More and more people are enjoying the ability to work from home. It really is a pleasure not having to get up at the crack of dawn to get ready to tackle whatever the weather happens to be, or fight your way through traffic so you can make a living. However you now have an added responsibility and that is making sure that your home alarms system is going to be adequate for your home business.

Chances are you are not going to be hoarding a lot of money at your home office because you are taking payments online. So having excess cash at home doesn’t raise a potential security risk. What does though is perhaps the increased amount of office equipment that you may be relying on. When you are involved with working on line it often means an upgrade in computers and other electronics. These now become an enticement for break in artists.

Even though you may not have a sign on the front of your home indicating you are running a home based business there are other ways for thieves to detect this. In many cases you are required to put your business address online even if it is not open to the public. This can be easily traced. By making sure that your home alarms system is up to date and functioning properly then you are taking the right security measures.

Something that often happens in the home office setting is seclusion. Even though we are working in a home atmosphere we like to keep our work space separate from our living space. This means finding an area of the home that is out of the way. Perhaps a basement office or even an attic is restructured for this setting. In any event it could mean that you don’t hear anyone coming to your front door. Quite often thieves will ring the doorbell first to see if anyone is at home before they attempt an entry. If they don’t get a response then they will attempt to go about their unscrupulous business. So if you haven’t heard them knock at your door, or ring the bell and you have deactivated your home alarm then you could be at risk of facing a home intruder.

Why not give the experts here at Pre-lock a call and tell then you are working form home, and need to know that you are fully protected with your present security measures. They can also give you additional advice for extra protection.
