Security system or security screens

Hi,

I had a chat with a friend of mine and they think that you either install one or the either but it doesn't make sense to install both. From my perspective security screens deter from outside and the security system detects once someone is already inside. Am I missing anything here?

Thanks

One OR the other? Rubbish. Both enhance security. The two together are twice as good as one or the other. It is not rocket science but it is also costly to have both and cheapest out of the two would be alarm I would think if you could install system yourself. A crimesafe genuine screen door for a standard 820mm wide door is about $900.

The security system detects someone is already inside? That tired old argument? Most systems have vibration alarms on windows so given the usual method ingress is through a broken window the minute the offender starts hitting the window off goes the alarm - before they are inside.

Good points goody59 and Althom

Totally personal choice.
