A more sophisticated option, is motion sensors. Motion sensors sense any type of motion within a certain radius to the sensor. When it senses motion, it immediately sends a signal out of the control panel that will inspect and see if the movement is suspicious. If the movement is really considered suspicious, It will react to the way you have it set and inform the proper authorities or sound alarm.

Being in great terms with your neighbors may save your valuable life. You don’t need to be so attached to them that they stay on a daily basis but you must always avoid entering into fights with your neighbors considering the fact that they may be the only ones who could help you should you call for help. Don’t irritate them by being boisterous all the time, so that when you do make some noise, they will instantly know something is wrong.

Do make sure there’s a clear line of sight from the road to your house. Bushes and fences might make your yard look good, but if they provide a hiding place they also make the yard look inviting to a burglar.

I am telling you about this today because I just heard a similar story. A woman looked out her window because she heard the security alarm going off at her neighbor’s house. Well, to her surprise, a bullet came through her window pane, hitting her on the under wire of her bra! Amazingly, she was uninjured! Talk about luck! It is refreshing to hear stories like this where people are safe when things could have been much worse. It gives us some hope, but not everybody is as lucky.
