The only way to truly know if your home security is ready for a criminal is to be put it to the test. That's not exactly something most homeowners are willing to do though. Therefore, the best thing you can do is implement so many effective measures that it would be hard to imagine any criminal succeeding no matter how skillful they are. Only then could you feel that your home is ready for all the criminals lurking out there.
The first thing you need to do is tidy up your home. If a bank were to just leave money lying around, don't you think criminals would start hanging out there more often? It's the exactly the same thing with your home. If you just leave your electronics lying around in a messy way, any criminal that peeks through your window is going to think it's open season for burglary on your home. On the other hand, if you care enough about your belongings to put them away, they're liable to think that you could possibly have some home security surprises in store for them.
The second thing you're going to want to do is implement some inexpensive yet effective home security measures. Although separately these items may not seem all that significant, together they represent comprehensive protection. Start off by changing all the locks around your home. Old locks, just like any mechanical device, can get used and worn over time, making them less effective. New ones will not only look nicer, they may keep criminals out. You'll also want to install motion-activated flood lights around your home. They will prevent any criminals from prowling around at night. Criminals often like to scope out potential scores under cover of darkness, and if you take away that cover they'll most likely find another home to target. You might also want to place a guard dog in your backyard. Dog is man's best friend because they are such good home security additions. Once situated in your backyard, a guard dog will make sure no criminals enter your home through your backyard without hearing their bark or feeling their bite. Finally, you'll probably want to put a deadbolt on your front door. It's essentially a one-way lock that can only be opened from the inside of your home. A skillful criminal may be able to manipulate the best locks, but they won't be able to manipulate a deadbolt.
For the ultimate in home security protection, you should opt to have a home alarm system installed at your residence. Such a system is equipped with an array of effective anti-intrusion sensors that will make sure no unauthorized entries go unnoticed. Once a criminal is detected, the alarm will sound loudly, letting you and everyone in the neighborhood know that something is wrong. At the same time, the alarm company will dispatch local police to your residence. If a criminal doesn't take off running immediately upon hearing the alarm, they're liable to end up in a jail cell by the end of the day.
