Best Things to Do to Protect Your Home from Intrusion

Your home is one of your very valuable assets along with your car, your jewelry and so many other things. It is the place where your family lives and it is here you wish to spend many memorable days and nights together! Therefore, protecting your house from any possible intrusion and burglary should be at the top of your priority list.

Let’s quickly go through some critical questions that come in our mind whenever we think of home security. For example, the first question could be where you think you need security cameras – at the front door, at the back door, at the side gate, staircase, where? Another thing to figure out is what are the most susceptible spots in your home that would be most appealing to burglars? Also, try to find out whether your neighbourhood has a history of frequent break-ins? If yes, where? 

Remember, your home’s safety lies in your hands only, so take a decision wisely when installing home security cameras. No vulnerable spots should be left unguarded. You should install cameras in such a way thieves cannot break them and they are out of reach. Best thing to do is hide the cameras from burgling eyes so that during theft cameras will record everything for easy catching of the criminal.

I can recommend a hybrid method: install real security cameras out of reach and of course out of sight and put dummy cameras in various positions on your property. Even if thieves destroy one camera, the others will be safe and you will get a video of the entire act as a proof of vandalism. 

Here are five spots where you can install a security camera.

1. Front Door

Here’s a shocking statistic that reveals around 30% home burglary occurs through an unlocked door. So you definitely need to consider installing a surveillance camera at the front door. It is better to place a camera at a height to prevent the thieves from damaging it. A good idea can be placing it at second-floor level with a focus on the front door. If your home has just one level, try to place a mesh wiring to protect the security camera from rocks, sticks or other weapons.

Expert Tip: You can install a CCTV PTZ dome security camera for best surveillance during day and night. PTZ security system comes with a motorized pan, tilt, and zooming feature for better capturing of objects and acts. And, when it comes to best home security cameras, A2Z Security Cameras, LLC is the number one manufacturer of PTZ cameras on the market.

2. Back Door

Another favorite spot for home burglars is the back door. You need to place a camera there as well to prevent intrusion. The bottom line is to install a surveillance system at each entry door. You must place the camera at a height for instant recording all acts without the possibility of causing damage to the camera. 

Expert Tip: Be sure to install a camera that is both weatherproof and is equipped with night vision. You can purchase a day and night security camera of Samsung, Bosch or KTNC. The CCTV vandal proof dome security cameras can also be good bait.

3. Off-Street Windows

Burglars often enter a home by breaking a back window. It is easier for the thieves to enter a house through a window that is not in direct view of the street. So, it is important to guard all your rear windows with a camera that cannot be viewed from the street.

Expert Tip: You can install a IP cube, box, or dome security camera that can support any wireless network communication. It can be easily operated from a mobile device or tablet. A2Z Security Cameras supplies a wide variety of wireless cameras from brands like Bosch, Axis, Geovision, and Messoa.

4. Backyard/Side Gate

Crooks often love to intrude a home through the backyard or side gate. You must install night vision surveillance cameras at different spots to protect your home and belongings. You must also place a security camera at the entrance gate to stop all possible intrusions. 

Expert Tip: A2Z provided megapixel high definition day and night IP security cameras can be the best option to easily record all acts.

5. Basement Stairs

If you have a basement with an unprotected door or small windows, it is high time; install a surveillance system for stopping all crooks from unwanted entry in your home via the subterranean route.

Expert Tip: When it comes to securing your basement, you should always go for a motion sensor security camera that comes with night vision feature. Axis M1031-W Wireless Cube IP security camera has built in LED illumination with high-quality PIR sensor for best surveillance, 24/7. There are also thermal infrared security cameras found on the market offered by A2Z Security Cameras, LLC.
