Sensor Lighting for Home Security

Sensor Lighting For Home Security

Sometimes street lighting and your front/ back home lights are not enough to shed light during the night; making it an easy target for thieves to strike. Some ideas to consider for not only shedding light around your home for safety purposes, but also inside cost effective sensors are:

Setting up a dawn and dusk detection sensor that controls safety and security on your standard porch lights. The Passive Infrared motion sensor will tell your lights when it’s getting dark outside and automatically turn them on and then back on again when it gets light.

Security floodlights are great for securing the perimeter of your home with easily control lights and plenty of remote access. There are some floodlight packages that have a motion activated sensor of up to a 20 foot distance. (Flood lights with sensor picture below)











Inside the home you can have timers hooked up to your lamps, televisions, radios, etc. They can be easily bought cost effectively from your local neighborhood Walgreens store, Wal-Mart, or your Lowe’s or Home Depot stores. Setting these up inside your home gives the illusion that someone is at home and not empty. These are great for when you go out on a family trip or coming home late at night.

A sensor light switch is ideal for two reasons: One. If you have children that constantly leave the light on, the sensor will detect that no one is in the room and shut off saving you on the electric bill. Two. It surprises anyone who enters that room by automatically turning on the light when it senses someone or movement in the room. (Sensor light switch picture below)





It is amazing what a little light can do to help you stay safe. Not only will sensor for lights help you in your home security, but if used properly, they can even help you on your light bill (result may vary).
