Security Tips
Physical Security: Protecting Your Space
A secure home or office relies on the "Delay and Deter" principle: making it too time-consuming or risky for someone to attempt entry.
Home & Office Essentials
Reinforce Entry Points: Most standard door frames are held by short 1-inch screws. Replace them with 3-inch screws that reach the wall studs. This makes the door significantly harder to kick in.
Smart Lighting Scenarios: Use motion-sensor lights for the exterior, but for the interior, use smart plugs to create "lived-in" patterns (e.g., the TV turning on at 7 PM) while you are away.
Protect the Network Brain: Ensure your router and security hub are connected to a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). If an intruder cuts the power, your cameras and Wi-Fi will stay active to send you an alert.
Landscaping for Visibility: Keep shrubs near windows trimmed to waist height. Tall bushes provide "blind spots" where someone can work on a lock or window unseen.
