Home Security for Normal Families: Practical Upgrades That Work

Home Security for Normal Families: Practical Upgrades That Work

Home security doesn't require turning your house into a fortress or spending thousands of dollars on expensive equipment. Some of the most effective ways to protect your home and family are surprisingly simple.

In this episode of The Prepping Academy Podcast, Forrest Garvin breaks down practical home security strategies that normal families can use to make their homes safer and less attractive to criminals.

You'll learn why many burglaries and property crimes are crimes of opportunity and how simple changes can make your home a harder target. We cover door security and reinforcement, outdoor security lighting, home security cameras, landscaping, situational awareness, neighborhood security, and OPSEC (operational security).

You'll also discover why privacy plays an important role in home security — from avoiding advertising expensive purchases to being careful about what you share on social media.

Good security isn't about paranoia. It's about awareness, smart habits, and creating layers of protection around your family and property.

You don't need a mansion with a moat. You need a home that's well maintained, well protected, and occupied by people who pay attention.

Criminals usually aren't looking for the hardest house. They're looking for the easiest one. Make sure yours isn't it.

Survive, thrive, stay alive. It's time to get repair with the Prepping Academy podcast.

SPEAKER_01 1:11

Welcome to the Prepping Academy Podcast. I am your host, Forrest. Patrick will be back. He's recording some comms ones now. Hey, but welcome to the podcast. I am so glad you're here. I'm literally thankful that you're here. So this month is kind of preparedness month, and so I've got another one for us. I've got this one that's called Home Security for Normal Families. Because we're normal. We don't let anyone else say we're not. Little odd. But normal. So these are some upgrades, some thinking process to protect your family at home. No gatling guns are on this list. So let us get right in. Hey, by the way, give us five stars. Don't give us four or five. It's just okay, lie a little bit. Help us out. Share it and like it and scramble it up and you know hand it to someone else. So let's get the word out. We'd like to see this grow. We've literally had over four million downloads. Hundreds of thousands of people that wish they could have listened to this and they haven't. No, but you know, we just like to grow it a little bit. So we're working hard. But this one, home security for normal families. So when you hear the word home security, what does that mean to you? A fortress, you know, a guard in the front, cameras everywhere, you know, you know, with bulletproof windows, big old, you know, target balls on the front so they can't ram your house, you know, all these different things, still doors, concrete walls, expensive alarm system. You gotta put your eye, your finger, a little blood to get in, maybe a hidden bunker. That's not what this podcast is about. That's not normal. That's not me. Today we're going to talk about realistic ways to make your home more secure for normal people like us. Let's pretend we're normal. That way we kind of will fit in. Things that actually work, things that doesn't cost that doesn't cost you a fortune, and things that'll make your home less attractive to criminals. So, because the truth is a good home security isn't about living in fear. We can't live in fear. So let's protect everything. That way, if you hear a little something in the night, you could like, good luck, fella, good luck getting in this house, and you would have that confidence that you're going to be safe and your family's gonna be safe. And the criminals might not be safe. So most criminals want an easy target, they always want an easy target. No criminal goes, let me find the hardest house here to break into, or the you know, they just don't do that. One of the biggest misconceptions is a criminal will spend weeks casing your house and planning their break in. That only happens on TV. And if it it only happens to high-profile people that have millions of dollars or something in the house, it doesn't happen to normal people like us ever. Criminals are stupid. If y'all seen dumb criminals show, right? So most don't case your house. They they just most crimes are a crime of opportunity. Wow, I was walking by that house and the window was up and didn't see anyone home. I went in there and stole everything I could get. They look for unlocked doors, open garages, yeah, packages sitting on the porch, dark houses, hidden entry point points, visible valuables. Man, and you know, okay, yeah. Easy access, they want fast, easy, low risk, and where they can just take off and run, you know, because they don't want to get in trouble, they just want to snatch and grab. Or grab and snatch. Grab and snatch. I I don't know how that goes. If your home looks difficult, they'll often move on. So don't make your house look easy. Don't have a sign. I mean, put a sign up said this house is protected by Smith and Wesson. If you're too stupid, that's a gun, idiot. I mean, just literally put that on your house. Yeah, don't do that. Because then your neighbors won't like you. You don't have to build a fortress, you simply have to become a harder target than the next house. So you have to look like you're a harder target than the next house. That's like when everybody said, Hey, if there's a bear line, what do you do? Well, all you gotta do is run faster than your friend, right? So you don't shoot the bear, shoot your friend in the leg and haul. No, I'm kidding. That's I'm just joking, but you kinda, but no, no, I am, I am. So you just have to make your house look more difficult than the other houses, or less appealing to a criminal, which is easy, fast, and dark. Let's start with some basics. Before spending the thousands of dollars, well, you should spend thousands. No, don't spend thousands of dollars. Simple question Are all your exterior doors properly locked? Do they lock good? Do they lock I mean, are they locked? Do they have a deadbolt? We have a door that is will be impossible to kick in, but you know, sometimes the impossible happens. I literally have a bar because we never use this particular door, you know. It's just we have a lot of doors, and it goes up underneath the handle on the floor, and you could just kick there and kick it and kick it and kick it, and that door is not coming in. But are your doors properly locked? Can they lock? Can your kids lock them? Do you do you have a habit of people in your house locking the doors? In my house, we do. We have a screen door, which is a screen, it's glass. We even lock that. We just lock it. We don't want anybody to just walk in. And that is, I mean, my whole family's behind me on that. Do we live in the country? It's does anyone ever kind of walk in our neighborhood? Not really, but you know, we like a little barrier. You know, are we scared? No, we got the door locked. So, are the windows secure? So I know of my windows that have this little plastic piece on both sides where I can take my thumb and kind of push on it and it will pop out. And that will prevent the windows. It's like a locking. So there's a lock that locks the windows, but let's say the windows unlock, even when they try to push it up and you have them little locks on both sides of the windows, it's kind of it's built into the window. They can't, they can't literally open the window, which is good. So are your windows secure? Are they actually locked? All all our windows are locked, they lock very well. Is your garage door closed every night? I have a device that will tell me if my garage door is open at a certain time at night. They'll say, Did it, did it, is your your garage doors open? I'm like, gosh darn it. We'll shut it. But we are pretty good. That is very rare. I don't remember the last time that we didn't lock the the garage door because we have a lot, I have a lot of tools in there. I mean a lot of tools. It's five hundred dollars worth of tools, which is probably less than most people, but I have a default drill. What's that cost? $200? And you put a saw in there, all of a sudden you got like I got like five tools in there. I don't want anybody to go steal it. Then I won't be able to drill. That would stink. So can someone like see inside your windows? What windows can they see in? So I know my garage windows are covered because I don't want someone to be able to look in my garage to see if my car's in there or not. And my garage doors, they're they don't they have my garage door has no glass panels, but my windows, I put this film over it so it's blurry, you can't see in, and then I have blinds as well. So so I don't have like you know, just you can't look in there to see what's in there at all. Do you have, you know? So do you have like a hidden key? Don't tell anybody, I won't tell anybody. A lot of people do hidden keys in case someone gets locked out or something. Yeah, I don't do that. Because let's be honest, they put them in the hide a key, under the floor mat, under a plant, in the pl inner, you know, in a plants, hanging plants basket. I mean, literally, you if someone has a key hidden, I guarantee you I can find it in 10 minutes. You know, let's be honest. You people hide keys where oh no one would ever find it here. Everyone will find it there. But do you have a hidden key? We don't do hidden keys, we do have a device on our garage door that I can open anytime from far and away. So so I don't have hidden keys. How about a security system? You can get security systems now, and I'm gonna tell you how I did my security system, and then maybe you would want to do something like it, maybe not. But it mostly let's just work on your habits, keeping things locked, making sure people can't see valuables. Like if you come in on my back deck, for one thing, we're gonna see you. I have alarms that will go off, I have video cameras that will catch you, and yeah, and that's just walking up. And and then I literally in one of the doors, I put a table in front of one of the doors so that no one could literally just walk up and try to kick the door in and stuff like that. So you gotta think through this. So reinforced doors. How can you reinforce doors? Brick and mortar. So take bricks and look, no, that's the wrong way to do it. But most of the time, people come through doors and windows. Doors and windows. That's what we got to secure. So the door, you know, there are some weak doors, you know, but you know, metal door is the best. Some doors we have glass, which someone could kick it through for sure. That's that's kind of bothers me, but they'd have to go through the screen, I mean the storm door as well, which is usually locked as well, especially on the back. On the front of the house, we don't lock the storm door because we could, if all else fails, we need a key to get in. And so, but yeah, and so so a lot of times, and you guys have seen this, what you need to do is replace all your screws. Now, a lot of people say replace the screws on the the flange, I don't know what that thing's called, where your door latch connects, where the door little thing connects, and when you lock it, that little piece that sticks out and comes in. A lot of people say on that plate, put three-inch screws there. That way it goes through the framing to like the two by fours. Well, I do that. We we've done that, and I've done that for many of my family members, but I also do it on my hinges as well. And you're like, why would you do hinges? Well, you know, I've seen police battering rams, and they'll go them, I mean it'll knock them screws right out of them hinges in no time. I'm like, yeah, I don't want them to come in my house like that, which they sh have never done that you know, but yeah, I replace all my screws with three inch or the appropriate length, depending on your door. They're all heavy-duty screws, and also my plate for all my doors is not the standard plate, you know, which is about two inches tall with the little hole where the little thing make bob goes into it. You you guys know what I'm talking about. I have a plate now that goes not only for the door, but also for the deadlock, so it's one plate that covers both of them, which will make it more secure. And there's more than four screws as well, and I like that. So, so I make my doors as secure as I can. You should too, so that's easy. That's literally, you know, max two dollars at the store to go buy longer screws and then just and and screw them in. Just be careful when you screw it in so that some doors you know have a little decorative thing, you don't want it to go and you know protrude out on the other side of the door frame or whatever. So, but replace short screws, replace your strike plates with longer screws, and make that door as secure as you can. If you're not using the screened in door or the screen door, or the sliding glass door, put a stick there, put a rod there. I can get in most sliding glass doors in less than like 10 seconds. I literally can. You don't even need a suction cup. I tell people get a suction cup. You don't even need that. Um okay, so when the door goes in, I'm gonna tell you guys a secret here. The sliding glass door goes in. It literally how do they get it in the track? Well, they have to tilt it so they tilt it. So when you tilt it, you can actually tilt the lock. If you look at the lock, it looks like an L. And I think it goes down and it clicks. If you pick up, if you pick up the front of that door, you can actually sometimes pick it up enough that the lock doesn't even catch anymore and slide the door open. So I'm telling you this not to break in people's houses. I'm telling you this to fix it, make sure they can't slide that door. And you know what a piece of wood cost? Nothing. I mean, you don't want a limb, but just go get a dowel rod or you know, a broom handle or something like that. So it matters. That that that is your first line of defense is making sure your windows are secure, making and put little stickers. You're like your two most important windows that people would come through. Put a sticker there and says, Hey, I got a dog that's gonna bite you, and we have an alarm system. Don't touch this window. They're like, Oh crap. If they can read, they'll go, oh crap. And so I also have little signs going up on my my back porch and saying, Hey, we and so here's another thing. Let me just tell you this. Go on a Facebook Marketplace and get a big old dog bone. Like a big dog bone, one of them Chewies that's like a foot long. Get one of them dog toys, too, that's like three foot long, big old thing. They're like two inches in diameter. Then get a water bowl and put it on your back porch, maybe turn it upside down or something, put that bone and that rope play toy on there, they're gonna go, holy crap, they got a dinosaur in that house, or they got a big dog, that will deter people as well. And people are like, whoa, yeah, that's that's no, that was free, by the way. That's in my actually my spy course on how to protect your house there. But yeah, do that, put it on the back door, put a dog sign there, and they're gonna holy cow, whatever dog picks up that bone or plays with that rope or drinks out of that bowl. I don't want to be around it. That's a big dang dog. So yeah, do that. Okay, next is lighting. You need lights everywhere. So when I moved in this neighborhood, it's not a neighborhood, kind of say, we all have several acres of, you know, and well, several acres, maybe one to two acres minimum, I think, is in this neighborhood. Not many houses, but it was a dark neighborhood. My wife and I noticed that when we moved in and like, yeah, I don't like this. But so what we have done in my household is I have two backlights on my back deck, they stay on all night long. Literally, they're dusk. When the you know, when the sun comes up, they go off. When the sun goes down, they come on. Same around my garage front, my garage door on both sides of my garage door, and even my front door has two lights, and they always stay on, always. We put LED lights, the cost of that to run that for a year is 20 bucks. I mean, it's not a lot of money, and so that's six lights always on around my house that automatically come on. We don't have to do anything, and so all of a sudden our house is well lit compared to the other houses. But since then, the other houses in the neighborhood have been doing the same. Not just me preaching the prepare, you know, the security gospel here, but but they have some of them leave floodlights on, which is fine if they're you know like LED'd, if they're not, it's gonna cost some money. But yeah, lights. And also I have motion sensor. If you walk on my deck, two lights are gonna grab you, boom, and light you up. If you walk near my garage, lights are gonna lock you up. You walk near my front door, lights are gonna, I mean, everywhere around my house, even if you get near my basement door, which is padlocked, if you get near that, lights are gonna light you up. That cost the lights I use for that literally cost me. Let me count. There's one, two, three, four, five, six, 150 bucks for six lights off of Amazon. They're motion sensored, they work pretty good. LED lights, they're they they work really good, actually. So the goal isn't so I light mine up like a football stadium. And people are like, don't do that, but I I do. I just want you know, it doesn't cost a lot. I want it bright as I can out there. Illuminate, have you know, and I like the idea I have lights, but if the if people walk up, there's more lights. So people, you know, so a well-like house feels less inviting for someone that wants to break into your house. And so, yeah. Also on my back deck, if you break a sensor there, which you won't see, you'll hear a beep, like did-da-d-and-y're like, what the heck? And that will kind of surprise you. It alerts us in the house because no one comes on our back deck. You know, you know what I mean? That device costs almost nothing, it was like $30. You can get, but it will make a beep. The inside and outside people will both hear it, and we know someone's on our back deck. Now, every now and then when them stray cats will come on, and that's what the bowl is for to put some no, I'm kidding. We don't we we like our cats in our neighborhood. But yeah, but every now and then, and we'll just look and go, yep, it's a cat. So cameras. So I have cameras. These cameras, we've tested these cameras. You gotta buy the right ones. I'm not gonna tell you the exact ones I have, but the ones I have, we've tested no information is leaving the device when it's recording. It has a a card, a recording card, and what do you call them? You know, like I can't think right now. Uh digital memory card in there, so the memory stays on the camera, it doesn't go to any place, doesn't go to China, it stays there. I can access it from the internet by using the IP address and the whole system. I have a total of four IP cameras, and they're they're nice. You can't even hardly tell I have them up. It alerts me if something is on my deck, near my garage, my front door, or side of my house. Then I have an old system that I love, and you can buy these, but they're way more expensive. Okay, so the four lights cameras I bought, they were at the time $35 a piece on Amazon. Now they're like you can get them when they're on sale for about $40 a piece. So let's take $40 a piece times four is $160, and that's all you need is then an install them. And they work great. They're five megapixels, they're they're each one has its own CD card or whatever you call them, yeah, that records on there, and it they work great. Also have them wired into the house. Are they wireless? Yes, but I also have them wired into the house in case just you don't have to do that. I'm a little bit nuts on that. I also have a system and it's called Blink B-L-I-N-K. They started out not Amazon owned, so there's a first version, and then there's the second version with the which is the XLT version. Then at that time. When they produ after they produced the XLT version, Amazon bought Blink. Then Amazon camera from that point on was a part of the Amazon network. The XLT is not a part of that network. You do not have to pay to be a part of the Amazon network, and they don't send the information back to Amazon. So, but they're old and now they cost a lot of money because people like them and they want them. They're not a part of the Amazon sidewalk system, none of that. So, especially the first ones are totally, I mean, so anyway, I do have them around and I mostly for fun. Like I have a animal cam where I may or may not feed animals near my house. And we can watch the fox and the raccoons and the possums and the deer. I would never do that. That would be against the No, I love doing that. Sorry. So anyway, the cameras are yeah, so we do I have cameras. I actually put that little system up during COVID. Just I don't know why. I just did. And also like my driveway. When someone drives in my driveway, my driveway is a little bit longer, I guess, than most driveways. I want to know that someone's coming down my driveway and it will alert me. And my wife's phone will go, Oh, look, so there's the camera in the driveway just went off. So I even have one in my garage. We never use that. But I don't, it's never on, it never records. But what happened is this is one of them old, old blink ones. If I'm like, did I put my garage door down? I can go and look at the camera and see if I did. But now the new system I have on my garage door, when I turn it, when I do it up or down, I have a I have an app that can tell me if it's open or not or closed. So I have a fail safe there, two systems. So yeah, camera systems that gives us peace. My wife has so much peace. I mean, you can't break in my house without us seeing you or the alarm going off. We do have an alarm too. So when my wife comes in, pulls the car in the garage, closes the door, makes sure no one's around, she can walk into our house every single time and know that she's safe in there. Because people, you can't get by bypass my system. I don't have my I didn't spend a lot of money. I'm just suggesting maybe you should do that for your wife and family when you come home. You know if someone's in your house or not. I can actually I've I rigged it up. Oh, I I do things on the cheap guys. I have a one of these outlet things, smart outlet, where I can turn it on and off with my phone. And so what I did is I bought a an alarm and plugged it and rigged it so I can plug it to that that outlet. So the alarm is 12 volts, so I had to convert that and then it now it runs off the outlet. So from remotely, I can turn the alarm on or off myself. My the one that's not connected to my system. So if I see someone like walking around in my yard or someone that's on my deck, maybe look through some windows, I can turn the alarm on from anywhere in the world. So I thought that was kind of cool. Okay, landscaping matters. So, you know, you with your windows, you know, putting lights around your windows, you know, don't put a bush so someone can get behind the bush and then work on a window for a while and crawl in and no one see them. But so trim it, make sure that people can see the window from the road, keep all the interestways, you know. You don't want to have like bushes all around your house where people can hide in. You know, help the neighbors see your property naturally, kind of thing. Good landscaping improves both safety and appearance. So just some good landscaping. I have a family member that has bushes all downside of a house, has like a walkway. I'm never a big fan of that. I mean, I just I'm like, okay, someone could eat and we do, my kids hide in there and then go, boo. Sorry if I scared you there. And they jump out and scare me. I'm like, yeah, I don't really like that so much. Okay, let's don't advertise what we own. When you buy a rifle, don't put the don't put the rifle box out by the garage, you know, the trash can. Don't put in, don't be telling people you're buying guns or you're buying you're you're you're buying gold and silver and you're stored in your no, don't tell people anything. Operational security is of the utmost importance. Don't tell people. People know I'm a prepper, but you know what? I tell people people know that because who I am. But I say, hey, they say, I'm coming to your house. I said, please do. I'm not gonna be there. And there's a good three weeks worth of food there. And they'll look at me like, what? I thought you were a prepper. I'm like, oh yeah. I have a retreat, I have a place I'm going with other members of my mag group. You're not invited to that. You don't know where that is, and there could be some consequences if you find it and show up. But my house, yeah, now yeah, I don't care. You know, you know, if the grid goes down and you find my house, you're not gonna have a lot of food or ammo. I this is not where I'm gonna set up shop to die. Okay, I'm gonna go to a place that's well prepared, and I have friends and family with my tribe, and we're gonna do it together. So, but so operational security is very important of what you say and do. I have people that have safe rooms and they tell people. I'm like, why would you tell people that? Well, he's my friend. Well, he's your friend today. You know, so don't leave firearm boxes around. Oh, sorry, I just killed there's a little bug that was bugging me. Don't post on social media, you're going on vacation. Don't, you know, don't wear I don't never wear flat. I wear the same clothes every day. I literally have some tactical khakis and a black shirt and some what's the name of my shoes? Oh, I can't even think about them. I don't have them with me now. They're nice hiking shoes. I wear that same outfit every day of my life. I mean, I'm not saying I'm Bill Gates or no, Steve Jobs, but I'm saying I'm Steve Jobs. That's one less decision I have to make. And yes, I'm my own own my own business, so I don't. If you did that and working at the bank, they might go, dude, maybe some new clothes. But I wear, I wear, I have five companies, and all five of them have a logo, and they all are black shirts with the logo maybe different color above the, you know, the I guess that would be the left chest. So hey, and then the pants, I have 14 pairs of Columbia Tactical Pants or hiking pants, or nothing tactical, Columbia. They were a clothing sponsor of mine for years, and they're the zip-off legs. I I've never zipped them off, but I have them. I just wear the same clothes. Wish I could remember my shoes. They're very nice hiking shoes. I mean, like a hundred dollars. I don't spend a lot on clothes. Like I they maybe 130. I cannot remember what the name of them is. But anyway, you you'll you'll know the name. So, anyway, your best security system is awareness. Being able to look around your house and go, well, that kind of like oh, if I'm gonna break in this house, how would I do it? Let me tell you another secret. This is top secret, don't tell anyone. So I can break in any garage door in America in seconds. Just about any. In seconds. I'll take a wedge, like a door wedge, like a bigger door wedge, okay, like you saw in schools. You know, it's like one end is like two inches, three inches, the other end it's you know, zero inches. It's a wedge. Go to your garage door in the middle, jam that up in the middle of your garage door, take a coat hanger, grab that rope that's hanging there for your automatic release, pull it through the door, grab that thing, unhook it, and raise your garage door. Why am I telling you this? Again, this is all my spy course, which you should all take. Why am I telling you? All you there is a simple way to prevent that, and it's a tie strap. That little thing has a hole in it. Every single one of them, the release for your garage door, you can put a tie strap there, put two, and with all their might, they're not going to be able to unlock that door. They can pull that rope, pull that rope, also take the handle off, okay? So they can't not much left. Or, you know, secure it so they can't pull it through the door. There's several things you can do there. I do the tie strap, okay, so they they that they can't pull it, even if they get the cord. And then I tie the tie strap up to tiny very tiny, so they can't even pull it at all. They can't even get the coat hanger or metal around that. But if they can get that through the door, they can pull that and do the emergency release and get in your garage door. And we all know no one locks their garage door to their house, except I have a it's a key lock, which you you you know, you put a four-digit code in to get in just in case. Okay. So that's some that's some free pointers right there from the prepping prepping academy podcast. So anyway, yeah, notice unfamiliar vehicles in your neighborhood, talk to your neighbors, pay attention to what's going on. Find out, you know, if there's a lot of crime in your area, pay attention. I mean, I don't do like Facebook. I don't really do, I'm on Facebook, but I haven't posted there in years. I don't do what's that neighborhood thing at all. That's just a spy tool. I will join that to spy on other people, but we're not going to talk about that tonight. But yeah, preparedness, it just look around your house to see how you can better fortify it. It doesn't cost a lot of money. Don't don't, I mean, most houses these days have an alarm system, they're cheap. My son ordered one for $199. Self-monitoring as well. We set it, I helped him set it up. It alerts him, doesn't call anyone. Simply safe, kind of thing. I think that was the product, but he didn't get it connected. They wanted him to, but he just some, I don't know how he did it. I think he ordered it on Amazon and he and we rigged it so it would alert his phone. And, you know, he's got a couple cameras in there and things, but it doesn't alert the company. He's not paying for the monitoring. Final thoughts good home security isn't about spending the most money. It's about making smart improvements. It's about thinking through the process, about locking doors, it's about securing windows, about adding lights, maybe some cameras, practicing good obsect, um, getting to know your neighbors. Your neighbors can like, hey, do there was someone walking around your house. Did you shoot him? Oh, no, no. He had a vest on. Okay, okay. I'm just kidding about the shooting. The most important is just being aware of what's going on. You don't need a mansion or a moat. Moat would be cute, cool though, wouldn't it? But but no, no, no moat. You just need a home that's well maintained, well protected, occupied by people who pay attention. So you maybe run some drills, maybe ask your kids. Hey kids, if someone knocks on the door, what are you gonna do? I actually have an app for that. It's called thelastscenario.com and have a kids pack to go through that. I haven't really started promoting that yet, and I probably need to soon. Yeah, I need to. I need to, but I haven't. Criminals aren't looking for the hardest house, they're looking for the easy one. Make sure it's not yours. Matter of fact, put a note in the window saying this house is well protected.
