Security lighting a deterrent to thieves

Security lighting is here for your safety. To understand the usefulness of security lighting and cameras,imagine you are a burglar. It is after dark, you are on a residential street and trying to decide which home looks most vulnerable. Even if you only want to steal something small, you still want to get in, find it and get out with a minimum of exposure.And if you want to make off with, say, a big-screen TV or some other very large item, you will want to pull your vehicle into the driveway so that you do not have to carry it in your arms any more than necessary.

There are many houses on this block. Chances are you are not going to pick the one where the grounds are fully lit and there are no pools of shadow in which to hide. And if there are enough houses with good security lighting, you might just pick a different street.

Setting up security lighting and cameras

Good security lighting creates an even light over your property. It should be pointed away from your house, high enough to be out of reach of vandals. In addition, it should not create any glare that would be a problem from the vantage point of someone inside the house itself.

Security cameras also help deter intruders, especially when there are signs out front letting everyone know the cameras are there and watching. To set up a security camera system, begin with a diagram of your property. Aim the cameras at doors, driveways, porches and windows that do not face the street. Make sure that knocking out one camera will not leave any part of your home unguarded. Then decide where you want the images from the cameras to go to and be stored.
