<a href="http://www.excite.com/content/home-security/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/iStock_50234754_LARGE.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://www.excite.com/content/home-security/blog/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/iStock_50234754_LARGE.gif" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /><h2>
<span style="color: red;"><i><strong>1- The Front Door</strong></i></span></h2>
It is hard to imagine that a burglar would have the guts to walk in 
straight through the front door of your house. Unfortunately, this is 
very true. 34% of burglars enter through the front door – a percentage 
higher than that for any other point of entry. This is not surprising – 
the spare key you keep under the flower pot near the entrance, is not a 
wise move, everyone knows about it. And most of the times, burglars 
don’t even need keys. They are experienced in kicking the door down and 
entering, or removing the hinges to silently gain access to your home.<br />

Here are some steps you can take to protect your front door:<br />

<ul>
<li>Install a deadbolt lock for added defense</li>
<li>Equip your front door with a strong strike plate – to defend against potential kick-ins</li>
<li>Always ensure that you have locked the door when you leave the house</li>
<li>Install a door alarm so that you are notified every time someone goes in or out of your house without permission</li>
</ul>
<h2>
<span style="color: red;"><i><strong>2- The Back Door and Sliding Glass Doors</strong></i></span></h2>
Back entrances are always an attractive option for burglars. They are
 the ideal entry points since burglars want to avoid unwanted attention 
from neighbors. Back doors through the kitchen or sliding glass door 
opening into the deck are vulnerable points from a security perspective.
 A lot of people leave these doors unlocked or don’t care much for them 
since they are not used often. And burglars take advantage of this fact.
 Sliding doors in particular are very vulnerable, even if not smashed. 
Their standard locks can be opened quite easily and they can be lifted 
off their tracks even when locked.<br />

Here are some suggestions to protect your back door or sliding door:<br />

<ul>
<li>Install durable locks and strike plates for added defense</li>
<li>A wooden dowel jammed in the track for your sliding door may slow the burglar down</li>
<li>A sliding bolt to secure the frame might also help in preventing the door from being easily lifted if it is off its track</li>
<li>Make sure you lock all the doors every time you leave the house</li>
<li>Install a door alarm or a glass-breakage alarm to ensure sufficient protection for the backdoor<strong> </strong></li>
</ul>
<h2>
<span style="color: red;"><i><strong>3- The First Floor Windows</strong></i></span></h2>
When thinking of securing your home, you might not initially give 
much thought to securing the windows. However, you would be surprised to
 find out that nearly 23% of burglars enter your home through the first 
floor windows. Windows are potentially the weakest points in your home 
and are frequently taken advantage of by burglars. Often, burglars would
 test every point of entry into your home – if the door does not give 
them access, they are likely to try and get through the windows.<br />

Here are a few tips you can use to secure your windows against potential break-ins:<br />

<ul>
<li>Install reinforced glass – tempered glass, laminated glass or 
bullet-proof glass can be potential options, depending on your security 
needs</li>
<li>Consider polycarbonate and Plexiglas windows – they are of the same 
thickness as normal glass, but are nearly 10 times stronger and 250 
times more impact resistant</li>
<li>Install window bars – having iron bars on your windows is 
potentially one of the strongest defenses against burglars. Glass can be
 broken, but burglars can’t squeeze through iron bars</li>
<li>Invest in a window alarm – a window sensor, window alarm or glass breakage alarm can be installed to provide added security</li>
<li>Install a deadbolt locking system on the window</li>
<li>Make sure you keep the windows closed when you are not home</li>
</ul>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red;"><i><b>*</b></i></span> <span style="color: #38761d;">In addition to protecting these </span><span style="color: #38761d;"><span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en" tabindex="-1"><span>three</span></span> specific 
points, you might want to invest in installing additional security 
gadgets. These could include CCTV cameras inside and outside your house,
 bright lighting for the outdoors, infrared motion sensors etc. These 
gadgets will only help increase the security detail on your house and 
give you greater control over every point in your house. Other methods 
can include getting a dog, keeping the lights switched on even when you 
are not home (to give the impression of being home) and remotely 
monitoring your house for any odd activities.</span></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
</h4>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #38761d;">These 3 entry points are the most common places intruders look at if 
they intend on burglarizing your house. Strengthening the security at 
these points will help you decrease the chances of break-ins and keep 
your family and valuables safe from harm.</span></h4>

Open houses can be a great sales tool—but hosting one also exposes you 
to numerous unfamiliar people for the first time. Take these steps to 
stay safe:</div>

<ol>
<li> 
  <b>If possible, always try to have at least one other person working with you at the open house.</b></li>
<li><b>
  Check your cell phone’s strength and signal prior to the open house. Have emergency numbers programmed on speed dial.</b></li>
<li><b>
  Upon entering a house for the first time, check all rooms and 
determine several “escape” routes. Make sure all deadbolt locks are 
unlocked to facilitate a faster escape.</b></li>
<li><b>
  Make sure that if you were to escape by the back door, you could 
escape from the backyard. Frequently, high fences surround yards that 
contain swimming pools or hot tubs.</b></li>
<li><b>
  Have all open house visitors sign in. Ask for full name, address, phone number and email.</b></li>
<li><b>
  When showing the house, always walk behind the prospect. Direct them; 
don’t lead them. Say, for example, “The kitchen is on your left,” and 
gesture for them to go ahead of you.</b></li>
<li><b>
  Avoid attics, basements, and getting trapped in small rooms.</b></li>
<li><b>
  Notify someone in your office, your answering service, a friend or a 
relative that you will be calling in every hour on the hour. And if you 
don’t call, they are to call you.</b></li>
<li><b>
  Inform a neighbor that you will be showing the house and ask if he or 
she would keep an eye and ear open for anything out of the ordinary.</b></li>
<li><b>
  Don’t assume that everyone has left the premises at the end of an open
 house. Check all of the rooms and the backyard prior to locking the 
doors. Be prepared to defend yourself, if necessary.</b></li>
</ol>

<i>SafeWise considers many factors when 
analyzing and ranking security systems. We consider the quality of 
service, how expensive the equipment is, how cutomer-friendly the 
company is, and most importantly, what security features are offered. 
With so many systems on the market today, and so many factors to 
consider, we've put together a few helpful suggestions for you. Consider
 these three key elements when determining which system and company best
 suit your home and lifestyle:</i></h3>
<h3>
<i><span style="color: red;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">1-</span></i><i></i><b> Monitoring:      <span style="color: #e06666;">landline, cellular , or broadband</span></b></span></i><i> </i></h3>
<h3>
<i>==> You want to be confident that your system will be able to 
communicate effectively with your monitoring center 24 hours a day, in 
case of an emergency. Consider the three ways your system can contact 
the monitoring center when your alarm is triggered, and choose the one 
that best suits your home.</i></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: red;"><i><span style="font-size: large;">2- </span></i></span><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="color: red;"><i>Installation</i></span><span style="color: #e06666;">:        Professional vs Do It Yourself</span></b></span></div>
<div class="mobile-12 tablet-12 desktop-6 columns installation-copy">
<b>Some companies let you choose between 
professional of DIY installation, while other companies only offer one 
or the other. Do it yourself (DIY) systems do not require professional 
installation, which means an installer doesn't come to your home to set 
up the system and show you how to use it. Instead, you are mailed the 
equipment and given instructions on how to set it up on your own. 
Typically, DIY systems are wireless, making installation fairly 
easy—most customers say they can install their systems in 30 or 40 
minutes. The DIY installation option typically means that the customers 
own the equipment and can move it, so this tends to be the choice of 
renters or people who change addresses frequently.

                                A professionally installed system 
usually requires and installation fee. The benefit of a professionally 
installed system is that you don't have to worry about making a mistake 
during the installation process. A professional will ensure that the 
system is set up properly and answer any questions you have. 
Professionally installed systems can be either wireless or hardwired; 
It's important to find out beforehand because some require a landline. 
If you're not sure how long you'll be in your current home, it's 
important to note that if your system requires professional 
installation, it usually means there are stipulations for moving it to a
 new home. </b><br />
