Home security might not be the most interesting topic to cover with your family, but it’s a necessary conversation that you have to cover. If you’re trying to figure out how to protect your belongings without bringing attention to them, check out some of these cool security gadgets. Not only will they conceal your belongings, but they will do it in the sneakiest ways.
Fake rocks that are meant to hide an extra set of your house keys are cliché. Plus, it’s pretty easy for a burglar to detect these in your yard. An alternative is the Sprinkler Hide-a-Key, which camouflages your keys in what appears to be an inground sprinkler. Since the container is made from water-tight plastic, you can put money or even an emergency USB drive in it along with a set of house or car keys.
Do you have expensive jewelry in your bedroom? If so, this is the first place a burglar is going to look for it. Although there are wall and floor safes, these are more obvious options for storing your possessions. Instead you can put your valuables in the Hidden Wall Safe, which looks like a standard light switch. This safe comes with everything you need to install it, and you can even change the pug cover to match the other ones in the room. Or you can invest in a Book Vault, which is a book that has been hollowed out so you can store smaller items in plain sight. The dimension of the storage space is 6-1/2’’L x 4’’W x 3’’D. This is perfect if you already have a library of books, because what burglar is going to go through each and every book on the off chance that you have a hidden safe?
Even if your expensive possessions include USB drives, you should still protect them, because they most likely have personal information on them. The USB 8GB Flash Drive Lighter is designed to look like a simple metal lighter, but when you flip open the bottom, it exposes the flash drive, which can be inserted into your computer. Oh, and it also functions as a lighter, so you can refill the lighter and adjust the flame too. This product comes with a USB cable as well.
Protecting your personal information and valuable items doesn’t require a month’s paycheck or even careful planning. All you need to do is add gadgets similar to these to your home so you have “built-in” security measures.
