Home Security Considerations | Homestead Security | Forums

I didn't watch the videos I'll try to over the weekend so if this is covered excuse my post.

Let me say I have done allot of Security Evaluations for Businesses and various Clients that I have protected over the yrs. One of the best deterrents you can get imo is a Video Surveillance System. I have literally went to Sam's Club on a couple of protection details I've worked and bought a cheap system for a couple hundred bucks. You can buy a good set up with four camera's and a digital recorder for under $500. Most of the time you get a small break on your home insurance as well. It's something you can install yourself if you have some common sense and a little mechanical inclination. One thing I suggest if hiding the recorder as best you can just in case you should have a break in. You also can get a set up now days that has a feed right to your cell so you can look at your home anytime you want.

No problem. I could give recommendations all day if I knew the layout of peoples property or a specific threat.

Here's what I suggest, go outside of your home and walk around the property and think "if I wanted to get into this property for whatever reason how would I do it"? Try to be optimistic about it and write it all down, then have a close friend do the same thing on their own writing down everything they can think of no matter how outrageous. When you get their list compare it to yours, I promise you it will open your eyes.
