What should I do about home security?
By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®
Start with the basics: install deadbolts on all exterior doors, secure windows with locks or pins, and add motion-sensor lights at entry points. Consider a smart doorbell camera and a basic alarm system. Do not hide spare keys in obvious places. Get to know your neighbors: they are your best security system. Many insurance companies offer discounts for security features.
Why It Matters
A layered approach to home security deters crime and protects your family without requiring a major investment in expensive systems.
