How People Can Adjust To Life In The City

By Bryce A Lukkas


Personal safety begins inside the house, my mother usually used to say. It had been a surprise for me, after being raised within a small town where people knew everyone, to transfer towards the big city where we had to become careful who we talked to or made friends with and about the community we lived in. I was not used to this but obedience was deeply ingrained in me.

Thus, I listened to an aunt, who earlier moved to the city and understood not everyone was friendly here. She said to acquire even a simple house alarm system. In this way, I could become alerted to the presence of an intruder or, even better, scare off a possible burglar.

Commonly, these are tools set up at doors or windows, which give off a loud signal as soon as motion is found and the system is triggered. The alarm, which can be over 100dB, may continue to keep beeping for at least twenty seconds or until it is turned off.

I was leasing an apartment garage and my landlady was an elderly girl who required protecting herself. I did my own personal research and ended up selecting an intruder alarm with RF remote control. Having two good-sized windows easily reached by a ladder, I felt better with such a security alarm system.

Unless it was a home invasion, it was not likely that I needed to turn off alarms from three different sections of my modest living space with a click of the remote. But that is another thing this RF alarm system is able to do.

That comes with a main unit and magnetic strip which are set up on a doorframe or window. Any person opening either entryway is going to be blown away by the 110dB signal which will undoubtedly go off. And I could disarm it even if I am in some other part of the apartment.

With one more alarm sensor of it affixed to the window, I feel very safe in my little nesting place.

And, considering that I have a personal protection device in the home, I know mother is a lot less worried since I am not completely powerless in the event of emergencies.
