In part 1 of this series Exploring the D's Of Home Security - Part 1: Desire, we spoke of the importance of desire in formulating and achieving success in whatever you do — in this case, making your home burglar proof. In part 2 od this series Exploring the D's Of Home Security - Part 2: Developing a plan, we explored ways to develop a not-so-rigid, robust and discussed a few pointers as to how to develop an effective plan.

So what is the next part in the overall scheme of things? Deter.

To deter someone is to stop someone from doing something — in this case, busting your home. So how do we do that? This question is solely answered by the technical part of the story. You research, find and install an effective surveillance and home protection system, complete with burglary alarm systems. Ensuring that you have well-built doors and windows, strong locks and adequate protection from forced entry are all ways to deter the burglars.

Being Paranoid helps. Doesn't it?

In the previous post made yesterday Exploring the D's Of Home Security - Part 1 : Desire we spoke about the one reason why success — no matter what kind of success it is — can be found just by having the desire to get it. It ought to be intense enough, consistent enough and focused enough for you to take action. Now, that's where we land — taking ACTION.

No matter how badly you wanted a surveillance camera system installed, you will never get anywhere if you don't take action ( cliched? yes. True? Yes. Works? yes). So what must be done?

Develop a Plan, My friend.

Richard Templar writes that " A fool and his money are parted, because the fool doesn't have a plan" — so is the case here. Think of your home and family as money and it will all be parted from you. Developing  a plan is the fundamental step towards a successful, pre-emptive burglary subotage. Doing it takes an hour probably but can save you tons of effort, time, money and agony.

Here are the questions you should try to answer when developing that plan :

• What do you need the surveillance system for?
• What exactly, are you looking to achieve?
• Where do you plan to deploy your cameras?
• What is your budget? Will there be any recurring costs?
• And much more….

A sound plan must not be very rigid too since you will need to make changes depending on external circumstances. And a robust, well-designed plan is always a tell-tale sign of success.

In the Book " How to Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill, the fundamental point he makes is that for all seccess, the starting point is desire, and yo ucan't express this better than the way he did. It is true, isn't it? Anything you had ever wanted to do, all started with some desire — the extent of success then, is determined by how tenacious, consistent and long lasting this desire is within you.

In the case of protecting your home from burglary, installing a new surveillance camera system or to overhaul the one you presently have, it all boils down to one thing : How badly do you want it done? The more intense your desire is, the better your other D's will be.

Now, by firmly desiring for an appropriate system, you will have an unquenchable thirst in trying to find out more about your options; you will negotiate with the vendors vehemently to save costs but still get the best there is; your family's safety becomes you primary concern and you will work towards it. It isn't rocket science, everything is just fuelled by that fire in your belly.

For the homeowner wanting to make sure that their home is safe whether they are home or away on a trip a home security system is the best way to keep not only their possessions safe, but also the loved ones who may be inside when a criminal decides to hit the home. A home surveillance system is getting much more affordable and easy to install in just about any home. This will give those who live there the peace of mind that all is well when they are away or even asleep in their beds for the night.

If you have done a internet search for surveillance cameras you are sure to see that there are thousands of companies all willing to sell you any camera they can. Just like with any shopping on the internet you should ensure that you are buying from a reputable company that will help you get the surveillance cameras that will fit your exact need and situation. At Sun Securities we want you to get what you need and we feel that you should feel like you can call our customer service not only before the sale, but after as well.

There is some confusion about whether hidden cameras are wired or wireless. Many falsely believe that if it is hidden it is a wireless model, which will not need to be connected via cables to the security monitor. This is not true though, not every hidden video surveillance camera is wireless. There are wireless hidden cameras and ones that need wired in as well. This is something every buyer should clarify when purchasing a hidden camera so they can get the exact camera that fits there very needs whether they need one that can be installed with wires or they would rather save a little money by skipping the wireless option.

Many debate that home and business owners are just getting more paranoid and that having a cctv security system is not really needed to keep their facility safe and secure. They feel that though crime rates fluctuate there is no proof that security systems keep crime from occurring. Maybe a surveillance system is not truly needed, but this is a decision that each person will need to decide for him or herself. There are those who feel that having a surveillance system will deter crime and there is no way to measure just how effective it is. But for the peace of mind that having security in their home or business many feel that alone is worth the minimal cost of getting a system installed.

There are so many places that a hidden camera can be easily installed into a home or business where nobody would ever expect to discover there. Exit signs and sprinkler heads in a business are perfect examples of hiding places that will not only conceal a camera but also provide a power source. Hidden video surveillance can also be placed inside an empty air freshener dispenser or even a thermostat for discreet placement in convenient places. These cameras are a great way to keep an eye on specific spots within a home or business where only you will know that you are recording the area.

To take the guesswork out of buying a home security system many homeowners choose to buy their system in a package. By purchasing a home surveillance system in a package this will remove the need to find the right cameras, pci cards, and accessories that will all work together to cover your home in the best security available. Not only does buying security camera packages take the technical issues out of the system it also makes buying the equipment you need more affordable since they are usually bundled into a package that will cost less than if you bought all the pieces separately.

For those who install a home security system to their home PC many might want to consider adding a second monitor to their computer just for the purpose of viewing the feed from the cameras. By installing separate security video monitors this will leave your original computer monitor still available for the other tasks you may need to do throughout the day. Having more than monitor is not necessary but many surveillance system owners find that having more than one makes operating the system and using the PC so much easier than if they only had one monitor installed.
