Protecting your home and family should be high on your list of priorities. This article will cover 3 ultimate security devices for keeping your family safe, including: GPS tracking devices, alarm systems and home surveillance equipment.

GPS Tracking Devices
Nowadays, you can track just about any object you can slap a GPS transmitter on — cars, bikes, motorcycles, kids, dogs, you name it. If you want to protect your car in case it’s stolen, just install a tracking device in the trunk. Worried about your newly licensed teen driver? There are GPS devices out there — some that can be linked to your cell phones — that will monitor his or her speed and location (and even alert you when the car enters an unapproved location). You can also mount a camera on the dashboard that will allow you to monitor your teen’s every move while he or she is in the car. And don’t forget about Fido — the dog can even get in on the act when you attach a tiny GPS monitor to his collar. Source: Electronics.howstuffworks

Alarm Systems
Alarm systems definitely have a place in a home security plan and are effective, if used properly. The reason why alarms systems deter burglaries is because they increase the potential and fear of being caught and arrested by the police. The deterrent value comes from the alarm company lawn sign and from the alarm decals on the windows. Home and apartment burglars will usually bypass a property with visible alarm signs and will go to another property without such a sign. Some people, with alarm systems, feel that these signs and decals are unsightly and will not display them. The risk here is that an uninformed burglar might break a window or door and grab a few quick items before the police can respond. Also, don’t write your alarm passcode on or near the alarm keypad.

Home Surveillance Equipment
Beyond having an alarm sound, being able to do surveillance of your home and property could add a benefit to your security. If you want to install your own equipment, it’s not difficult to do, or you can hire a home security company to do it for you.
If you take the DIY approach, you’ll need to mount a few wireless cameras in strategic places, and connect to them with your computer network. That way, you’ll be able to watch what’s happening at and around your home from anywhere with an Internet connection. Source: AlarmRelay
