Window sensors and motion lights are great security measures as they can help to inform you if there is unexpected movement around your house and they also act as a deterrent. Window sensors are often built into home security systems. They are designed to detect whenever your window is opened and can even let you know when this has happened. You could additionally pair this with motion lights to act as a deterrent. Burglars like to move around in darkness so as not to be caught, if they suddenly find their criminality lit up for all to see, they will probably want to move on. Motion lights can also send motion-activated alerts to your phone where you can respond by sounding an alarm, again to scare off potential burglars.
Window grilles are a very effective security measure that you can add to your home. They have the ability to put a burglar off just by their very existence. Burglars know how difficult window grilles are to get past and thus tend to avoid premises that use window grilles. Even if a burglar managed to smash your window or your left your window unlocked, the burglar would be unable to squeeze through the window grilles. Whilst window grilles are often overlooked due to their appearance, there are many ways in which window grilles can be made to appear as more of a decorate addition to your home than an intrusive security measure.
Tempered glass is several times stronger than annealed glass. The glass is made in a way that enhances its strength and thus when used in windows, they are considered safety windows. This is because they make it much harder for a burglar to break in via your window due to the fact that the glass crumbles, making it more time consuming for the burglar to enter your home and more likely that they will get caught. Reinforced glass is therefore a security measure that also acts as a deterrent.
