Best Home Security Systems and Tips for Garages

Best Home Security Systems and Tips for Garages

August 31, 2020 by Emmylou Grimm

Keeping your home safe and secure provides peace of mind and saves you from dealing with the costly and stressful aftermath of a break-in. When considering upgrading your home’s security measures, don’t forget about securing your garage. We leave some of our most expensive possessions in our garages—from lawnmowers to cars. If you have shiny new lawn equipment or your car is a new model with some of the latest technology features, a lurking passerby might be more apt to raid your garage. Here are a few of the best security systems and tips for garages to keep your items stored safely.   

Tips for Garage Safety  

Lighting  

Many thieves will wait until its dark to break in for extra coverage. Use motion-sensing high beam lights to keep intruders at bay and ensure your garage is visible in the dark.   

Automatic Closers  

If you often forget to close your garage door, consider installing an automatic closer. This will close your door after being left open for a certain amount of time. Don’t invite thieves in by accidentally leaving your garage open and unattended.   

Hide Valuable Items  

Most thieves won’t break into a house without reason; they want to know there are items worth the risk. Try to keep your most valuable garage items out of plain sight and cover any windows that could put your valuables on display for someone lurking around your garage.  

Security Systems for Garages  

ADT  

ADT is one of the most highly recommended security partners. ADT offers a wide array of video monitoring, motion detection, and remote garage access devices and sensors. ADT services are also highly recommended for all kinds of customers including rural homeowners, renters, elderly, and tech-savvy individuals.   

Vivant  

Vivant is a great choice for homeowners looking to turn their home into a smart house. Not only does Vivant protect your garage with sensors and detection in line with ADT’s resources, but these devices, as well as many other home security devices, can be controlled via a touch screen panel or your mobile device. This means you can control your home’s security system from any location.
