Your house, as you know, is your fortress. True, in our case more often the apartment than the house. But still what needs to be done so that the walls of our fortress do not give a gap?
The answer is simple: Create several levels of protection that can delay potential robbers until the deployment of your "troops" to protect your fortress. If the crime rate is growing and the situation in the area becomes worse, then these recommendations for improving the safety of the apartment will help you sleep peacefully.
Lighting
Lighting is best scare away criminals. Only the most desperate robbers will penetrate the apartment in a well-lit yard and the entrance. Watch not only that blunt bulbs in the entrance and in the yard change in time, but also for lighting in the apartment. When you leave, let's say on vacation or just leave somewhere on the light, or wait at a special device with a timer that will create the visibility that someone is in the apartment.
Motion sensors
They can be placed both in the apartment and in the entrance. On the one hand, they save electricity, on the other hand, will be forced by the surprise of a potential hacker suddenly lit up.
Dogs
Dogs are one of the best means of protection for several thousand years. That's more dog, the better. These four-panel security systems, firstly, will love you, secondly, instinctively protect and, thirdly, their feelings are much sharpering ours, so they will report about the approaching danger much earlier than any alarm.
Bolt
It is necessary to close the door on the castle, but its effectiveness does not compare with the Casov (if, of course, you do not have the door to the door from the bank storage). It does not open it with the help of a brand, knife or plastic card, for it there is really a non-free hacker skills. In any case, the Casov will be able to delay inexperienced robbers, and experienced will not be able to hack him without noise, which will definitely hear your big dog.
Signaling
This can be a paid system that transmits a signal to the duty console, and after 10-15 minutes, CHOP employees come to you. However, the alarm can be easier - when you yourself hear the sound of the siren (which, we hope, will scare the uninvited guests) and take action. But still it is worth trusting a more professional device.
Security windows
If you live, let's say, on the 7th floor of a 16-storey building, you can skip this item. For the residents of the first and second floors (or those apartments whose windows are adjacent to the shared balcony) windows - a weak point, which is worth taking care of. Metal shutters or lattices - option, perhaps, for the most criminogenic areas. In other cases, it is possible to do with more neat-looking rolling shutters or at all motion sensors and hacking connected to the alarm.
Sound sources
Quarants, bells, bells and other sound sources can be attached to the inlet door from the inside to hear when someone opens it. This may be annoying during the weekends or holidays, when there are many guests, but all these ringing rattles can serve a good service in the middle of the night.
Get acquainted with neighbors
Where there is a formed community of residents, the probability of robbery decreases. Get acquainted with the neighbors on the site, and even better with those who are top and bottom, exchange phones, and you will receive an additional surveillance system, especially when you are not at home. The observation of single grandmothers and does not know the boundaries at all.
Do nothing
The easiest to fulfill the advice. No need to repair creaking boards on the floor or lubricate the door loops. If you know that the floor in the hallway creaks, then do not touch it, at night he can become a good source of information.
