To protect yourself against a burglary or to insure your property, it is important to protect it well. To do this, we will give you some advice to secure your home as best as possible.
Use an alarm system
To prevent break-in attempts and deter burglars from taking action, you have the option of using an alarm system. To effectively combat this, it is best to invest in a high-performance system capable of protecting your home 24/7. If you wish to install this system, have the alarm center connected to a team of intervention agents capable of arriving quickly at your home.
Have cameras installed
Maximum security requires the installation of such a system by a video surveillance professional. Be aware that at present, recent and efficient models can be found for less than 250 on the market. Some of these products can detect movements or sounds but can also identify faces and trigger an alarm. With a reasonable budget, you have the possibility of having a model installed that can record continuously.
Install shielding
This is an almost essential practice for your front door, especially if you live on a high floor in a building. Be aware that if you live in an apartment, 85% of burglars go through the door to enter your home. You should know that the highest floors are the most likely to be targeted by criminals. Opt for the installation of a multi-point lock or an armoured door. This can deter the burglar, especially if he does not have the time or the necessary tools to open your door.
Secure your windows
If you live in a house, in addition to doors, it is also best to reinforce your windows. Do not hesitate to have shutters installed, especially for large windows. In addition to securing your home, they can also allow you to save energy. If you live on the ground floor or your window openings are smaller, as is often the case for openings in toilets or bathrooms, you can install bars. Be aware that metal or solid hardwood shutters are stronger than PVC or openwork wood shutters, which are easier to break.
The possibility of subscribing to insurance
Please note that if you own your home, taking out home insurance is not mandatory, unless the property you own is in joint ownership. To protect your property as best as possible, taking out such insurance can allow you to avoid paying repair costs in the event of a disaster. Most often, multi-risk insurance will be able to cover damage related to fire, theft, water damage, etc. This type of insurance covers both your property and the furniture inside your home.
