So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Gauging The Effectiveness Of Your Home Security System

By J.p. Santos


It takes a combined analysis of you, your property and your household to make an effective home security system. These are the main indicators of how vulnerable you are to theft or invasion. The presence of sensitive documents in the house also indicates the level of alertness required.

The choice of the method used to secure your house requires a thorough assessment of your risk levels. Getting this assessment right ensures that you take the right cover instead of over doing or under covering yourself. This will save you unnecessary expenditure. A professional guide ensures that you make the right choices.

Three principles are used when carrying out an assessment on how secure you, your family or property is. You require gathering the right information, thoroughly analyze it and finally coming up with a working plan.

Law enforcement officers will tell you the rate of crime in the area, recent fire or natural disasters or any related emergency. Neighbors are an eye-witness source of this information too. The probe should go further to include tendencies and mannerisms you display that might expose you to risky fires or attacks. Examine your house and identify any areas that give you away as a soft target.

Ensuring effective home security system demands an objective thief-thinking strategy. A friend or relative can help you identify vulnerability areas and issues around the house. Some of the areas to look at are any bushes around, ineffective locks and windows that are easy to break through, among other installations. Personal risky behaviors are included here.

Information gathered is then analyzed with the view of understanding the likelihood of being a soft target. Some websites and books have developed effective strategies to help in ranking each factor. These factors have a contribution to make in securing you, your property or family.

The analysis should be followed by zoning where you identify vulnerable points around your home. It is best to practically draw this on a paper or use a computer application. The main areas are doors, windows, areas covered by bushes or other structures as well as and those that can be easily broken using simple tools. Mark these areas since they will form the main focus when securing your house.

A combination of information search, analysis and developed plan enable you come up with an appropriate home security system. Some of the equipment you might consider using are sensors for hidden areas. A good choice will effectively protect multiple zones. Blind spots must be avoided at all cost and the system must be easy to monitor from a central point.
