Home Security-shocking Best Defense Against Home Invasion And Top Eight Tips

Home security companies advertise on TV day and night. You see their ads all the time. They are trying to get your business of course. The reason is because home burglary and home invasions are two of the fastest-growing crimes in the country.

A home invasion is a version of a home burglary. Home burglary is usually done by one person who picks a house that he knows the occupants are gone. A home invasion is usually done by two or more people specifically done when they know the occupants are there.

So in that sense it's a much more terrifying crime and it usually ends in some kind of violence, whereas in a burglary the bad guy is in and out hopefully without even anyone knowing about it.

Police statistics show that 90 percent or more of all all home burglaries can be prevented. Sixty percent of all home burglaries happen through unlocked doors and windows. And the shocking thing about home invasions is they almost always occur through the front door. Usually what happens is that someone rings the doorbell or knocks on a door and the home invaders given an inch barge right in.

The most obvious way-the best defense-to prevent a home invasion is to use your peephole and see who is at your front door before you let them in. If you don't have a peephole. Then you should get one.

There are many things that homeowners can do to improve their home security that are free or at no cost that will help prevent a home invasion. Here are the top eight tips.

1. Start or join a 'neighborhood watch' they are free and very effective.

2. Clear potential hiding places from lower level doors and windows.

3. Post a sign in your front yard warning of a viscous guard dog.

4. Eliminate darkened areas around your home with motion activated spotlights.

5. Lock all doors and windows even when you are at home.

6. Use your peephole. If you don't have one-get one!

7. Install some security cameras.

8. Have some self defense products like a Mace pepper gun around the house in case someone gets in.
