Protecting your home, your valuables, and your family is no doubt at the top of your priority list. As such, you probably have questions about which is better: a high-tech home security system, or high-quality window and door hardware. For those who want to be as secure as possible, a combination of both may be ideal.
Quality Window & Door Hardware Matters
Â
Replacing window and door hardware that is designed to keep unwanted intruders out with a high-tech home security system is not recommended. Rather than replacement, a home security system should be a supplemental addition.
The right hardware does more than just act as a basic lock; rather, advanced lock systems on doors may be stronger than deadbolts, lock out intruders (even those that have a key) with the touch of a button, and be reinforced with strike plates and security pins. Windows can also have advanced locking systems, and security windows that are burglarproof are also available.
The Benefits of a High-Tech Home Security System
Â
However, the benefits of a high-tech home security system should not be overlooked; a high-tech home security system can provide video surveillance, electronic access control, sound alarms when a break-in does occur, and notify emergency personnel. The most high-tech home security systems will provide surveillance of your entire property, so you can always see what is going on and know in advance if a threat is approaching.
For those who live in risky areas, have high-asset properties and valuables, or are concerned about security for other reasons, investing in both quality door and window hardware and an advanced home security system is recommended.
