Best Residential Security Practices for Gated Communities

Gated communities offer a false sense of security if not properly managed. Best practices: 24/7 staffed entry booths with vehicle inspection, perimeter fencing that can't be easily climbed, CCTV coverage at entry/exit and common areas, random foot patrols between 10 PM and 6 AM, and a neighborhood watch app for residents to report issues. Also, require delivery drivers to verify their identity. Most breaches happen when a resident holds the gate open for someone who doesn't belong.
