HOME SECURITY SIGN - A CHEAP DETERRENT

Welcome to the Home Security Sign Page. Security signs are a very cheap and simple deterrent which can be quickly put to work in the residential environment

The use of a home security sign is a vital part of your home security strategy, and can be used in two ways. Firstly, it will alert a potential intruder or someone just check your home out for vulnerability that you have a security system installed and it would pay for them not to attempt an intrusion.

Alternatively, if a home security system is not an option for you due to monetary constraints or if you are in a rental property, a home security yard sign can indicate to criminals that you have a system even if you do not. This alone will deter all but the most experienced, or stupid would be burglars. One glimpse of your home security sticker or sign will send them on their way, unfortunately to find someone who has not had the idea of using such a cheap, but valuable deterrent.

Home Security Yard Sign

Placement

So, where does experience and research tell us is the best location for home security signs or security decals?

The first thing is that any security yard sign MUST be clearly visible from all likely entry points. One sign is generally insufficient, although many burglars do gain access by walking staright up the front path, so as not to draw undue attention to themselves. Some good places for a home security sign include:

• All Exterior Doors
• Front Curb
• Garage and Outbuilding Doors
• Flower Beds Along the Main Access Points

Telling potential intruders that they are being watched or recorded, and that any attempt to enter the property will result in law enforcement agencies being automatically alerted is usually enough to prevent any attempt at a break-in.

There are a number of other additions to your home security sign strategy which will increase your protection. Home Security Window Decal and dummy surveillance cameras can all help even if you have no working security system installed.

When the cost of a home security sign and decal only amounts to a few dollars, it is simply madness to not take these basic measures to secure your home. All these items can be bought cheaply online and will provide many years of service. If you are in a rental property you can take them with you when you leave, and protect your new home. 

We hope this has given you some ideas on use of a home security sign as part of your home security plan. Thanks for visiting.
