Picking a System
Security lighting comes in a variety of designs, is energy efficient, and is reliable. There are many options, including timers that will automatically turn your lights on, sensors that will activate when any motion is detected, and lighting that illuminates from dusk till dawn.
Home security lighting includes, but is not limited to:
- Flood lights
- Entryway lighting
- Walkway lighting
- Porch lighting
- Motion detectors
- Timers
Burglars fear lights. Their goal is to remain hidden, and when a bright light suddenly appears on your property, their usual response is to run to remain undetected - hopefully without any of your things. You would be surprised how much difference the installation of one light could make to your property. You can choose an outdoor motion light, which is sure to surprisingly brighten any burglar's face, or go with something more technological, such as floodlights that fire up to 60 watts of light onto your property. They are energy-efficient, running off solar power, and can run for up to 8 hours straight.
Cameras Deter Crime
Research has proven that the visibility of cameras alone reduces crime. It demonstrates that your home is being protected. When scouting out a neighborhood, burglars will often be deterred by the sight of a camera and continue to the next place. Homeowners who invest in a home security system are 40% less likely to be a victim of burglary.

Having security cameras installed will also lower your insurance premiums. Most insurance companies offer discounts for clients who have video security systems. You could save up to 20% in insurance costs by installing a security camera. The savings will help cover the cost of the system, and combined with the peace of mind you will have, it will more than pay for itself.
Smoke Detectors
Having smoke detectors installed on every level of your home is essential to your safety. Often times, fires start in basements and garages. It's important to remember these places. There are also hard-wired smoke alarms, which offer strobe lights and vibrating devices for those who have hearing impairments. Battery-operated smoke detectors are a decade-old technology and need to be updated. Local ordinances require homes to have hard-wired smoke alarms and carbon monoxide alarms. Your smoke alarms will be hard-wired into your household wiring. Your alarms can also be connected so that they all alert at the same time in the instance of danger, giving its occupants valuable extra time to escape harm.
