To secure and protect a single-family home or condominium, you need to analyze the situation, which varies greatly depending on the type of dwelling and its geographical location, and take the maximum number of precautions to avoid burglaries and assaults.
While certain attitudes are common-sense solutions, such as being wary of suspicious visits, closing openings in the garden and the home as much as possible and under all circumstances, changing locks when moving into a new house, etc., they are not enough.
It's important to use reliable protection systems to prevent break-ins and, if they get past the initial roadblocks, to control the intruders who have entered the home.
It's also important not to make it easier for malicious individuals to gain access by leaving a ladder or tools outside, or within easy reach, which they could use to gain entry through an unlocked upstairs window, for example.
Today, the term "connected home" is used to describe all the technologies used to remotely control household equipment. All home equipment can be automated: roller and casement shutters, alarms, lighting, etc.
Warning: traps that could harm people, even if warned, are strictly forbidden; in the event of an accident, the owner could be held responsible.
