No matter who you are, or where you live, your HOME can become the victim of vandals and burglars. It is therefore very important that you consider the options and products available in the Home Protection market, so that you, your family and your possessions can remain safe.

Life styles vary a great deal from family to family. With some couples both partners go out to work, with others only one. With families there is again much variation in those who remain at home. Having someone around to keep an eye on things is a great deterrent to the thief - changes of routine rather than predictable habits are good.

Where you live also plays a great part in the risks - it makes a great difference whether you're in a busy neighborhood, or out in the wilds of the country. Starting or joining a Neighborhood Watch Scheme can play a great part in making your locality a safer one.

One option is to have a burglar alarm installed in your home. Different households have different requirements when it comes to alarm systems, so advice should be sort from an expert.

There are a great many factors governing this choice.

* the nature of the surroundings
* proximity of neighbors
* type of house construction
* window and door types and numbers
* paths and driveways
* garages
* outbuildings
* and any areas which are naturally concealed from view

Also to be considered is the type of life that you lead. All these are important to give the home just what it needs for maximum security.

Many different kinds of burglar alarm systems are available, basically falling into three distinctive types - hard wired, wireless and motion sensor. They are loaded with different features for deterring the burglars and thieves.More expensive systems offer a service anytime the alarm is set off silently. There is either a constant monitoring watch over your home, or a connection is made to the emergency alarm center.

The best type of alarm system is one that can monitor every part of your house. A cheaper system will only monitor a number of locations at one time. Research shows that in most thefts, door or windows are used to gain entry. PIR Motion Detectors use Split Zone Optic technology. They and able to perceive trespassers approaching slowly and crawling on the ground, while ignoring the household pets. Standard Door/Window Wireless Sensors are used to protect inside and outside of your home. These sensors detect so well that it is almost impossible for burglars approach unnoticed.

Some consideration should be given to what you do if you have a break in, both if you are there and if you are not. Partly this depends on your surroundings, and your alarm system. External alarms are often ignored by neighbors and passers by as they seem prone to going off for no reason. In this respect, arrangements with neighbors and neighborhood watch schemes can be very useful as an action force.
