My love of my life, the wireless home security alarm system lol!

In the last post I talked about the benefits to having a motion detector light outside your house to keep the criminals away. Well it’s still doing the business for me as I have had no trouble and if you remember I live in a really bad area when it comes to theft and knife crime.

Anyway as someone who takes their safety very seriously, I wanted to talk today about wireless home security alarm systems. If you don’t know what these are then I advise you to check out Cool Home Security’s wireless alarm guide. Once you read that come back here.

Well I have had one of these devices for over 3 years now and I must say it’s the best piece of equipment we have got. Well that’s of course after the TV and the kids Wii (we love the Wii!).

The alarm itself that I have set up covers all my windows and doors and I can actually control it from a panel that I have in my living room.

I have it set up in a way that if there is any break ins to the two doors I have downstairs or the three windows I have upstairs, the alarm will sound immediately.

Sounds good right, well not only that I put my mobile number in it so that if it goes off I get a message sent to my mobile. Sweet babes!

I am thinking of upgrading my wireless alarm however but I need more funds before I spend on this as I am a bit skint after a bit of shopping I did at the weekend lol!

In other news in my life my hubby David got a promotion at work. I say in other news but I am hoping he will give me a little extra allowance from it.

Hello again my lovelies!

I told a few of my girlfriends about this site and mentioned that they sh9ould read my article on the home security signs. They now think I am great because they have created these signs for all over their house for not only their kids to shape up but for their husbands and boyfriends too ha-ha!

I wanted to talk today about other ways to make sure your kids and family is safe and that is certain ways to make your house secure from outsiders such as criminals and thief’s.

One way that I have been combating the would be criminals from entering my house is a simple motion triggered light just outside next to the front door. The premise is simple; if the sensor detects movement a light will go on and shine on whoever or whatever is in my garden at that time.

I have noticed some cases that the light has gone of because of a cat or a hedgehog but that is to be expected. The main purpose for the light is to put off any potential person thinking about breaking into my property.

So far so good, I’ve not had any incidents which are a good thing as I live in a rather bad area when it comes to break ins. Just last week a neighbour had their door bashed in, television and video game consoles stolen.

I don’t need to tell you that it’s quite a bit of money lost for the poor people. I feel sorry for them but a little part of me likes to think that it wouldn’t have ever happened if they had simply put these procedures into place.

There are of course other ways to protect your home other than setting up a motion detector light outside. I will be talking about these with time to come but for now, the kids are screaming and I need a well deserved cup of tea. Later girlfriends!!
