Security Products help protect your home and your family from predators: Serial killer Danny Rolling confessed that he'd stopped at apartment 113, peeped in the uncovered windows and entered an unlocked door. He found Sonja Larson asleep upstairs, covered her mouth with duct tape and stabbed her to death. Then he went downstairs, taped Christina Powell's mouth, bound her hands, and when she awakened, told her he was going to rape and kill her, then did.
These products will protect you only if you use them properly. Remember that unlocked doors are responsible for roughly half of the 7,000+ home intrusions every day in the U.S. alone.
Remember to always keep an alarm system turned ON. Remember to check the peephole before you answer the doorbell – and never open for a stranger. An intercom helps you screen a visitor. Remember to beware of any stranger's scam-in at your door.
What good are superb security products if any one of your family members carelessly endangers all of you?
Using state-of-the-art products soon becomes a habit. They'll protect your valuables – and if you’re there when a home invader targets your home – they'll also protect you.
Of course,
NO security products are guaranteed to prevent any crime - but might serve you well if combined with the guidance in Home Security Overview and Outdoor Safety Overview.
