The difference between detection and prevention in home security lies in their approaches to handling potential threats.

Detection is reactive—it tells you something is wrong, allowing you to take action after the fact. For example, a security camera might record footage of an intruder, or an alarm might sound when a window is opened.

Prevention is proactive—it strengthens your home’s defenses to deter criminals. Examples include installing steel security screen doors and windows and using reinforced locks.

While detection is very useful and helps you respond to security breaches, prevention is key to reducing the likelihood of those breaches happening in the first place.

Your home's doors and windows are equally important to secure! Below are a few tips on how to do this.

You can burglar-proof your glass patio doors by placing a pipe, wooden bar, or metal bar in the middle bottom track of the door slide. The pipe or bar should be the same length as the track.

One of the easiest ways a thief can break into your home is if they get their hands on a spare key to your front door. An experienced thief knows exactly where to look, that is why it's best to store them inside a combination lockbox.

You also want to make sure you secure any windows that are near a door. All of your door security is rendered useless if a thief can break a window, reach inside, and unlock your door.

We hope you're able to put these tips to use and on your way to feeling safer in your home!

A very common point of entry for a thief is through a window. It is very important that your windows are secured!

The first step you need to do is a security inspection of all your windows, especially on the first floor.

Check for any windows that are old, any cracked window frames, or anything else like this that creates a weakness that a potential burglar can take advantage of.

Also consider upgrading any locking systems your windows have. Thieves want to be in and out as quickly as possible, so if you can slow them down, they might give up and leave rather than keep trying.

When you first move into a new neighborhood it could feel unfamiliar and it may be hard at first to feel safe. To get over these feelings, walk around the neighborhood, introduce yourself to your neighbors, and get to know them. Then you can keep an eye on each others properties when out of town or even just running errands. This helps you to feel less alienated and gives you an added level of protection and support from your neighbors. Keep your peace of mind even in a new home!
