Week 1 Discussion 2 – Home Security

You must respond to student in order to receive credit

First student:

At my house we have a brinks security system with alarms and cameras. we also have a sensor on our driveway that notifies us when something crosses it. Once you reach the inside we have a safe for our valuables and a gun safe that stores the guns when we aren't home or using them to protect our property. In the past we have had our home burglarized and after that we stepped our security to protect ourselves. We have a Brinks security sign at the bottom of our driveway to warn people.

2nd student:

Having an alarm system is great because it scares off the criminals and notifies the authorities. The only issue is that the criminals have already caused damage to your property before the alarm has gone off. I think just having the sign up in your yard is almost more important. If you can’t afford an alarm system. Just buying a sign that has ADT on it, or a different security company, can deter criminals from even trying to break into your house. Home security companies also give out stickers that you could post all around your house on windows and doors.
