It is a common misconception that the most expensive security gadgets will prevent burglary and vandalism. But it doesn't matter if you have a voice activated alarm on the door and leave the windows wide open. Having the best home security system is about shopping smart and evaluating the weaknesses of your home.

Some common components of the best home security systems are burglar alarms and security cameras. In fact some studies have found that dummy cameras can prevent theft because criminals avoid them. Most important is having an alarm system that can bring help in case of a burglary. The other essential items are secure locks on all doors and windows. Deadbolts in doors are shown to decrease the likelihood of being robbed. Other additional security devices should be chosen on a case by case basis. Some sensors are able to detect when a door or window is opened. These may not be useful everywhere, but just on the doors and windows that don't lock securely or aren't as well guarded.

Guard dogs are also popular part of security systems, but they are not entirely reliable, and some people don't want to take care of them. Video surveillance is useful for gathering evidence if there is a burglary. This can help police find criminals and return stolen possessions sooner.
