These systems will not work if your behavior is not changes in a way that home security is a major concern. If you have changed your behavior you should think about those parts of your home that seem vulnerable.

- Passive infrared detectors which are cheap and efficient.
- The ultrasonic detectors which are more expensive than the infrared ones. They function on a frequency principle.
- The microwaves detectors are usually combined both indoors and outdoors.
- The infrared light beams are the most expensive ones and they are usually used in museums or banks as not many people can afford them.
However, there are many ways of protecting your home without spending a lot of money. First of all you should check your locks and replace them if they are very used or of old technology. Sometimes even having a fish hole can help in enhancing your home security.
