Free Security Checklist: Is Your Home or Business Truly Protected?

By Rodney Moore – Technology Consultant – Federal Protection

Why This Matters

Most break-ins don’t happen because criminals are highly skilled, they happen because of simple, overlooked vulnerabilities.

This checklist will help you quickly identify weak spots in your home or business security before they become real problems.

Section 1: Exterior Security (First Line of Defense)

✔ Are all entry points (doors/windows) clearly visible from the street or monitored?

✔ Do you have adequate outdoor lighting (especially motion lights)?

✔ Are there blind spots around your property where someone could hide?

✔ Are security cameras covering key areas (front door, driveway, back entrance)?

✔ Are camera systems clearly visible (deterrent effect)?

Section 2: Entry Points (Most Common Weak Spots)

✔ Are all doors solid core or metal (not hollow)?

✔ Do doors have deadbolts installed?

✔ Are strike plates reinforced with longer screws?

✔ Are windows secured with locks or sensors?

✔ Do you monitor secondary entry points (garage, side doors)?

Section 3: Surveillance & Monitoring

✔ Do you have a security system installed?

✔ Are you receiving alerts in real time (mobile notifications)?

✔ Are cameras recording and storing footage properly?

✔ Can you access your system remotely?

✔ Is your system professionally monitored or self-monitored?

Section 4: Risk Awareness

✔ Have you experienced suspicious activity in your area recently?

✔ Do you know the most common way someone could access your property?

✔ Have you had a recent move, remodel, or business change?

✔ Do employees/family members understand security basics?

Section 5: Common Mistakes People Make

❌ Relying only on cameras (no alarms or alerts)

❌ Leaving blind spots uncovered

❌ No signage indicating a security system

❌ Outdated or unused equipment

❌ No regular testing of the system

Bonus Tip

Criminals look for easy targets. Even small upgrades can make your home or business a place they avoid completely.

How observant are you?

Have you ever thought or heard someone say "I have a dog, I don't need a security system"

The unfortunate truth is while a dog might make noise, it still can't call the police.

While homes with dogs might have lower break-in rates, the best security is still a monitored system that can alert you and the authorities.

As we enjoy the long weekend and kick off the summer with family and friends, let's take a moment to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day. Wishing everyone a safe, reflective, and beautiful holiday.

May is National Bike Month, so here are a few tips to help you protect your bike during quick stops.

○ Use a quality U-Lock (not just a cable)
○ Lock both the frame and wheels
○ Park in well-lit, visible areas
● Where possible, park in view of a security camera if your bike will be out of your sight for even a couple of minutes

If you are interested in more information about security cameras for your property or business, call me today!

If you're planning to build, or maybe your contractor has started framing already, now is the time to talk security with me.

I don't want you to miss your opportunity to have a reliable security solution because you think you have waited too long and now installing the wiring has become too difficult.

Even if insulation and drywall are already done, I can still help design and install a high quality wireless security system, monitored by Federal Protection to give you the peace of mind that you deserve.

IYKYK, this is one of my favorite holidays because it reminds me to enjoy some great Mexican food.

But more importantly it commemorates Mexico's victory over the French army at the battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

France invaded Mexico in 1862, and the much smaller Mexican army defeated the French forces even though they were less equipped to do so.

This became a symbol of Mexican resilience, unity and resistance against foreign control.

So as you enjoy this holiday, remember it's not just about the food or parties, it's also our reminder that staying resilient can help us overcome what others might believe to be impossible.
