In a world with a high rate of burglary and theft, it is important that you set up these tech security measures. Even when the crime rate in your locality is low (which if we are to be honest, is sadly rare), there is still a need to feel safe.
Hence, take some time to go through the suggestions below. Also, start to use them as soon as possible to ensure you and your family are not victims of criminals.
1. Secure all Entrances
In all situations, burglars enter buildings via either the windows or doors. Besides use proper lock systems and deadbolts, you can use some technology. Get glass break sensors for windows and a video doorbell to see who is at the door before even getting up to answer it.
2. Set up a Security System
Alarms are a great way to discourage break-in. With bells and sirens going off, a thief would be looking for the fastest exit than what to steal. So, ensure you have this in place. You can contact security tech firms to help you build one and live safely.
3. Use Security Cameras
This tool has lead to the arrest of many who believed they had successfully robbed a victim. The ones outside might be visible but not to make family members and guests uncomfortable, you should keep the interior cans hidden. However, put up a notice that a camera is being used to ensure everyone visiting you knows they are being watched.

4. Keep your Compound Alit
It is common knowledge that sneaky creatures prefer operating in the dark. Thieves are no different. Keep them away by using proper light on every inch of your compound. You become less interesting and mysterious when they can see every inch of your compound and nothing flashy but a plain building.
5. Protect Your Wi-Fi
Remember that most of the financial transactions you do in your home can be accessed through your home Wi-Fi. Hence, don’t forget to set up difficult passwords on your network. You or your family members may give friends the password when they visit, so change it as frequently as possible. Even weekly.
6. Use a Hidden Safe
Get a safe to put all your valuables in at home. Ensure it is built by discreet security firms with a good reputation. Keep the safe hidden and don’t spread knowledge of it.
One thing is certain about all the above tips; secrecy. There is nothing to be gained by bragging to others in public about what tech security measures you use. You never know who might be listening.
Further, don’t write passwords in papers that you discard in the waste bin as someone might be looking through your trash.
Stay safe and live a better life with technology as your security. Living in fear only happens when there are no security measures.
