Protecting your home and family is a fundamental priority, and modern security involves more than just locking the doors. At Landstar Telecom, we understand that a layered approach, integrating physical measures with technology, provides the best defense. We guide our clients in setting up systems that offer real peace of mind. Here are four practical tips we recommend for enhancing your overall home security.
Install a Reliable Alarm Security System
The foundation of robust home security is a professionally installed and monitored alarm security system. We help configure systems that cover all entry points, include motion sensors, and offer remote control via smart devices. Crucially, professional monitoring ensures that local authorities are notified immediately when an alarm is triggered, providing a rapid response that truly deters intruders.
Fortify Doors and Windows
While an alarm security system handles detection, physical barriers slow down unauthorized access. We often advise clients to upgrade exterior doors with solid cores and install high-quality deadbolts with at least a one-inch throw. For windows, adding secondary locks or ensuring they are protected by the security system’s sensors provides an extra layer of defense against tampering.

Maintain a Visible and Well-Lit Exterior
Deterrence is the first line of defense in home security. We recommend using motion-sensor lighting around all sides of your home, especially near doors and garages. Intruders prefer to operate under cover, so keeping your property well-lit eliminates hiding spots. Additionally, trimming overgrown shrubbery around windows and entry points increases visibility, making unauthorized access much riskier. We also protect the industries we serve in a similar manner.
Integrate Smart Devices for Remote Monitoring
Leveraging today’s connected technology allows for constant, remote monitoring of your property. We help you integrate smart devices like video doorbells, exterior cameras, and connected locks into a centralized platform. This allows you to check on your home, grant access to trusted individuals, and receive instant alerts from anywhere, keeping you informed and in control of your home security at all times.
Effective home security is a combination of smart habits and reliable technology. By implementing these tips—from fortifying entry points to integrating an alarm security system with remote monitoring capabilities—you significantly reduce your risk. At Landstar Telecom, we specialize in providing tailored security solutions that utilize the latest smart devices to protect what matters most.
