November 30th, 2023



Do you live in an unsafe neighborhood? Are you constantly worried about the security of your home and family? Do you want to take steps to ensure that your home in Houston TX is as safe as it can be? If the answer to all these questions is a big yes then you will certainly find this article to be very helpful. In this article we will give you some tips on how you can increase the security of your home

Install a fence

Some people always install a fence no matter where they live. It’s always a good idea to put up a fence marking the perimeter of your property. Putting up a high metal spiked fence will give out a strong signal that you are serious about the safety of your home.

Get a strong garage door

Most of the garage doors are made from light weight materials. You might have a garage door opening mechanism but sometimes we all open them manually and hence it becomes essential to use light weight materials. But since they are made from light weight materials, they are easy to break. A weak garage door can lead the robber straight into your house. For this reason you should always take some steps to increase their strength. You can use a steel bracing to increase the strength of your garage door.

Install a driveway alarm

Installing a driveway alarm is a must if you are serious about the safety of your home. A driveway alarm can alert you well before the thief even reaches the door of your home. They are not too expensive and are really easy to install. Some driveway alarms are designed to detect only heavy objects such as a car while others are designed to detect almost anything intruding the space of your driveway. If you live in an unsafe and violent neighborhood then we will advise you to install the later type of drive alarm systems.

Install some CCTV cameras

CCTV stands for Closed Circuit Television. CCTV cameras enhance the overall security of your house to a great extent. Not only do they allow you to see what’s going on around the house but they are also very instrumental in identifying the suspects in an investigation. Installing CCTV cameras is definately one of the best things you can do to secure the safety of your home and loved ones.

"Steve I just wanted to thank you and your partner Ray Kindsfather for the fine work you men did installing the security cameras around my home. The quality of the pictures is excellent, the clarity in day or infrared mode is exactly what I was looking for. What good is a camera if you can't identify the person and these cameras will greatly assist the police in identifying a perpetrator. The computer side of the job is easy and fast with very little adjustment time for me in finding what I want to see. Software and hardware get A+++++ no doubt about. The Ring is equally easy to use and the quality of the camera is equally strong. The installation was clean and fast. You maintain a clean site, it’s like you were never here. You answered all my questions with pin point accuracy. Integrity suits you well. Your answers were honest and to the point. Refreshing in today’s world. All and all you and Ray make a strong team at DWS Technology LLC. I have no problem recommending you to friend or family, home or business. God bless you both with your business. I will call you for future installations. "

"Ray, in reviewing several different security cameras there were many good products, but none met my criteria of clarity and no long-term contract. Raymond, you showed me one product that caught my attention with the clarity and distance viewing that I could not get with other systems. The zoom after a few feet became distorted with the other systems but with the Alibi NVR package you demoed, we could zoom in and out with clarity which made this product stand out from all the rest. The NVR system is so simple, in fact, anyone can configure the system to suit their needs. You can monitor your home from your smartphone or tablet and having security cameras makes it a great deterrent for criminal activity. DWS Technology delivered as promised! Your installation crew worked clean and treated my home as if it was their own. Great attention to detail! I will recommend DWS Technology to anyone! Great job guys!"
