Here are 7 areas of security that I consider essential for the security of your coin collection:
The sign of bad taste is optional. The dog is advised.
1. Home Security Alarm System – If you don’t already have one, you should consider a whole house home security alarm system. This is the basis for the rest of the elements that I will discuss in this article. Burglaries are most often confined to the main room and the master bedroom. Place your safe outside of your living room.
2. Separately divided or zoned security room: Have the room with your safe in it, divided into separate zones from the rest of the house. It would also be advisable to install a deadbolt on the door. With the lockable safe, you can activate the security alarm when you are not in that room, but still in the house.
3. Install a security alarm device in the safe: Devices are available that detect forced entry into the safe. They contain a seismic detection system that reacts to the characteristic vibration patterns of all breaking and entry tools, such as hammers, drills, diamond saws, hydraulic pressure tools, as well as thermal tools such as a welding torch and thermal lance. They sense vibrations that occur within a 45-foot radius of where they are mounted.
4. Duress code programmed in: You may have a separate duress code programmed into the security system that alerts the alarm monitoring center of a burglary in progress. If someone breaks in while you’re home and forces you to open the safe and the safe for them, you disarm the room with the duress code and open the safe. Meanwhile, the police are called.
5. Camera pointed at the safe: Point a security camera so that an intruder is clearly visible to it. Get a camera with a resolution high enough to get a nice sharp image in low light. That way, you are being recorded, if an intruder forces you to open the safe. It will also record the intruder who manages to bypass the alarm system when no one is home. This is also great for insurance claims.
6. Perimeter Detection – Motion activated cameras mounted around the home can protect the perimeter and deter potential intruders. If the resolution is good, you should be able to easily identify people who are not authorized to be on your property.
7. Bad taste alarm signal: You can always put a sign on the window announcing that you have protection from a security company. He also advertises that he might have valuable property inside that is worth stealing. Don’t put the sign up as a lantern.
In addition to the alarm upgrades mentioned above, you can always hire your Doberman, Rottweiler, Shepherd, or Pit Bull. Dogs are often good crime deterrents. Also, you can check if your concealed carry permit is up to date and if there is a lot of ammo for the Smith & Wesson. I recommend Federal Hydra-Shok bullets for maximum stopping effect.
To continue a bit, I would like to make 2 points regarding a comment I recently received:
1. I know Jack Schitt. Turns out he’s my brother-in-law.
2. You misspelled his name!
