Home Security: Alarms, Sensors and Systems

Every reason now exists to make homes more secure: the crime rate is increasing, insurance companies are insisting on adequate protection, and more householders are improving home security, so criminals are seeking out the easier jobs. This book provides practical, independent guidance, shows how burglars work, and how to thwart them and offers jargon-free descriptions of selection and installation of alarm systems. This book explains the pros and cons of alarm systems, including how to avoid faults, and find them if they occur.
