staffordshire, staffordshire -- (SBWire) -- 09/10/2010 -- For years, it used to be simply having dogs by the gates or at the front doors that would suffice the need to ensure that homes or premises are reliably guarded from possible break ins and intrusions by likely thieves.

But the phenomenal advancement of technology has given rise to new home security systems that made homeowners sleep soundly at night, whether in their own rooms or in the rooms at faraway vacation places.

The home security systems being used by most companies today include basic home security set-up that entails mounting of sensors on the doors and windows that can be manually armed. These include magnetic contact sensors, motion detectors and sensors that detect break in through glass windows or glass doors.

Once the alarm system is triggered, an automatic alert is sent to the company maintaining the security system, which then contacts house owners or occupants to verify with them the alert transmission. When the owners happen to be away from home, the alert is relayed to the police or fire department.

Live or recorded video feeds of targeted locations within the home can also be remotely accessed online using computers or internet enabled mobile phones, for a set-up that includes home surveillance systems with mounted wireless security cameras.

Selecting the appropriate types of home security systems largely depends on the owners preference since installation for whatever type of system is possible to almost all house models and sizes.
