The complete home security guide - G Honey

The Complete Home Security Guide provides an essential reference guide to domestic security and crime prevention. It sets out a clearly defined stratgey to improve home security. It includes information on undertaking a comprehensive risk assessment for a home, understanding and dealing with the requirements of the home insurance industry, and how to recognize and deal with bogus callers. It also discusses perimeter and boundary protection by natural methods-such as hedges and foliage, and physical security devices-fences, gates, and locks. It offers a guide to the variety of electronic security systems available, and CCTV, as well as lighting and signaling of intrusion, such as alarms and video systems. There are tables, charts, and photos to illustrate the practical application of security principles; checklists for security planning; a glossary of terms; and relevant data from the Building Regulations.
