The matter of home security has come a long way. Ancient Babylon worried about it. And so was Greece, Medo-Persia, and Rome. Today, you think about it. We all do. The goal, either time is the same- to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your valuable property. Do you know that some security measures employed in medieval times are still in use today? These include Moats, Watchtowers, Walls, Gates, weapons, and so forth. These security measures worked very well then. They served to protect people’s lives and properties. They still work very well today.
No doubt, many people would jump at the idea of making their home one of the most secure places on earth. It can feel exhilarating to achieve that. Consider a home with impenetrable high tech security such as hidden cameras, sensors, motion detectors, floodlights, and with premium trained security dogs patrolling your grounds. Some would even prefer to have Lions and Tigers guarding the perimeters of their homes to keep unwanted visitors at bay.
While this may appear appealing, normal day to day living should not be a simulation of a city under siege. Your home will never be Area 51 but a living abode. Modest security measures may be all you need to live happy, hale, and hearty.
