"Moving from an apartment to a house has its perks, from having more living space to finally being able to enjoy a lawn. However, it's understandable if you feel a bit frightened by the possibility of intruders or other safety issues. After all, unlike apartments, which typically have their own safety measures in place, a new home is often a blank slate. The good news is that there are plenty of steps you can take to make your home safer."
"1. Invest in a home security system According to a recent study, a burglar strikes every 41 seconds in the US, adding up to more than a burglary per minute and over 2,000 burglaries per day. A home security system may be one of the best investments you can make when it comes to protecting yourself and your home. These can act as deterrents since burglars are less likely to target a home if they know a security system is installed."
Moving from an apartment to a house brings increased space and new safety responsibilities. New homes often lack built-in security systems and require planning to address intruders, fires, and childproofing. Home security systems provide strong deterrence and monitoring, and motion-detecting lights increase visibility around entry points. Smart doorbells offer live video feeds to a phone for front-door monitoring. Regularly assess vulnerabilities, prioritize inexpensive but effective measures like lights and sensors, and layer devices and procedures to maximize protection for occupants and property.
