When that 12-year-old child from Oklahoma shot an intruder in the closet she was hiding in throughout a home invasion last October I didnt know how to feel. Part of me was applauding the girl for having the guts to pull the trigger and another part of me was terrified for my very own little girl.
My daughter Sheila as well as I live by ourselves and I realize increasingly more that security is a thing that no person should leave to chance.
It is not important if youve got no enemies. Often it is just plain bad luck that armed intruders pick your household out of so many others to select from.
Celine my ex-wife was just as anxious about the incident and told me that she had installed a wireless home security system. She showed this to me as soon as I drove our child to her place.
It includes a base unit which is linked to a landline a motion sensor a door/window sensor as well as a remote control. All of them are wireless and could be mounted without difficulty. In case any of the sensors detect activity or entry this activates an alarm.
The base device is going to then dial a preset phone number to be able to alert the person at the other end of the line. That person can listen in broadcast their voice through the base unit or disarm the system. In the event the system is not disarmed or if there isnt any response the device is going to call the next number on the list as much as 5 numbers. I was the last phone number on that list for Sheilas sake.
The system appears excellent. You can even put an extra wireless home security sensor for other doors and windows or an extra wireless motion sensor inside other rooms in the house.
There was another home invasion this month inside Kansas involving a boy this time. I am glad I got an amicable divorce and that Celine and I can talk about home security in a civil manner. You cant be too careful today.
