House anti -burglar protection - how to discourage the burglar?
Czego dowiesz się z artykułu?Przeczytaj
House burglaries are a real scourge, especially in the summer, when many people go on vacation, leaving properties unattended.However, you can take a number of actions that will effectively scare criminals from our belongings, or at least make them difficult to "work".
House anti -burglar protection: Important location of the property
It is worth thinking about safety at the stage of choosing a place to the house.The properties located in a remote area are more exposed to burglary, with several access roads, surrounded by a dense row of trees.Houses located on the asphalt road, among dense buildings, are a much bigger challenge for burglars.
When deciding on a specific location, it is worth checking whether in the place we choose, there are often similar crimes, whether the road where our house will be located is well lit and what is in the back of the plot where we will build.It is worth knowing if it borders with another single -family house, or maybe with a dirt or service road, which you can drive away by car, which increases the risk of hacking.
Let's also contact the Local Security Agency, asking how long it will take them to get to our house after activating the alarm system.More and more towns are investing in monitoring systems.It is worth asking in the commune whether in the place where we intend to settle such a system works, and if not, is it planned in the future.

A thoughtful fence is really the first barrier to eliminate not only small thieves, but also less determined burglars.When designing them and then building them, you often have to compromise between safety and intimacy.The full fence will provide us with comfort, making us not visible from the road and avoid the curious looks of the neighbors.On the other hand, with such a fence, the burglaw rushing on the property will be equally invisible from the outside.The transparent fence, in turn, may not provide such freedom, but this also applies to a burglar who will be clearly visible at any time of the day or night.
The anti -burglary barrier can also be the construction of the fence itself - on a smooth wall or placed parallel to each other, narrow metal rods is extremely difficult to enter even an efficient, young man.A similar design, preventing the impulsion without the use of a ladder, should also have an entrance gate and a gate.Let's make sure that they are equipped with resistant to balancing hinges.A good idea will be a gate open to automatically, which is more difficult to beat.Besides, it is safer because when opening or closing it, you do not need to leave the car.Often, criminals use this moment to steal a car or to invade the property.
If the fence is founded on the foundation, then no one will undermine it.Let's also try to avoid an ordinary galvanized mesh, which can be easily and quickly cut with metal shears.Additional protection against overcoming the fence may be a sharp ending.It is worth remembering that they are allowed to place at a height of not less than 1.8 m.
A fence that is not higher than 2.2 m and does not play the role of a retaining wall does not even require a notification.However, if you want to build a higher fence, you should report this intention to the poviat starosty.As for the shape, colors and construction of the fence itself, it is worth asking in the Municipal Department of Spatial Planning about possible conditions for fences contained in the local development plan, if, of course, in a given area such a plan applies (e.g..to what extent can it be full, to what openwork).Many local governments are also in the process of developing the so -called.landscape resolutions, determining fence parameters in a given area, which is also worth keeping in mind when planning a fence structure.
Wybór ogrodzenia w dużej mierze zależy od tego, w jakiej okolicy mieszkamy. Musimy zdecydować, czy potrzebna jest nam szczelna zapora chroniąca przed hałasem i kurzem z ulicy, czy może lepsze będzie ogrodzenie ażurowe. (fot.

Niektóre bramy tak wtapiają się w ogrodzenie, że trudno je dostrzec. (fot. Polbram)House anti -burglar protection: Install the intercom or video
Important devices that allow you to control who and for what purpose wants to get to our property are the intercom or video intercom, available in a wired or wireless version.The intercom is much cheaper and allows you to make voice contact with the entrepreneur.The person standing in front of the gate presents himself to the gate, and we on the uniphon - after identification - slow down the electromagnetic lock, letting the guest inside.
The intercom will be sufficient if we decide on an openwork gate, which is more or less opposite the entrance to the house and is visible.A more advanced device is a video intercom that can have a lot of other, very useful applications.Many mounted on the post between the gate and the gate of external panels have the function of registration of both the image and sound (they can also be combined with supervisory cameras, from which the image is transmitted to the internal display).
Recording usually turns on after pressing the bell, but there are also devices that react immediately to movement in front of the property.The saved image and sound for a certain time (usually from a few to several days) are in the memory of the video intercom.It matters so much that burglars often do a reconnaissance first - calling who is at home and at what times, but also encircle the property looking for a place where it is easiest to get inside.Image registration may later facilitate the police identification of the criminal.
The image of the person entering the property is also displayed live on an internal, colorful LED panel with volume, brightness and contrast.Today, such devices are mostly portable, so we can easily take them to the room where we are currently staying.Some videodomophones also have the ability to redirect the image and sound from the braophone in front of the gate to the indicated mobile phone.Thanks to this, you can talk to a postman or courier even when we are outside the home.Prices of the simplest intercoms start from around PLN 50, and video intercoms from PLN 350.

An efficient alarm installation is an effective weapon in the fight against burglars.The alarm signal is usually transmitted to a security company that intervenes.The first zone in which we can place such a system is the fence.There are several types of detectors that react to an attempt to cross the border of our property.The most popular are probably sensor cables, placed on the fence or buried along it, which detect attempts to cut the fence, deviate it or overcome it with top.
Vibration (seismic) detectors are placed on stable structural elements or underground along the cable, which transmits the signal to the system headquarters.They react to shocks, triggered when pushing the fence.This type of detectors will work well away from the road, because cars passing nearby also generate strong shocks, which can cause false alarms.
Along the fence you can also arrange the optical fiber.Interrupting it or bending changes the beam of light flowing inside, which in turn activates the alarm.The optical fiber can be built into the fence or placed on its top (it is often hidden in the tape or barbed wire).Another solution is the impedance system - the detectors arranged in the fence measure its resistance.A change in resistance between two detectors attach the alarm.
The second property protection zone runs between the fence and the residential building.Here, alarm detectors can be mounted either on or under the surface of the earth.Underground, an impedance system can be installed.The cables forming the protection zone can be placed even under a hardened surface.Resistance changes are analyzed by a specialized program, which - as soon as it detects the threat - activates the alarm system.
Microwave barriers (or infrared barriers) are another solution, which send rays.Their disturbance, caused by the passage of the intruder, causes the alarm to switch on.Unfortunately, this system does not work perfectly and sometimes the alarm can activate e.g..pets, flying birds or leaves falling from trees.A certain limitation is that it can only be used in open spaces.
House anti -burglar protection: Important home and property lighting
A large number of lamps around the house will undoubtedly depress burglars, because when approaching the building they will be perfectly visible.It is worth lighting the light at night in front of the entrance gate and a gate, along the pavements and paths, in front of the front door, near the garage, at the back of the house and in the vicinity of the terrace.We can get an intelligent lighting control system with a dusk sensor and the ability to alternately switching on and off individual lamps when we are outside (so -called.simulation of the presence of household members).Such a system also allows you to control the lighting at a distance using a laptop or a mobile phone.
Another, much cheaper solution is to combine lamps and motion detectors, which will minimize energy consumption.However, such detectors may be irritating in some cases, because it is able to activate them not only man, but also a bird or a cat.When the light suddenly lights up in the vicinity of the house, it may arouse unnecessary anxiety in the household.Motion detectors can also be configured with a garden irrigation system.Activating sensors will start the sprinkles, which may surprise you and, consequently, scare the intruder.
Automatyka to dziś właściwie norma. Najlepiej więc od razu kupić bramę obsługiwaną za pomocą pilota. Taka opcja najbardziej się opłaca i daje pewność, że moc napędu czy rodzaj siłowników są właściwie dobrane. (fot.

Other "repellent" are mounted cammeruction dummy around the building (some even change the location) with imitating recording, red diodes flashing in red.Such devices can be obtained for a dozen or so zlotys.Professional burglars, of course, this will not discourage, but amateurs at the sight of them may be a bit confused.Of course, you can also invest in real cameras.There are many companies on the market offering them together with assembly and later technical service.In the case of a single -family house, a monitoring system consisting of four cameras seems enough.
It is worth buying color cameras working in HD resolution (the better the image, the easier to identify the potential intruder later) with the function of switching to black and white mode, which is recommended for use at night.The system is supplemented with a recorder equipped with a hard disk and cabling.Companies dealing with the sale of this type of accessories often offer ready sets.Prices are very different and can be from PLN 800 (set with four cameras) to even PLN 5,000.A lot depends on the quality of the equipment.The recorded image is usually stored on the disk for no more than 3 weeks, which seems to be quite sufficient.
It is worth ensuring that the image from the cameras is also transmitted to a mobile device, thanks to which being on vacation or at work we will be able to conduct a permanent preview of our home.Of course, you have to be aware that the camera system is not sufficient protection against burglars, who often put hoods or balaclavas on the head.However, this is another element, depressing them and hindering them a crime.

In the past, the basic protection of the building against the thief was a dog.Now, however, using him as a guard is risky, because burglars are often ruthless and have various types of accessories that can at best sleep, and at the worst deprive of the life of our beloved quadruped.
The institution of a helpful, alert neighbor did not lose its meaning.The police emphasize that this is still one of the best security against burglars.Such a person can remove advertising leaflets and leaflets from the box during our absence, light around the house of light at night, and at the day to go around the property from time to time, checking if nobody around it is spinning around it.
We secure the house against burglary
When leaving the house, let's close all doors and windows carefully, turn on the alarm system and turn off the electrical circuit, providing electricity outside the building.There have already been cases that the thieves connected the drills to the outer sockets, which reworked the locks in the door.Let's also remember that the fewer people know about our trip, the better.It is certainly not worth bragging on social networks, which burglars often use as one of the best sources of information.
