Most of us are aware of the uses of the security systems that are available in this world today. However how many of us have a security systems installed at home. Traditionally, people also had electric fences in their fields. Electric fences are far more dangerous and are banned in most of the places. People who live in a particular area may be aware that the fences are electrocuted. However for a person who is visiting a place for the first time may not identify the same. Lots of people have lost their lives due to this reason. Apart from these electric fences being used in the fields, these were commonly fixed by people who live in forest areas. Their motive in fixing these fences was to protect themselves from wild animals. Most of these areas were not noted by the forest department initially; hence people had the liberty to fix these fences in their area. Over a period of time, due to loss of life, these fences have been brought under the scrutiny either by the governments or various departments in concern.

Today, we have many kinds of security systems that have replaced these electric fences. However, there ...
... are people in different corners in this world who still use electric fences. Probably some of these are under-developed economic sectors of the world or even developing sectors of the economy. These people wouldn’t have the sufficient facilities to install these advanced security systems. May be these are yet to the reach of the people who are far residing from the cities.

The modern day security systems for example the ADT Home Security systems have many features. Meaning these cannot be compared to the electric fences that were used earlier. There features does not harm a person when installed. However, the owner is alerted when an uninvited guest reaches our home. In case you feel the person is quite important to you in your life, and you are away from your home. You are alerted through a sms or a beep or through various other methods. However, you can still inform your guest at that instant that you are away from your home. Your guest can also decide what need to be done for that moment. You can also give an access, so that he or she waits patiently for you in your home.

With the illustration stated above, we understand the modern day security systems are user friendly and does not kill an animal or a person. The advanced security system without having most of its features included and just having an alarm system for instance can alert when a person or a thing tries to enter your premises. While on the other hand the electric fences harms instead of alerting. While both these can be connect to electric networks, the traditional electric fences are more expensive than the others. Since the electric fences consume a huge amount of electricity, it is quite hard to sustain its power when there is power cut. While the advanced security systems that we use in the modern day have many features, we can enable either one of its feature. Through this, we can cut down the consumption of power, while the other features are disabled, and still stay protected even during a power cut for a few hours. With all these advantages, we now understand that we don’t require electric fences with shocks installed, this harmful for people. Instead we can start procuring many other security devices that are available. All these have been brought about with the advancement of technology. There are many features and you can procure the feature that suits you the best.
