Camera's a very good suggestion. My old hood, next door had a system, monitored by a patrol service that phoned when it went off. People had no cell phones. No one answered inside. The wife was an invalid, confined to a w/c. They were close friends of a nascar driver that had recently been murdered. The alarm went off and reset several times.
I saw my neighbors pick-up going down the street like a bat outa hell! After 2nd alarm went off!
Something seemed very odd to me. So, I got my shotgun,went thru the bushes etc with binoculars, saw nothing. Unable to call husband at job sites, they changed all the time. I phoned the sheriff. They came out alright! I also phoned his daughter's, no answers.

The service was able to find a daughter, that was concerned and went to the house. She walked into the open door and found several police officer's walking inside with their guns out!

A small critter chewed the wires! And his pick-up was being driven by another neighbor, that was bringing it back from a repair place. Everyone, lived on 5 acres plus. So, not to close physically. I seldom lock doors. Had mine knocked out 25 years ago, cost $1000.00 to have it fixed the next day, pretty costly. If they want in, they will! And the cops found a house key when they search their big boat!

Now, I live near a home with many barking dogs, no one likes, they keep us up endless hours. I overheard someone saying they planned on doing something to the dogs. But, the camera's created a big problem! They had the camera's in and told everyone and it spread. I personally, do not think they have anything! Camera's cannot be seen from outside! Plus, I was walking my dog and he came out and said, "I saw a flashlight and thought I'd check it out!" Meaning, it must not work at night or does not exist. Either way, it is effective!
painretreat Reviewed by painretreat on . Home Security System My wife would like to have a home security system installed to give her peace of mind when she's at home alone at night. Also, i suppose it'd be nice to have a bit of a lock down when we're away. I've done some searching and found pros and cons concerning Home Security Systems and Indoor Grow Rooms. What do you all think about it? is it a bad idea? If the alarm goes off...and we aren't home...will the cops search the whole house and find my shit? that's definitely no good. Is there a Rating: 5
