The way that different home owners throughout the country and across the world tackle the issue of home security varies considerably, and it is not possible to say that one strategy is necessarily and always better than all the others.
In fact, the best approach to security at home is the most comprehensive and layered approach, meaning that the more strategies used the better.
Some strategies focus strictly on hi-tech electronics equipment whereas other strategies focus on more basic yet very important personal tasks and chores or general household habits.
It is important for people to be aware that there is a tremendous richness and diversity of home security strategies that can be applied to wonderful effect, and here we would like to present some of the more recognizable and recommendable such strategies.
Home owners will continue to have their own preferences, but those that really care about the security of their possessions and the safety of their family will do their best to implement as many complementary security strategies as possible among those discussed below-so read on and see what your security plan at home is missing! To start, we might as well focus on the hi-tech methods that exist seeing as they obviously attract a lot of attention and are known to be quite effective.
Today's technology lovers generally know (or at least ought to know) that a home alarm system has got to be set up with wireless capabilities as opposed to in a hardwire environment-an absolute must by now.
Yet that's only the beginning of the hi-tech focus; a much more novel and revolutionary security solution at home is home automation, which essentially represents bringing every appliance in the home online through a secure home network.
Home automation offers truly outstanding security benefits in the form of the ability to manipulate all appliances, including the security system itself and all its components, through a single interface and even from a remote location.
Other hi-tech strategies focus on increasing outdoor lighting, using video recording technologies (in many cases with a live web feed), and having state of the art safes installed inside the home in inconspicuous places.
Others rely on very different strategies to achieve the levels of home security they desire, and one of the most ancient strategies is to have a trained guard dog at home.
Certain breeds of dog are fitter than others (at the genetic level) to serve as guards, so it's important to choose wisely when opting for this strategy.
Proper training is crucial as well, and in most properties it will be more effective to have the dog kept outside where it can roam the property than locked up inside where its ability to scare off intruders will be severely limited.
Finally, some people rely on community strategies for achieving home security, something that is incredibly effective though incredibly underused throughout the country.
The effectiveness of community patrols at deterring and detecting crime has been proven in survey after survey, and hopefully this is one strategy that will begin to flourish.
