Your home is your most important possession, and it is understandable that you want to implement effective security features to ward off any potential trespassers. Fortunately, there are several inexpensive ways to make your home more secure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Alerting you to the presence of people (or\npossibly animals) outside your property, motion sensor lights are triggered by\nmovement. If someone is lurking outside your front door, they will set off a\nmotion sensor light that will signal to you that there is someone there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Motion sensor lights do not need to cost the\nearth. In fact, they cost an average of $20 per bulb<\/a> to\ninstall, with electrician fees coming in at around $50-60 per hour.\nFortunately, the lights should not take more than one or two hours to install.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are taking your home security\nseriously, it is time to ditch the doormat method. Potential burglars will know\nto check under doormats for spare keys to your house, so investing around $25\nin a combination lockbox can keep your key safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the boom of video doorbell systems such\nas Ring, LAPD has confirmed that they do indeed reduce crime rate<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n More specifically, the police force conducted\na study into two neighborhoods – one where each property had a video doorbell\ninstalled, and the other did not. It was reported that burglaries were down 50%\nin the neighborhood with video doorbells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The deterrent is simple – burglars do not want\nto be seen, and even less, spoken to. With the Ring system, you can see whoever\nis outside your home, and interact with them even if you are not at home. It\nconnects to Wi-Fi, and you receive a notification on your mobile device every\ntime your doorbell is rung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIf someone is around your car at 3\na.m., and you talk to them, they will run\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Ring\ndoorbell systems start from $199 – not as cheap as other methods on this list\nbut certainly a very effective one for discouraging burglars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alternatively,\nyou can install your own security cameras that can be monitored through your\nphone. This can give you even more peace of mind. Choosing the right\nsecurity camera system<\/a> can require a fair amount of research, however!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other ways\nto secure your home on the cheap (or for free)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Your home is your most important possession, and it is understandable that you want to implement effective security features to ward off any potential trespassers.
