64% of households confess leaving doors open while away and 6% of the victims experience a violent crime. Installing surveillance cameras, security systems with home automation and high security locks is a must factor in these circumstances.
High Security locks protect you from breaking in unless you leave it open or hand the keys it to the wrong people.There are variety of locks starting from deadbolts and knob lobs to lever handles, rim locks and so on, hence choosing the right lock can be overwhelming.
Some locks may not open from the inside leaving you locked in and requiring professional intervention, like Residential Locksmith to get you out by replacing or extracting the keys.
Surveillance cameras are fast, easy and precise and can be connected to security systems, allowing you to monitor every corner of your home. It is good for monitoring activities, detecting behavior and gathering and maintaining data.
