Safeguarding your residence
Home security refers to measures protecting a residence from intrusion, theft, or damage.
This includes physical barriers like locks and fences, electronic systems with alarms and cameras, and monitoring services that alert authorities.
The term often appears in marketing: We installed a home security system after the break-in.
Home security can also mean the general state of feeling safe in one's dwelling.
