HYDERABAD: There was a time when leaving one’s home without any security measures seemed like a nightmare. Especially with the rise in crime in the city, one’s home without any form of security is like leaving prey for vultures. However, that scenario is slowly changing with the advent of various security gadgets that are now available in city to protect one’s home from being susceptible to robbery and other threats. The advanced security devices available in the market include – wireless alarms, video intercom system, digital locks, hidden wall safe, master lock storage, among others. Here's a lowdown:Video IntercomVideo Intercoms can increase overall safety at home or at office by allowing one to see who is at the door and make a decision as to whether or not one wants open the door. The video monitor is about 2 ½”x2” and available in many colors. There is an additional set of ports built in the console to connect the intercom with two to three more monitors. Some video intercom units have built-in memory that will record the images of visitors who ring the buzzer. The memory will hold a time and date stamp as well. Digital locksThere are time when one may forget or misplace the keys to the manual lock that guards one’s home. That problem is now solved with digital locks. You are no longer required to carry a bunch of keys that leave you trying them one after the other before you find the right one. Instead, all you have to do is use a PIN entered in to the keypad, an electronic key, a proximity card, or a remote control to control the locking functions on the door. With a digital door lock, as soon as one exits out the door, the door will automatically lock as it closes. This also brings to an end the fear of having forgotten to lock the deadbolt before leaving home. Biometric locksA biometric lock uses an optical or thermal scanner to read and memorise one’s fingerprint and the fingerprints of other authorised users. So, with biometric locks as well, the struggle with a bunch of keys is eliminated. Many biometric security systems provide alternate key access in case the battery-operated system fails. However, if one gets a scar or a cut, the lock will not recognise the fingerprint whatsoever.Wireless AlarmsOne of the reasons to own a Wireless Burglar Kit is that you can integrate a GSM module into the unit. A GSM module is a unit that allows you to control and communicate with your Wireless Kit remotely using any cellular phone. This means you can be alerted instantly of a burglary, fire or tampering, anywhere in the world through a call on your private cell phone, or even through SMS. Additionally, the module allows easy arming, disarming and programming options for your system from anywhere by simply calling or sending a SMS message.Hidden Wall SafeThe Hidden Wall Safe is handy because most burglars spend only a few minutes inside home and only have time to check the most obvious places for valuables. These unique wall safes allow one to hide the valuables inside one of many identical looking wall outlets that is already at home. The aforementioned security systems are available with various companies including Viacom, LG, Samsung. Orders can also be placed online.
