Physical security is something no one can guarantee. Any premises, no matter how well protected, with whatever kind of surveillance systems installed, might be penetrated if anyone is determined enough. Several exceptions to this exist, like Fort Knox, or the United States mint where new bank notes are printed and old ones destroyed, but even these are targets.

If that is true is here any reason to try and do premises impregnable? In most instances the answer must be a very resounding Yes of course! If a place is too difficult or dangerous to penetrate, and the more surveillance cameras it has, the more likely that the the would be intruder is either deterred and goes somewhere easier or is detected in the process of his intrusion and detained or chased away.

It must be said that to make a place as impregnable as Fort Knox will mean access is difficult and has triple and quadruple checks and doors and searches. It is unlikely that you would want to make it impossible for your family to enter or move around in the home to enter. (Plus of course it would be very expensive. Rather you want to make security tight enough that your home become a non target.

The primary element of home monitoring solutions and security is of course locked doors and barred windows and any other access points like through the roof or via the air conditioning ducts This is the most basic of security procedure and one would assume that this is locked down tight.

Intrusion alarms are the second line of defense. These can be very advanced not only detecting attempts at unauthorized entry but even vibration, internal movement and sound or disturbances to the electricity, such as flipping a light switch. For an alarm to be useful it ought to alert a guard or a reaction team. The sound of an alarm wailing is annoying but unless it is the responsibility of somebody to respond it might go unheeded.

Surveillance systems installations such as CCTV cameras are an additional security system and not particularly expensive an option. The latest systems bear very little resemblance to the systems of old. Old systems tended to be each connected to a separate video recorder which needed monitoring and of course the tapes needed altering.

But not anymore! With the internet and with broadband technology these cameras can be mounted, with battery backup and connect wirelessly to a server which will record and transmit the images anywhere worldwide in real time. The recording can loop over many days on to a hard disc drive on a server remote from the site and movement detectors on these programs will instantly send an email and a SMS to wherever programmed.

Advanced CCTV cameras have much better lenses. The software has improved as well so, instead of getting video imagery in blurry monochrome, sharp and clear colored pictures show of what is happening and what can be seen is recorded. In addition low light imagery is equally of excellent quality.
