What is a supportive security system and why is it important for home security?


Having a home security system can help ensure the safety of your family members and belongings in a great way but there has to be a supportive infrastructure for the security system. For instance, take doors. Every door should be made of tough material like steel but it learned that homeowners put more focus on the security of the main door instead of others.

Doors

They make the first line of defense of your home and for this reason, they have to be the strongest part of your home. It isn’t necessary that you use steel as wooden doors could be stronger than their steel counterparts. Your first priority should be the strength of the material and the design should be the secondary option. 

Windows

Windows often more open than doors and windows give access to the interior parts of a home. While there are many ways to bolster window designs, putting more focus on beautification could be compromising on the strength of window openings.

Locks

Electronic locks are more popular but manual locks haven’t disappeared completely. You shouldn’t compromise on the quality of manual locks while installing an electronic locking system. The manual locks are used when you are inside. Also, manual locks would improve the strength of your electronic locking system.

Multiple doors

A good idea to prevent opening your door for strangers is to use multiple doors. The main door should be protected with an access door that would give you ample time to think whether it is safe to open the door. Also, you can see the visitor from access door and even talk to him before opening the door. 

The entry-exit points of your home should be supportive of the CCTV and other security devices installed in the home. A strong door could resist forceful entry providing the CCTV ample time to record video and send an alarm signal.
