Peace of mind is a wonderful thing. A very high value is usually placed upon having it. I provide peace of mind to my friends and business associates through my residential security consulting. It isn't work to me either, for I am wired to be a protector. Where that passion comes from, I'll probably never fully understand.
This post is not about what motivates me however; It's about a device to improve your residential security.
A few weeks back I was speaking with a woman who lived alone in an apartment within a bad part of the city. She did not have peace of mind. Her nights were restless and interrupted by numerous unknown noises. It wasn't paranoia or her imagination either. Without a secure place to sleep, she was simply not resting well. Having a dog was also not an option.
In a previous post, I discussed window vibration alarms. This week I would to introduce yet another simple, effective, and inexpensive layer of defense for your home. This device does not use a sticker to adhere to a window though. You'll need some basic hand tools. I used a drill, small drill bit, and a screw driver to secure mine to the railing.
To the right is what the Doberman Security Motion Detector Alarm looks like installed at the top of my stair case. It has off, chime, and alarm settings, and it runs off a single 9 volt battery. The device uses an infrared sensor, and it perfectly sweeps the stairs as people walk up them. Small dogs or cats will not set it off. A large dog would however.
If you have a large dog though, it should be sleeping in the bedroom with you as yet another layer of defense.
Because it is at the very top of the stairs, you cannot see it from below. It is also very far out of reach by someone even if they did see it. I installed it in that location for a specific reason. At night my top floor is a separate security zone. It needs to have a higher level of security compared to the rest of my home because my children sleep in bedrooms opposite of mine.
The device, in other words, provides peace of mind. It acts as an additional layer of security, and it prevents a person from being caught off guard in their own home. Using devices like this one greatly improve your home's security. You'll sleep much better at night knowing it is there and always watching.
You can purchase the units for as little as $15 dollars a piece on the main webpage or on Amazon. I am not affiliated with Doberman Security, and I benefit in no way from recommending their products. No product will ever be recommended to you unless I've personally tested and used it too.
If I trust it, I know you can.
