At the height of the summer season, when the villages are crowded with adults and noisy children, no one thinks about safety. But in just 2-3 months, houses and streets will be empty, and thieves will come to replace the friendly summer residents. It is they who hunt in the cold season both in remote villages and on the territory of protected garden associations. At the beginning of 2017 alone, more than 25 thousand thefts and about 550 arsons were recorded in the Moscow region, in particular in the Moscow region.
How to protect your home from intruders?
Do you feel sorry for home appliances? Do not want to take valuables from the dacha to the apartment and vice versa every year? Do you want to protect your beloved home from theft? Then you need an alarm system that effectively repels intruders while guarding your home in the best possible way. Note that such systems exercise complete control overobject, notifying the owners or the security company about a gas leak, smoke, flooding of the building.
High-quality burglar alarms that are suitable for private use can be conditionally divided into autonomous and remote systems.
Let's look at each security system in more detail, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages.
Autonomous alarm - pros, cons and features
This type of alarm is popular and effective if the system is installed in an office or other commercial establishment. The stand-alone intrusion alarm emits loud alarms and sends a burglary message to the owner of the building.
The main advantages of this type of security system include:
- No need to pay for the maintenance of the system, just buy it.
- Sharp characteristic sound can scare away more than 90% of intruders. Indeed, in most cases, country houses are encroached by people addicted to alcohol or drugs, people without a fixed place of residence who do not want to end up in prison.
- Messages are sent, so the owner learns about the fact of hacking and contacts the law enforcement authorities on their own.
- Easy system installation.
- It is possible to install the system in villages where it is not possible to connect the system to the security console.
If you install such a system in a house in an unguarded village, then you can only hope that the robber will be frightened by a loud sound. Of course, the system sendsnotification to the owner of the object, but until he reads the message and calls the representatives of law and order, valuable things will be taken out of the house. In this case, the homeowner will not receive financial compensation!
Remote system - strengths and weaknesses, features
This option is the most reliable, because the system is connected to a common security console. If there is a fire in the house, or unauthorized entry was recorded, then a team of specialists is quickly sent there from the nearest office. They inspect the object, which increases the likelihood of catching an intruder and prevents theft.
Also, the strengths of console security must be attributed to:
- the object is reliably protected, because a team of trained people is watching it 24 hours a day;
- It is enough for the owner of the house to pay on time to protect the house from robbers.
These burglar alarms also have minor disadvantages: the monthly payment for the work of the security company and compliance with the requirements that the company puts forward to the object.
Which security system to choose for a country house or cottage?
If you are a happy owner of real estate in the city or outside the city, then you need to take care of reliable protection. And here, in all respects, it is the remote control system that wins, thanks to which, after an alarm, a group of professional security guards from a private security company or the police leave for the object.
Messages to a mobile number or an email with a photo sent by a modern autonomous alarm system aregood, but slow and not always effective. Why waste time and risk valuables when you can just plug your house into the remote control and stop worrying about being robbed forever!

How exactly should you not guard the dacha?
25 years ago, when the dashing 90s raged in the yard, the population did not yet know about modern security systems, so both angry dogs and real bear traps were used to protect houses.
But traps, poisoned foods or drinks are overstepping the limits of self-defense. Hundreds of people are sentenced to prison every year for using these illegal ways to protect suburban real estate. And if a child or a tourist who accidentally wandered into your site gets into a trap? It’s not worth talking about a similar situation with poisoned food, so don’t take risks, but choose a high-quality remote alarm.
On the modern market there are various modifications of such systems, and finding a profitable offer from a security company is also quite simple. Give preference to legal and safe methods of protecting your property.
