Keeping our homes secure is an important issue. Today, we’ll offer some tips on how you can easily secure your home in Iredell County.



  1. Invest in an alarm system. The sound of an alarm not only deters the burglar, it also alerts your neighbors and local law enforcement of a disturbance.


  1. Put up an obvious surveillance camera. This might cost you around $100, but it’s a clear sign you have a secure alarm system.
  2. Clear shrubbery and trees. Don’t let bushes and plants obstruct your views on footage. Safety experts recommend keeping bushes trimmed to 3 feet in height and tree branches above 6 feet off the ground.
  3. Use motion detector lights. This ensures your property will be lit without racking up the price of your electric bill.
  4. Deadbolt your front and back doors. Statistics reveal 34% of intruders enter through the front door and 22% enter through the backdoor.
