When most people think about home security, their focus goes straight to the front door — and for good reason. Doors are the most common entry point for burglars. But here’s the truth: a determined criminal won’t hesitate to use a window if it looks like the easier option.
Windows are one of the best features of any home. They let in sunlight, fresh air, and make your space feel open and inviting. But without the right security, they can quickly shift from an asset to a liability. The good news? You don’t have to sacrifice beauty for safety. With a few smart steps, you can keep your windows as secure as your doors.
Tips for Better Window Security
1. Use Cameras to Cover Every Entry Point
Don’t limit your security cameras to just the front and back doors. Position them to keep an eye on windows as well. Burglars are looking for “blind spots,” and cameras aimed at windows remove that advantage. Criminals want to get in and out fast, and visible cameras are often enough to make them move on.
2. Install Window Alarm Sensors
Window alarms are an easy, effective way to add another layer of protection. These devices trigger if a window is opened or broken, instantly alerting you and our monitoring team. As a bonus, they also help parents keep tabs on teenagers who might think about sneaking out after curfew.
3. Use Landscaping as a Natural Deterrent
Strategic landscaping can do more than beautify your yard — it can boost security. Thorny plants like roses or bougainvillea under windows make access painful and slow for anyone trying to get in (or out). Burglars don’t want obstacles, especially ones that can leave scratches behind as evidence.
