Do you always keep your systems updated?

Sophisticated criminals are knowledgeable, well-equipped and creative. Dr. Claire Nee of the
Department of Psychology at the University of Portsmouth, said: “The thing is, you have to be
innovative over time because burglars will get used to whatever you do.”
Solutions:

Update your home security software as often as possible to help counter new threats. It is also
advisable to consult security experts about upgrades to enhance performance and add new
features. Set a routine check-up with professionals once a year.

Another novel strategy to address crackable and outdated home security systems is to build a
sustainable home. A sustainable home is one equipped with a smart home security system that
can be customized to match the homeowner’s unique needs.

This innovation not only provides the latest in home automation, but also offers eco-friendly
equipment.

It need not be said that security plays a huge part in our ability to function as contributing
members of society.

To feel safe is simply not a luxury, but something that is integral to our lives, and to have our
efforts to keep ourselves, our families, and our property safe be compromised cannot be
ignored.

We are compelled to act--to take the necessary steps to reestablish our security and continue to
re-enforce those measures. In this light, we continue the tradition of the man who created the
first door to keep intruders out of his cave.

Throughout the years, mankind has continuously developed new innovations to stay safe
against ever-evolving means to cause them harm. Safety is a legacy we impart upon our loved
ones.
