The realm of residential security is expanding outside the four walls of the home. More homeowners are requesting cameras, garage door sensors, gate controls, and even outdoor sensors that can allow the monitoring of pools, gates, and other areas. These all extend the residential security perimeter well outside the physical structure of a residence, and strengthen the security available to the homeowner.
Outdoor residential security is really the first line of defense of any homeowner’s security, says Carl Sandulli, Automated Security Alert Inc., Munhall, Pa. “The home itself, of course, has full security, but the outdoors often needs to be addressed as well,” he emphasizes.
