You cannot go without a proper security system in your house or office anymore. The crime rate in South Africa is amongst the highest in the world. Even if you feel that you live in a very safe suburb or neighbourhood with booms and all the rest of it, it does not mean that you can leave your house or your car unprotected.
Having a security system installed in your house is of the utmost importance. This includes having sensors in all the major rooms of the house and panic buttons in easily accessible places. Sensors are usually installed together with the alarm system. You can also have an alarm system installed on the outside of your house which will then alert you to any intruder trying to get onto your property. Having an electric fence around your property is a good idea but remember that it is not fool proof as many criminals have mastered the art of cutting through these types of fences.
If you have a laser beam system installed on your property that works together with your alarm system, you will have more peace of mind. Even if someone manages to get through your electric fencing, it is unlikely that they will be able to avoid getting caught by the laser beam that is inside the alarm system that you install on your property. The laser works a lot like the sensor that is inside the house. It catches activity and then sends a silent alarm to the armed response company associated with your alarm system.
You should also have an alarm system, anti-hijacking system and a panic button in your car. It is not safe to drive on our roads anymore whether you are alone or not and whether you are driving in the day or night. Criminals are always inventing new ways of taking your possessions from you especially your car. So if you are in a potential hijacking situation, a panic button could save your life. It sends a signal directly to the armed response company or the police and they will immediately send a vehicle to help.
