Your sign is only as good as the home defense that backs it up
It’s important to note that your home security sign in Orange County is most effective when it’s backed up by a well-designed, smart system. Modern systems are accessible no matter where you are and can send you immediate alerts through a handy smartphone security app. You’ll also be able to view video feeds and communicate with those at your front door directly through your mobile device.
Here are a few components you should consider installing:
- Video doorbells and outdoor cameras with built-in deterrents: It’s correct that the mere presence of surveillance cameras might be enough to prevent crime, but components with proactive prevention are even better. Select options with visual and audible deterrents. There are even video doorbells that give you the added perks of 2-way audio and customizable zones to avoid false alarms.
- Smart lighting: Most trespassers won’t try to enter if they think you’re on site. You are able to set smart lights on a timetable and have them come on at set instances to make your residence seem occupied. This is particularly smart when you’re out of town.
- Smart locks: Not remembering to secure your primary entrance is still among the most repeated errors homeowners make. Smart locks will alleviate this issue as they can be set to automatically lock. You can also engage them from any location with your mobile app.
If you’re implementing a sign without any other type of security, it’s just a vacant warning that isn’t likely to give you or your family members much comfort. You’ll find yourself hopeful that the sign is enough to deter crime whenever you’re away. In the long run, it may not be, as seasoned burglars will recognize if you haven’t included other types of security. It’s not worth the risk, especially when you consider the affordable monthly rates of fully featured, advanced systems.
