We live in the age of technology today. There is no area now that is not affected by technical advancements, specifically computer based advancements. One area where technology has made a very positive impact is security systems. With increasing crime rates all over the world, top-notch security systems are needed both for individual protection and to guard homes and buildings. In Chennai, the increase in the number of apartments has given rise to many security issues. Joint families that had more than ten people living in the same house have been replaced by nuclear families. This leaves people in more danger too.
Conventional security guards at entrances of apartments are still a common sight but security doesn’t end there. CCTV cameras have become a preliminary requirement for all complexes and apartments. These compact and flexible cameras record events across a range of distances and transmit them to a central monitoring unit. Thus, a single person can monitor events at many different locations. These are affordable and easy to install too. Apart from this, a range of burglar alarms and motion detection devices are set up for individual houses to detect break-ins and unauthorised movements. It is also a practice in apartments to establish a local phone network to let visitors dial and talk to the residents before entering into buildings.
In addition, even during construction, builders should take care to construct buildings and common spaces with good visibility and lighting to avoid ambiguous and dangerous spots that might encourage offenders to take advantage. While buying homes, buyers should keep in mind to make a checklist of all such security features to live a safe and protected life at home. There are flats for sale in Chennai that boast of excellent security systems. It is up to the buyer to choose wisely and have the right priorities while buying a home.
