Welcome to our voted themed OG RCD article post. This is maybe a four or five

blog post. In this article you’ll have a really short intro of the four levels of security

systems.
-           The definition
-           Inexpensive safety tips
-           Alarm systems
-           Camera systems

Level 1: Perimeter Protection Security System (FENCE)

Definition:

Inner Perimeter Protection Security System is the third level. This level of security

specifies only house walls. We are talking about tips that you as home owner can 

do to protect you from burglars entering your home.

Inexpensive safety tips:

DOORS

Get the right doors: If your front and back doors are hollow, you need to replace 

them immediately. All exterior doors should be solid and made from the following 

materials:

•       Fiberglass

•       Solid wood

•       Solid wood core

•       Metal

If installing/replacing a new door and frame:

•       Consider a fiberglass door that swings outward rather than inward

•       Use security hinges.

•       Having a door open in this way helps absorb any type of forced entry.

•       Replace all windowed exterior doors with windowless doors. 

•       You should not have windows close enough to the door so that a thief could

break the window and unlock the door from the inside.

•       If you do have this cover the glass with a security grate or grille on the outside

or a clear, unbreakable polycarbonate panel secured behind the glass on the 

inside.

Lock your doors

•       Install keyed locks at the top and bottom.

•       Use  a bar that swings down from the door frame to the middle of the door.

Reinforce your entryway

1.    Install cylinder guards around the lock cylinders

2.    Replace flimsy strike plates

3.    Secure exposed hinges

4.    Fortify your frame

Install viewers/peep holes

•       Viewers, also called peep holes allow you to see who is on the other side of

the door.

•       Install wide-angle viewers at eye level on all exterior doors.

•       If you have to open your door to see, your locks won't do you much good. Try

to find peep holes with covers to prevent people from looking back in with special

tools, like a reverse peephole viewer.

Installing door bars:

•       Make sure to place them correctly.

•       Keep fire safety in mind when placing the door bars.

Alarm Systems

Alarm tips for doors:

•       Make use of your porch lights.

•       Place burglar alarms:

•       Use motion detectors. Place them on the patio and/or in front of every

entering door.

•       Use vibration detectors. The alarm will go off when burglars our entering your

doors.

•       Make sure that motion and/or vibration detectors are also placed every

story of your home.

Camera Systems

Camera tips for doors:

•       Use lights with motion detectors. This will make the sight from your doors

clearly through the cameras.

•       Place the cameras perfectly to keep every door and window in sight.
