23 Feb 5 Essential Home Security Tips
According to a survey by Vox, around 90% of our time is spent indoors, largely within the walls of our homes. Our homes are structures built to shelter and protected us and those we love. But just as we need protection, so do our houses. Whether away or at home, there are potential risks that could impact any household at any time, and a few simple measures can be taken to prevent a good number of them.
Home Security Is a Must
Though we don’t like to believe it, where there are people, there is usually crime. Crime is no respecter of status nor is it exclusive to any specific demographic, region or economic class. For this reason, home security is very necessary for the proper safeguarding of what matters most. Here are some simple home security tips from your leading Utah and Arizona security service, CBI Security:
1. Invest in a Video Surveillance System
Video surveillance is a very effective crime prevention tool. Not only can the cameras themselves act as an effective deterrent but can help resolve matters and salvage valuable property after a crime has been committed. In addition, homeowners with home surveillance tools in place are able to have eyes on their property at all times, from anywhere.
CBI Security specializes in video surveillance security services. Beginning with a surveillance consultation and ending with complete security protocol integration, we can provide you with the answers and resources you need to keep your property protected from damage and theft.

2. Automate Your Home
When it comes to home automation, there are two powerful elements to consider— locks and sensors. Being able to control your locks from afar is an invaluable capability. Not only can you let someone into your home with the push of a button, but you can also ensure that your home is always properly secured. There never has to be a question as to whether or not the doors were locked or the garage, closed.
In like manner, sensors are important to implement for the purposes of safety. Sensors in doorways and windows can lend peace of mind, alerting you in the event of a breach. Such automation solutions are powerful, affordable and simple. Consider integrating such tools for greater home protection.
3. Add a Peephole to Your Front Door
It can be risky opening your doors to strangers blindly. Attacks at the front door are not unheard of and can happen at any time. Knowing what you are confronting is a simple way to protect you and those within your home. Peepholes are cheap, ranging from about $10-$30 on average and are easy to install. It’s a small price to pay for safety.
Another popular option is a peephole or doorbell camera. Though they do not provide the vantage that a video surveillance solution would, they are effective in displaying the face in front of your door, thus, adding a measure of safety.
4. Strategic Lighting Goes a Long Way
Lighting can be a very impactful home feature. Motion-activated outdoor lighting can ward off potential intruders. Light is associated with activity, therefore, break-ins are a lot less likely when your porch, patio and yard receive some degree of lighting during the nighttime hours. There are many affordable solutions that strategically use lighting as a deterrent. This can go a long way in securing your home.
5. Consider Tinting Windows
Large, clear windows are certainly beautiful, but they put everything inside your home on display making it easier for intruders to determine who and what is inside the home. Home window tinting allows you to see out, but makes it harder for others to see inside. This grants you the privacy and protection that you deserve as a homeowner while also helping with temperature regulation on hot summer days. There are benefits all around.
