Keep the Gun in Its Case for Now

Living alone in a house as a woman, or with just you and your kids, can be quite frightening. Well, unless you’re a brawler like Ronda Rousey, or a shooter like Julie Golob. Although you may possesses a gun, or an ADT alarm, the idea of an unknown person forcing their way inside of your home can definitely keep you from having a peaceful sleep at night. Well, ladies and some gentleman, there is a way to sleep a little easier at night. Let’s go scare off some burglars while lying comfortably under the covers in our warm and cozy beds. Shall we?

Now that technology is so advanced in this day in age, we can now live a lot safer in our homes. There are plenty of us who are already on board for high tech and advanced security. While some of us are still a little behind, or just haven’t found the right method to scare off a burglar. And, that’s fine. No worries.

There are two items you will need to pull off this trick for scaring off a burglar without using a gun. You’ll need a

Motion Sensor Alarm, Wireless Security Driveway Alarm, Home Motion Sensor Detect Alert

$34.99

and you’ll need a…

Philips Hue White and Color LED Smart Button Starter Kit

$179.99

These two products will work together to accomplish your goal of sending a burglar on their way without annoyingly waking up your neighbors, like with screaming or letting off a few rounds from a gun.

Once your infrared motion sensor of your motion sensor alarm is in place and working properly after testing it, whenever someone steps a foot inside of your sensored zone, you’ll get a notification wherever your receiver is positioned. This notification is loud enough to awake you at the very instance it rings. You are able to set the receiver to 38 different ringtones. So, choose the one that is most annoying.

The receiver detects signals up 328 feet, which is nearly longer than a NFL football field. This means that you can visit a neighbor’s home two to three houses down the street and still get the notification that someone has entered your sensored zone. You can even place the receiver in a window seal, which can ring and light up right where the burglar can actually see and hear it clearly. If this method alone fails to scare the burglar away, you can then use the Philips Hue White and Color LED Smart Button Starter Kit to successfully get the job done.

Once the motion sensor alarm detects movement in your front or back yard, and you’ve awaken from your sleep, you can then make a move on the perpetrator. With the smart button of the Philips Hue White and Color LED starter kit lying right on your nightstand, or in the kitchen, you are able to control all of the lights that are connected to its control within your house with just one click. Certainly, when the burglar witnesses all of your lights cutting on in your home he is sure to run away. If he still doesn't leave at this point, then certainly you have a weapon ready for an attack.
