Home security systems

[Nolefan23]

Don't know why this is - but since I was a young kid I've always had this deal with worrying about my house getting broke into in the middle of the night. Now that I have a small child it is even worse. I'll wake up to any small noise and immediately investigate. All I have are door alarms that I turn on before bed that sound if the door is open.

Anyone have security systems and recommend one? Anyone recommend me to just chill out?

Where do you live where this is such a big issue? Get a dog.

I don't have children yet but imagine I will behave similar to you when I do. We have an alarm system that reports on doors and windows with a local company handling the administration. They respond quickly when I've had too much to drink and forget that I already set the alarm. So, pretty much every weekend.

Don't criminals generally break into houses when no one is home? If my intent is to steal stuff, I wouldn't want the hassle of sneaking around trying not to wake people up - rather, I'd just wait until they go to work / school, and make as much noise as I wanted.

Agree with above - if you're worried about someone breaking in while you're there, get a dog. They'll let you know if someone breaks in, so you can worry about sleeping.

Are you a drug dealer? Seems like most home invasions happen to people who are, because the invaders want one of two things: 1) drugs, or 2) money for drugs. Both are typically found in drug houses.

So either stop dealing drugs, or chill out.

Home invasions don't happen to unoccupied homes.
