There are three things that burglars don’t really care for; lights, noise and time. They like to do their work in darkness so if you have outdoor security lighting they don’t like that. They like to get in and out of a home in five or 10 minutes so the more obstacles you can put in their way to slow that down the better off you are. And third thing is noise. That’s where burglar alarms come in.

And the most popular alarms are motion activated alarms that sound loud noises when the protected area is violated.

One of the most popular motion activated alarms is the Electronic Watchdog or better known as the barking dog alarm. It can protect an area up to 20 feet away through doors, glass and other obstacles because it uses radar wave technology. When movement is detected the sound of an angry barking dog starts

Get A Barking Guard Dog-Safety Tip Of The Week

click for more info

Well, okay I know not all of you will go out and get a guard dog or even a dog that barks. It just isn’t going to happen. But the fact of the matter is that the sound of a barking dog is one of the best deterrents against home burglary or home invasion for that matter. If you don’t believe me just call your local police station and ask them.

They will tell you, without qualification, that the sound of a barking dog is the best deterrent against home burglary.

Home burglary happens in one out of six homes every year. Home burglary happens every 15 seconds. Do you really want to take your chances? Or do you want to be proactive and do something to protect your home?

Now the dilemma! You want to do something but don’t like dogs. And you’re not getting get one! I can relate to that.

How about getting one of the most effective home security products on the market-THE ELECTRONIC WATCHDOG?

Sometimes it is called the Barking Dog Alarm. When it is plugged in it protects an area in a one hundred degree triangle up to as much as 20 feet away. The electronic radar wave sense control “sees” through wood, cement, brick and glass. If an intruder enters that area the sound of an angry barking dog starts. The volume and radar sensitivity are both adjustable. It can be used in commercial applications too.

There is a remote control that allows you to arm or disarm the system as well as set off a panic alarm.

So get a barking dog-better yet, get the bark without the dog.

Home Security:Wireless Alarms-Three Of The Best

With all break-ins that occur in homes around the country, it is no wonder why alarms and particularly wireless alarms are so popular. When it comes to home security and home security devices, a wireless alarm and wireless alarm systems are some of the most reliable and inexpensive home security alarms. Here are three of the best.

The first is the electronic watchdog. I think everybody knows how effective a watchdog is. But not everybody wants a watch dog and I can certainly understand that. With the electronic watchdog you get the best both worlds. It is a device which, when it is connected, protects an area up to 20 feet away through solid objects like doors and walls. Police will tell you that a barking dog is the best way to deter a burglar. Even burglars will tell you that when they hear a dog barking in the house they stay away. That’s what makes the barking dog alarm or the electronic watchdog one of the most effective wireless alarms in the world. The volume of the barking dog sound and the sensitivity are both adjustable. A remote control can arm/disarm the unit. Just make sure when you’re using it in your home that you stay away from the protected area so you don’t accidentally set it off.

Next, the eight piece home security alarm system is one of the more effective wireless alarms. It is a do-it-yourself home security alarm that provides the same level of security as a professionally installed system costing much more. It protects your home using a motion detector alarm that can detect motion from up to 30 feet away and two sensors for windows that can be used in conjunction with two magnetic contact sensors. Once motion is detected, a loud alarm and a blinding strobe light go off. The remote control can arm and disarm the system.

And last but not least is the Voice Alert System. This features a base unit and up to six sensors/transmitters that can operate up to 1000 feet away in open space and 300 feet away through walls. Once motion is detected by the sensor, a prerecorded message for that area is played on the base unit located in the house. The voice alert system is really geared for outdoor use. The sensors/transmitters are completely weatherproof. They can protect a huge area even if you only get two or three of the sensors.

You can check all of our other Wireless Alarm Systemsto see if one of them would be good for your home.

Home Security-Professional Burglar Tips On Burglary Prevention

It is no secret that the best way to learn something is to learn from the best. It doesn’t matter what you’re learning-a new skill, a new language, a new job-absolutely anything. Always try and learn that skill from someone who really knows what they’re doing.

In this case we are talking about burglary prevention as part of home security. And who better to learn it from than a professional burglar. Recently, a man who was believed to have done as many as 70 home burglaries made a list of tips to prevent burglary for police to pass on to home owners. He was caught in the United Kingdom but the principles are the same here.

Here are some statistics that might get your attention. One out of every six homes is burglarized. A burglary happens every 15 seconds. The value of goods stolen from a home in the average home burglary is over $1700 with an average of another $1700 in damage done to the home during the burglary.

So it’s much better to prevent home burglary in the first place. The old idea of an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure really holds true for home burglary.

Here are some of the burglary prevention tips that he gave so homeowners could avoid being burglarized.

First, he never used force to gain entry into a house. And why should he? Here in the United States close to 90% of all burglaries happen through unlocked doors or windows. So lock your doors and windows, even if you are home.

Second, he suggested getting a dog or at least a sign warning of a dog. He told police that burglars will not risk entry into a house if they hear a barking dog. Maybe that’s where the Barking Dog Alarm could come in handy.

Third, he suggested getting an alarm. This professional burglar said he would never enter a home that’s got an alarm.

Fourth he said to leave the lights on when away from the house. He told police that he always avoided well lit homes. He suggested to homeowners that motion activated spotlights or motion activated lights were a great idea.

Next, he told police that a security camera, even a fake one, was enough to make burglars choose another house.

As a final tip, he indicated that he always avoided walkways, driveways, patios that were pebbled because walking across them was always very noisy and gave him away.

These are outstanding home security tips from someone who really knows what he is talking about. If you implemented these home security measures, you could prevent burglaries and make your home and your family much safer. Burglary prevention tips from a pro really help.

Home Invasion-Saved By The Dog

Last week there was what seemed like an unbelievable story in the news about a couple that rescued a dog and then a few hours later the dog saved a couple. Here is the WHOLE STORY in case you missed it.

It just happened to be a St. Bernard-my favorite breed of dog.

The burglar had cut the phone lines into the house and was getting ready to get into the house when all of a sudden the dog chased the burglar out of the yard. The couple only had the dog for a few hours before he turned the tables and rescued them from a home invasion that could have been ugly.

Story shows in real-life terms how effective having a dog can be to protect your home. A lot of people don’t want to be bothered with all the trouble dog ownership presents feeding, walking, cleaning up, etc. you know what I mean.

That’s where the Electronic Watchdog comes in. It is one of the most effective home security alarms there is. Just plug it in and aim it in the direction you want to protect. It covers a one hundred degree field of view up to 20 feet away. If anyone enters that protected area the sound of an angry barking dog starts. Don’t mess with a barking dog!

Home Security-Barking Dog Alarm-Bark And Growl Without The Bite

Dogs are second only to cats in terms of popularity for household pets. Many people own dogs as companions when they get older or as “seeing eye” dogs. Their value, for many, is priceless. People own dogs for other reasons as well. There isn’t a SWAT team in the country that doesn’t have a canine unit. Almost all military bases have canine units too. As friendly as people want their dogs to be, for many, dogs are feared animals and with good reason. Watchdogs are highly valued animals.

For years I had a dog as a pet, not necessarily for me, but for my kids. It was almost one of those yuppie ‘had to have one’ kind of things. I wouldn’t have a dog now for all the money in the world. I have no need for a guard dog and my companion is a very nice two legged variety thank you.

Many people feel the same way. They don’t want the hassle associated with having a dog, but they like the idea of having the sounds of a barking, growling dog as a deterrent to home burglary and home invasion.

Last week in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio a burglar managed to sneak into a home while the household dog was sleeping. The burglar made enough noise to wake up the dog that growled and barked the burglar right out the door. A neighbor saw the burglar running away and called police who later caught the guy. He had to admit he was scared to death of the dog. A local police officer was asked recently for his opinion on the most effective deterrent to home burglary. His answer was a barking dog.

That scene and scenes similar to it are repeated every day throughout the country. It is a testament to the effectiveness of having a growling, barking dog. However for a lot of very good reasons folks don’t want to have a dog.

Now there is a compromise that allows you to get the bark and angry growl of a dog without all the downside of having to walk it, feed it and clean up after it. It is called the electronic watchdog or as some people call it, the Barking Dog Alarm.

It uses the same technology as radar to detect motion up to twenty feet away. If motion is detected in the hundred degree arc of protection sounds of an angry, growling, barking dog start. The volume of the barking and distance are both adjustable. An additional sensor can be hooked up to broaden the protected area. For business owners an alarm or chime can sound to announce visitors to a retail store.

The barking dog alarm can help with home security as an effective home security alarm.

When you need to protect your home or your warehouse get the Barking Dog Alarm.

What Is The Best Home Security Alarm?

Did you know that the value of goods stolen in a home burglary and the damage done to the home in that process totals nearly $3500.00? The average burglar is in the home for 5 minutes or less. You can do the math on that. The average shows $42,000 an hour. That’s an awful lot of money for a few minutes work. And the psychological damage that’s done to the family of victims in a home burglary is substantial, something that’s not easily overcome and quite frankly never goes away.

Nearly one out of every six homes every year is burglarized. When there is so much at stake with so much to lose, why is it that most people don’t take any precautions in installing a home security alarm? It has always baffled me why more people have an alarm for their car, but not for their home.

So I think you would agree there’s an awful lot at stake in protecting your home. When you finally decide that you need a home security alarm, you will start looking in hardware stores, in the big box lumber yards and any other place you can think of that might sell home security alarms.

You’ll soon find out that there hundreds if not thousands of choices out there from many manufacturers. It just so happens that the most effective security alarm out there is found on the Internet. It is called the Electronic Watchdog or the barking dog alarm. It has been proven time and time again to be the most effective and one of the least expensive home security alarms that you can get.

Many years ago when my home was broken into I asked the police officer who was investigating what his recommendation was. He said a loud barking dog is the best way to deter burglars.

This home security alarm uses electronic radar wave-sense technology to detect movement up to 20 feet away in a 100° area. Once movement is detected the sound of a growling, barking dog begins. Both the volume of the barking and radar sensitivity is adjustable.

If you have ever been confronted with a barking, growling dog you know how intimidating that can be. Most people, burglars included, don’t want to have anything to with a barking dog. That’s why this home alarm is so effective.

The barking dog alarm not only is the most effective home alarm for home security it is extremely effective for garage, small business, warehouses and more. Small businesses use the alternative chime to announce visitors into their retail stores.

As a bonus there is no feeding, walking or training of this watchdog!

Home Security-Motion Detector Alarms-The Electronic Watchdog

On an annual basis, one in six homes in the United States is burglarized. A home burglary happens every 15 seconds. The damage done to the home in a burglary and the value of goods taken in a burglary is close to $3500.00-no small potatoes. And that doesn’t begin to recount the damage done psychologically to the homeowners.

And it seems that home burglary is on the increase. The chances of getting caught while committing a home burglary are minimal. And if the burglar is caught the penalties are equally minimal. It is a low risk crime with lots of upside. So when the going gets tough (like now) why not give it a try?

There are three things that burglars don’t like-loud noises is one of them. That is why this home alarm is so effective-it makes plenty of noise!

One of the best home alarms is the motion detector alarm for home security. These are some of the most popular home alarms because their sensitivity is so keen. It is virtually impossible to get by these motion detector alarms without emitting an ear piercing alarm,

A good example is the Mace home alarm. It operates with motion detection and a security code keypad that is programmable. It uses passive infrared sensors that have a range of 120°. If motion is detected in that area a 105 dB siren goes off. It is a simple do it yourself home alarm.

But the best and most popular motion detector alarm for home security is the
Electronic Watchdog
, a.k.a. the barking dog alarm. It uses electronic radar wave sense control to detect movement up to 20 feet away. The unit can see through wood, brick or glass in a one hundred degree triangle.

When someone enters that triangle of protection, the sound of an angry barking dog begins. For business owners it can be used to announce visitors with a chime. The volume is adjustable and the unit comes with a remote control that allows you to arm or disarm the system, as well as set off a panic alarm.

An additional motion sensor and security sensor can be added to widen the area of protection.

The barking dog alarm combines the best in high technology, using the radar wave sense technology, with good old-fashioned fear-the sound of an angry barking dog-to protect your home and loved ones.

Ask any police officer about the effectiveness of having a barking dog as a deterrent to home burglary and they will tell you that there is nothing better. The electronic watchdog is like having the barking dog without the dog.
