Security

Ever since we moved to Perth I have been thinking about the house security.  We have already removed the large trees on the front lawn which was partially due to my desire to eliminate a concealed approach.  The front of the house is tidily presented but plain in appearance.  I want it to look “normal”.  Access down either side of the house has been eliminated with my construction of a shade house on one side and polycarbonate roofed storage area on the other.  The most obvious way to access the house would either be via the rear neighbour’s property or through the roof by removing some of the cement roof tiles.  This latter point has been made slightly more difficult with the installation of the solar panels.

Most thieves are lazy and look for the “softest target”.  I want our house to not give the appearance of being a soft target but also not appearing to be affluent.  We’re not affluent… but you know what I mean!

If you have observed the actions of burglars and thieves you might have noticed they invariably wear a “hoodie” over their head and look down to avoid being recorded on a security camera.

Today the security cameras I ordered for the front of the house were delivered by courier.  They are my next line of defence.

They were $4 each.  And yes…… if you read the fine print on the box you will realise they are fakes.

The cameras are ceiling mounted at either end of the front porch.

My theory is any thief will see the camera and raise their hoodie before looking down.  Which is where our real hidden security camera is located.

Hopefully any potential thief will see the exposed property frontage; difficult access and the cameras; before deciding to go elsewhere and look for an easier target.
