Having a home security system is a step toward protecting the home and family and there are many gadgets that can also be added to a home security system to help it work more efficiently and to warn off burglars.

The first of these are the door locks with keyless entry, many of these work with a thumb print and are run using the home computer. When using this door lock there will be no reason for anyone in the family or anyone that has a reason to enter the home to have keys that can be lost. It also means there are no locks to risk having picked by burglars and because this type of lock is opened by the thumbprint it is easy to program. Programming can include non-family members that will also be easily taken out of the system when they no longer have a reason to be in the home. During the time this non-family member is coming into the home the door lock can be programmed to only open for their thumbprint during certain hours and certain days.

This is a real benefit for home security; no lost keys and anyone that does not belong in the home can be taken out of the system, this means times when no one can be at home for the repair man he could be put into the thumbprint system and when the job is complete taken out of the system. Which means no house keys are given out to strangers working in the home, it also means no leaving the key hidden anywhere outside of the home for this person.

Another aid to the home security system is the digital cameras known as nanny cams and outside cameras. These can be used to make the home more secure and to watch what goes on in the home on the computer. This is a comfort when the family is away on vacation, when the children are home with a sitter or older children are home after school. It’s a way of ensuring the home and the children are safe with the use of a home or work computer. The outside cameras can watch the movement of anyone outside the home and it can identify a burglar who leaves the home without breaking in due to the home security measures the homeowner has taken. This is a real advantage to make a homeowner make sure their family is secure. These watched by the police can help them to arrest this person before they can harm an unsuspecting family who is not protected by a home security system.

When a homeowner uses these gadgets to help their home security system to protect their home and family they reduce the threat of home break-ins even further than the home security system alone. Every family wants to be as safe and secure in their home as possible and this is what a keyless door lock can do and what digital cameras can do located inside and outside the home, which can be controlled by the home or work computer.
