Sadly our news today is that crime is on the rise, from home invasions, injuries and death. Comprehending this may not be easy but F.B.I. statistics show that every 15 seconds a burglary occurs in the United States.

There is good news to all this, today there is now a large variety of affordable security devices that can be installed. Together we can fight back.

One installation plan will not be appropriate for every home when we talk about home security systems. To meet the exacting wants of every home, security equipment needs to be custom designed.

One site may well require access detection, as another requires camera supervision, and yet a further may call for motion-activated floodlights.

Let's take a glance at a few of the several choices on hand.

Home Security Systems - Much has been written on this subject and the basics are probably understood by most readers. Systems can be either wired or wireless, just as the names suggest. 

   Both a wired and unwired system can be programmed to sound an alarm, connect to a monitoring system, or a perform a customized response.

Surveillance Cameras are available through a wired and wireless format. They are successful in allowing you to view more than one location if desired. The display capability to view more than one location all on one single screen provides an advantage and time saver.

With the fast pace in technology, there are more features offered at better prices all the time. A recent offer provides a color camera with an outdoor motion-activated combination. Trusting people in our homes is not as easy as it used to be so a hidden wireless camera can give the owner a piece of mind. To no one's surprise, the ability to know what is occurring while we are away with our valuables and children makes this device the most popular.
