Home Security Systems: A Better Option Than “get Out Of My House!” By Roger Weaver Statistics show that violent crimes and robberies are often times committed by people who are already known to the victim. This is particularly true of violent crime, which could encompass everything from assault to domestic abuse. Indeed, there are many untrustworthy people in the world. There are people that may seem kind on the surface but who may be planning to do you harm, whether that is emotional or even physical harm.
It’s relatively easy to yell at someone who is overstepping his or her bounds as a friendly acquaintance. You can demand that they get out of your house. Legally speaking, you have the right to determine who can enter or stay inside your home. Just because you have invited someone inside in a spirit of kindness, does not mean that they have the right to do anything objectionable or even say anything that would offend you. In fact, when it comes to the law, you have the right to demand that any visitor leave the house, regardless of the reason. A visitor should respect the fact that while he or she is inside your house, you determine the law as to what is appropriate.
However, once dealings have gone bad how do you get rid of an unwanted guest? While some visitors will respect your authority, others may not—especially if strong, personal emotions are involved. A fight could break out or the visitor may even try to assault you. What would you do in such a scenario? You could try to call the police though you would need quick access to a phone so that you could dial 911.
What if you are infirm, elderly or don’t have the physical strength to forcibly remove someone from your home?
An ADT home security system may be the answer. Not only does a home security system equip with you protection against outside intruders (courtesy of motion detector technology); you also have access to a panic button that you can press for direct contact to a live monitoring service. This is ideal if an untraceable emergency should ever occur. You simply press the button on the digital keypad or on a key chain remote. Within one second, you will alert the ADT Company and local law enforcement.
This will let your offending guest know that you mean business. Most individuals, even if they are angry or abusive, will not risk a brush with the law if they know the authorities can be summoned immediately. This is the best means of protection you can buy, even safer than purchasing a gun. If you buy a gun you have to learn how to load it, how to safely aim it and how you must legally use it in self-defense. You will be faced with the responsibility of protecting your family from the gun’s potentially deadly effects, as well as killing an intruder directly.
For many individuals the responsibility is too much. They would much prefer that a professional security company would watch over them, providing 24-7 support, including direct contact with an operator and local authorities for police, fire and medical support. An ADT alarm system is the safest way to help provide home protection!
ADT security systems are the leading residential security systems in the U.S.
