It does not take much for a burglar to break that glass, reach in and open the latch, or turn the knob on the single cylinder deadbolt.

  • Increasing the Burglar's Fear and Reducing Your Own

     If we hear about a burglary, perhaps in our own neighborhood, it increases the fear that we ourselves may get a visit from a burglar. This is a natural reaction.

The monitoring fee charged varies from company to company, but it typically ranges from around $10 at the low end to $50 per month. You may also consider being locked into a contract to be another downside. Again, the length of a security alarm monitoring contract varies, 36 months being fairly typical.More

  • Low Cost Home Security, Protecting Your Home Within Your Budget.

     Sometimes we make the assumption that we can't afford something before we investigate the cost involved. Do you make that mistake with your home security? Perhaps we would all like the latest all singing, all dancing home security system, but maybe we are unable to stretch our budget to afford it just at the present. However, not being able to afford the very best in home security technology does not mean that we should neglect the security of our homes altogether, in fact it would be very foolish to do so. More
