Efficient Wiring For Home Security Systems

Comments Disabled

Home security systems can become a jumbled array of different cameras, sensors and alarms. Along with each piece of equipment is some kind of wiring, usually power, but video and audio in some cases too. It all amounts to a large amount of wires that need to be organised somehow throughout the home. One way of doing just this is with an integrated home network.

An integrated home network consolidates all your wiring. Instead of many separate wires all daisy-chained through your walls, a network puts everything you need in a single, central hub. Wire then runs directly from this hub to each room, where modular outlets provide access to services.

Newly introduced wireless networking products can connect computers, cameras, or other devices, as can kits that use the existing electrical or telephone wiring in your house. Neither of these solutions, however, supports the connecting speeds of a hardwired, dedicated network.

The Best Security Measure On The Planet

Comments Disabled

There are thousands of security products available. Night vision cameras, trip wires, automated security lights, security glass, alarms, there is no end to the physical tools you can use for security.

However there is another simple security measure that you can’t buy. It’s not physical either, but mental. This is the ability to simply use your human awareness.

Companies  can spend exorbitant amounts of money on security. But simply being aware and tuning your innate human senses can be one of the best security defences on the planet.

Often times security tools are bought with the intention of giving the owner ‘peace of mind’. While it can be a good thing, to allow tools to handle jobs for us, it can also make us mentally lazy.

Buying security tools can make us humans put things into the backs of our minds. If by chance something does actually happen and a security system works, it can shock people as they don’t expect it. Evidence that the security tool is taking the place of normal brain power.
