Most people care more about the inside security of their home, and while they don’t like strangers on their property, they don’t feel quite as threatened as long as they remain on the outside. Exterior security is the first line of defense against intruders and theft, so it makes sense to give it some serious attention when setting up your security protection.

Exterior security comes in many different forms. You may think that because you have a good sized fence surrounding the perimeter of your dwelling then that’s enough. After all who is going to scale your six foot fence right? Ask most experienced burglars and they will readily tell you they are up for the job.

You don’t have to make the protection of your residence look like a jail. You have plenty of outdoor security measures in place that won’t even be noticed. However, letting the crook know that you have good security in place often acts as a good deterrent. It is much easier for them to move on down to your neighbor’s house who is less protected.

Many people are now taking a close look at the Optex wireless security as added protection for the exterior of their homes. This can be an add-on to your current security system, so there isn’t a big expense involved, or the hassle of a completely new security system update. Plus, there is not trench digging so you don’t have to worry about your pristine landscape being disturbed.

You can be as limited or as extensive as you want when you are choosing to install some of the Optex wireless security systems. You may feel that a few sensors located in the vulnerable areas of the exterior of your home is enough. Perhaps you have a out building on your property. Here is where you are keeping a lot of your tools and perhaps other equipment. This area is not above the interests of a thief. If they can get a few bucks for anything that may be stored here, then it is worth their time and effort. Having some sensors located around this area, may be the perfect solution.

All too often we forget about the valuable items that we store outside of the home, like in our storage sheds or garages. It is only when we get ripped off that we realize we should have had better security in these areas.

Wireless sensors are just one of several options that are an inexpensive addition to your present interior security. No need to worry about the false triggers that were so prominent when sensors first came out. They have come a long way since them.
