HOME DEFENSE SECURITY ZONES
As you are putting together your home security plan and thinking about home defense tactics, break it down into three categories. These are perimeter security, property security and home security.
PERIMETER SECURITY
The perimeter of your property is your first level of defense. The whole point of having good perimeter security is to deter an intruder, and the need for further home defense tactics.
PROPERTY SECURITY
Once someone breaches your perimeter it becomes more about defending your property. Make sure these areas are wide open as possible, leaving few concealment options for intruders. This means no picket fences around gardens and no large bushes.
HOME SECURITY
The third zone is the house itself and is the most critical zone. After all, this is the target for the intruder right? This is where you will spend most of your time and energy because everything you are protecting is inside your home.
