Theft-proof your home while you're out having fun

Posted : March 24, 2011

It's summer time once again, the perfect season for planning vacations and short out-of-town trips.

Thinking of strolling on the beach or hiking up the mountains to rejuvenate your mind and body? Make these vacations stress- and worry-free with the latest home alarms, sensors and security systems. New intruder alarms and sensors, electronic locks and surveillance cameras will let you leave the house for several days, and enjoy it too.

RFID lock

Your first line of defense is, of course, your door. With more burglaries occurring without signs of forced entry, doors have to be secured with the most advanced technologies. Sun Castle Global Precision Technology Co. Ltd recommends this RFID lock with intelligent auto-locking and card memory functions. Made of solid brass faceplate, it is water- and fire-resistant and adopts the Mifare 13.56MHz platform.

Door/window sensor

If the intruder fails to break down the door, his next stop is your window. With Power View Industrial Ltd's magnetic door/window sensor, you can delay entry or prevent intrusion altogether. This sensor operates on 433MHz RF and three channels. It sounds an alarm for 20 seconds, long enough to arouse attention from neighbors and patrolling authorities.

GSM alarm system

It's smart to surround your property with an alarm system that can contact you any time. This GSM alarm system from Shenzhen Chitongda Electronic Co. Ltd supports seven wired and 99 wireless defense zones. It has an LCD screen with time clock display and a voice prompt for the main unit and remote operations. It doubles as a telephone and intercom system and will send you alerts via GSM.

Wireless intruder alarm

You can arm this 40-zone wireless intruder alarm from Climax Technology Co. Ltd in four modes: away, home, day and night. Each has its unique alert and security level. The system supports quadband GSM/GPRS communication and can inform you of an attempted break-in. Its six vesta cameras capture important images that you can request remotely via MMS and FTP. You can also activate the system while you're away.

Integrated CCTV system

Who says you can't have a complete surveillance set at home? Shenzhen Zhongben Security Electronic Co. Ltd offers this camera-monitor-DVR system that records images and videos in D1 resolution. Four cameras can monitor the critical parts of your house and yard and a 1GB SATA HDD stores recorded pictures and footages. The system supports 3G mobile surveillance.

Table clock hidden camera

In case unwanted visitors still manage to break into your home, this hidden camera from Eyesun Technology Co. Ltd has a motion sensor that can detect movements inside the house and trigger the automatic surveillance system. Your burglar will never know that the innocent-looking table clock is watching him and may even be recording his every move.
