When we think about home security, it is almost automatic to think about what is a good anti-theft system that discourages unwanted intrusions: a new alarm system, armored doors, double-glazed windows. However, in reality, the security of the home is also endangered by what is inside it. So let's see what the main risks are and above all what effective solutions we can take to prevent them.
We often read news that speaks of particularly serious domestic accidents. To avoid fire hazards, which can be caused after a short electrical circuit, it is now mandatory to equip the systems with a rescue device. This is a system invented and patented by BTicino in 1965 to increase home security during the years in which the proliferation of electrical systems was becoming widespread.
Compared to the past, today technology allows us to equip ourselves with intelligent systems, such as Salvavita Stop & Go. Why smart? Because when the key Stop & Go is jumped, it immediately checks, through its self-diagnostic system, if there are real defects and in that case the power is permanently turned off. If, on the other hand, the self-diagnosis is negative, the current is immediately reactivated by the system, avoiding unpleasant disturbances. For example, you will not have to worry about finding food that has spoiled in the fridge or thawed in the fridge on your way home, or leaving your home without an active alarm system!
Among the various security systems for the home there are lightning protection, which cancel or reduce the effect of voltage surges, thus protecting decoders, televisions, computers, refrigerators and washing machines that can burn themselves due to "power outages". caused. from lightning during the storm, but also from other elements, for example from the palace elevator motor.
Other devices that are very useful in case of unforeseen events (especially in the evening / night) are emergency lamps. In addition to the classic fixed lamps, which are automatically activated in case of darkness, there are emergency lamps with removable torches, which can be used to illuminate the environment even away from the point of light. Mobile torches are especially useful for being able to move easily around the house even in the dark, waiting for the energy to be reactivated, thus minimizing disturbance.
Therefore, to secure the home and all its systems, it is essential to be equipped with the latest generation equipment, capable of protecting at all times and in the best way what we love most.
