Beefing Up Security In Your Vacation House

By Randle F Hauck


My family always wanted having a vacation house just like everybody else. The challenging part to owning one, though, is that it is left empty most of the time. When we eventually made a purchase, we knew we had to find ways to beef up the security within the premises.

We obtained the HomeSafe wireless home security system because we thought that it will be very easy to set up and simple to use. If anyone attempts to enter our home, this tool would alert us to that even though we are not around.

Our purchase was comprised of a base unit, an AC adaptor, a window/door sensor with a wireless transmission range of 250 feet, a motion detector having a range of 8 yards, and a remote control with panic feature to activate and also deactivate the included alarm.

This kind of wireless security system will sound an alarm each time a door or window being protected is opened up. At the same time, a motion detector is triggered, upon which it will send a signal to the base unit to contact the first preset telephone number on your list.

As much as 5 pre-programmed numbers can be dialed one by one to tell these numbers' owners of activity in your home. The individual who answers will hear an alert message which is pre-recorded.

That individual will get the opportunity to listen in on any movement inside the room, broadcast a message via the base unit, or turn off the system. If no one answers the first dialed number, or if the person who does opts not to disarm the system, then it will continue to call the other listed numbers.

The way that the system works is ideal for us mainly because we won't be around to watch our property frequently. But if an intruder breaks in, we will be informed. For the setup to function like it should, a landline with tone dialing is needed.

Owning a wireless home security system set up in our rest house is such a relief. Not only is our second home protected, we know as well that we are secure whenever we go for a visit.
