At the height of the summer season, when villages are crowded with adults and noisy children, no one thinks about safety. But after only 2-3 months, the houses and streets will be empty, and thieves will come to replace the friendly summer residents. It is they who, in the cold season, trade both in remote villages and on the territory of protected gardening associations. Only at the beginning of 2017 in the Moscow region, in particular in the Moscow region, more than 25 thousand thefts and about 550 arsons were recorded.
How to protect the house from intruders?
Are you sorry for household appliances? Would you like to take valuables from your summer house to your apartment and vice versa every year? Want to protect your favorite home from theft? Then you need an alarm system that effectively scares off intruders, guarding the house best. Note that such systems exercise complete control over the facility, notifying the owners or security company about a gas leak, smoke, or flooding the building.
High-quality burglar alarms that are suitable for private use can be conditionally divided into stand-alone and remote control 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. An autonomous alarm system during the intrusion of strangers emits loud signals and sends a hacking message to the building owner.
The main advantages of this type of security system are:
- No need to pay for system maintenance, just buying it.
- A sharp characteristic sound can scare off more than 90% of intruders. Indeed, in most cases people dependent on alcohol or drugs encroach on country houses, people with no fixed abode, who do not want to be in prison.
- Messages are being sent, thanks to which the owner learns about the fact of hacking and contacts the law enforcement authorities independently.
- Easy system installation.
- It is possible to install the system in villages where there is no way to connect the system to the security console.
If you install such a system in a house in an unguarded village, you can only hope that the robber will be scared of a loud sound. Of course, the system sends a notification to the owner of the object, but until he reads the message and calls the law enforcement officials, valuable things will be taken out of the house. In this case, the homeowner will not receive material compensation!
Console system - strengths and weaknesses, features
This option is the most reliable, because the system is connected to a common security console. If there was a fire in the house, or an unauthorized entry was recorded, then a team of specialists will quickly go there from the nearest office. They inspect the object, which increases the likelihood of an attacker being caught and prevents theft.
Also, the strengths of the remote control must include:
- the object is reliably protected, because a team of trained people watches it 24 hours a day;
- it is enough for the owner of the house to pay in time to protect the house from burglars.
These security alarms also have minor flaws: monthly payment for the work of the security company and compliance with the requirements that the company puts forward to the facility.
What 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 console system that wins, thanks to which, after an alarm, a group of professional security guards from the PSC or the police leaves the facility.
Messages to a mobile number or an email with a photo sent by a modern autonomous alarm system are good, but slow and not always effective. Why waste time and risk valuable things, if you can just connect the house to the remote control and stop worrying about being robbed forever!

How exactly is it not worth guarding the cottage?
25 years ago, when the dashing 90s raged in the courtyard, the population did not yet know about modern security systems, so angry dogs and real bear traps were used to protect houses.
But traps, poisoned foods or drinks are beyond the limits of self-defense. Hundreds of people are sentenced to prison terms each year for using these illegal methods of protecting suburban real estate. And if a child or a tourist who accidentally wanders into your area gets into the trap? There is no need to talk about a similar situation with poisoned food, so do not take any chances, but choose a high-quality remote alarm.
Various modifications of such systems are presented on the modern market, and finding a favorable offer from a security company is also quite simple. Prefer legal and safe methods of protecting your property.
