Home Security Planner
Security is layered — start with the essentials (locks, sensors, a camera on the entry, a smoke detector), add the recommended tier as risk or budget allows, and the advanced tier for higher threat or a standalone house. Pick your home type and threat level for an indicative starting plan. Runs in your browser.
- 1Grade-rated main-door lock + door viewer or video door phone
- 2Contact sensors on accessible doors & windows
- 3CCTV cameras at the main entry & approach
- 4Smoke detector in the kitchen/living area
- 1Burglar alarm with app alerts
- 2Full-coverage CCTV + NVR with enough storage
- 3Motion-activated security lighting
- 4A safe for valuables & documents
Indicative starting plan only — security is layered and no single measure is enough. This list is a planning aid, not a substitute for a professional site risk assessment that tailors the plan to your actual home, neighbourhood and threats. Life-safety items (fire, smoke & escape) should be specified and verified by professionals; confirm every measure with a qualified installer.
