These weatherproof devices can keep a watchful eye on your property

Complete security systems are expensive, but it's actually become very affordable and easy to install a couple of security cameras outside your home. Cover the exterior and you'll know whenever there's an intruder. Outdoor security cameras can deter burglaries, home invasions and porch pirates; they're also great for keeping an eye on the comings and goings of your family and pets.
