Every home has its share of locks, but until a few years ago, it used to take Ming Dynasty porcelain vases, Picasso sketches and other high-priced, high-visibility valuables for home owners to justify purchasing home security systems.
But a growing rate of burglaries, which now account for nearly 35 percent of all the crimes recorded in the United States, along with fires, has changed the minds of owners of homes both lavish and modest, career-minded families who spend long hours away from home and even senior citizens who worry about being unprotected.
Home security has come a long way in recent years, both in options and prices. Microchip technology has made the newest home security systems even more reliable than that most lovable and popular of home alarms – the big, barking canine and accompanying “Beware of Dog” sign.

The most valuable improvement to be made to any home is the addition of a reliable home security system. Security systems help protect persons and possessions from fire, burglary and other dangers.
Until recently, the high costs of equipment and installation have prevented most people from enjoying the benefits of a well-protected home or apartment. But things have changed. New state-of-the-art electronic systems are now available that provide the protection of expensive, professional systems and can be installed easily by almost anyone. The savings in labor alone reduces the cost by at least half – with no compromise in home or personal protection.
In addition to watching over your house (or apartment) for fire, burglars, medical emergencies or other threats, some home security systems have a voice which guides you in setting up and operating the entire system, step by step. It also identifies the specific detector which triggered an alarm, and voices many other commands, requests and messages.

At the low-cost end of the spectrum, you’ll find heavy-duty locks for windows and doors to beef up security, peepholes for peering at unknown visitors, motion-sensitive floodlights that flash on when someone comes too close and battery- powered motion alarms that protect a single door or window.

There’s a relatively new home security system which offers a personal greeting to the intruding burglar. “Attention, this is alarm central station,” a live voice booms over a phone speaker. “Please identify yourself immediately. Police have been dispatched!”
This live-voice home security technology has been developed because burglars are learning to ignore regular mechanical alarms.
This wireless, portable security system lets operators at a security monitoring centre speak directly to the homeowner, or burglar, through an automatically triggered intercom system.
