
from entering your home.
I would like to get a fire alarm for my home. What is my best
bet?
A fire alarm is a much needed feature in any home. Your best bet for
an alarm is a smoke detector, or a series of smoke detectors. The amount
you need depends on the size of your home. If you would like to go beyond
a smoke detector for fire protection, consider an alarm system that
includes fire, flood, and theft alerts.
