PHOENIX -- Home security systems are flying off shelves at local electronics stores this holiday season. The Best Buy at 19th Street and Camelback Road has very little inventory left, after Black Friday shoppers cleaned off the shelves.
"They look very scarce right now," said Jon Coskun, who's shopping around for home surveillance kits. He says it didn't take long to realize that he wasn't alone, since the shelves are virtually empty in the surveillance aisle. "Security is very, very important. Safety is number one with everybody's concerns," he said.
Many say it's true, a tiny lens can bring safety, security and peace of mind. "Most people tell me they had some sort of traumatic break-in, and they need something specific," said Xavier Calderon, with the Best Buy Geek Squad. "They're looking for wireless devices that can connect to something that's wireless at the same time," he said.
Bryce Nelson was shopping for two kits, one for his Valley home and another so that he can monitor what's going on nearly two thousand miles away. "I do own a home in Minnesota, I'm back and forth, so it's kind of nice to be able to check places wherever I'm at and make sure everything is good," said Nelson.
Home surveillance systems are popping up all over neighborhoods. And while some residents try to keep them discreet, others make it very clear, posting signs to notify others that they are under constant watch.
But those warnings are not always a deterrent. Joann Wood recalls a recent conversation she had with a neighbor who has surveillance cameras. "She told us the other day that a bike was missing.They left their garage door open and they saw the person on the surveillance camera," Wood said.

Home security systems flying off the shelves
Homeowners are increasingly looking to technology for home security solutions, to save on heating and cooling costs and even to help them cook the perfect steak.
In fact, 46% of consumers recently surveyed by ERA Real Estate and HGTV said it was important for their current or next home to have smart home technology. And 51% of the 2,437 consumers polled said theyd consider installing smart home technology in their home to make it more appealing to future buyers.
Smart home technology often refers to a home that is connected using the Internet. Whether we are inside the house or 1,000 miles away from the house, we can control and monitor it, said Dave Pedigo, senior director of learning and emerging technologies for the Custom Electronic Design & Installation Association.
A big reason smart home technology is becoming more mainstream: Theyre making things so user friendly, so its easy for people to adopt the technology, said Jon Ellen Snyder, a Montana real-estate broker with ERA Landmark in the Bozeman/Livingston area. It is also becoming more affordable, which helps in bringing it to the masses, she said.
Here are some of the top smart home technology products.

SPOKANE, Wash. -
Jenni-Fiere Bivens has taken home security into her own hands after a string of break-ins on her block.
It infuriates me, she said. I've lived here for 28 years, and for the last year it's come to this.
Bivens lives just east of the Northtown Mall. She says there have been at least five break-ins on her block in the past six months, and two in the last week.
Bivens says a couple months ago, she discovered someone was living in her basement. That's when she decided to amp up the security on her property.
She set up security cameras, and lined the perimeter of the home with cacti.
Imagine coming over the wall at night, she said. You know what's going to happen? You're going to get poked. You're going to scream. I'm going to hear it.
Bivens also set up dozens of booby traps inside the home.
It used to be a very quiet peaceful neighborhood, she said. If I could afford it I'd get out.
Bivens says her security measures are intended to function more as an alarm than anything. She believes there could be a situation where she comes face-to-face with a burglar, and if that happens she knows how she'll handle it.

DIY home security it seems like everyone is doing it. After being privately funded, Scout is ready to toss their hat into the ring as well. The interesting thing with Scout is that you get a bit more off-the-grid security, but still remain connected. In bridging the gap between modern hardware and software in new ways, Scout is aiming to become the new darling of the home security world. Is Scout worthy of praise, or is their system too clumsy and dated for a modern world?
When appreciating the core hardware you get with Scout, nothing stands out. Theres a hub, a motion detector, and a some door and window sensors. Its plastic, well constructed, and looks about as good as iSmartAlarms offering.
The first sign Scout wants to be taken seriously is the big protected by sign you get with the kit. Its reminiscent of the old yard signs meant to dissuade a would-be burglar.
The only other hardware youll need is your phone. Scouts app is current iOS-only, so Android fans are left wanting for now.
Scout comes in three finishes: black, white, and wood. All three options are two-tone, having a different colored core from the exterior.
Scouts app is about what youd expect, and does little more than offer a glimpse into your home security platform. Its here you can set-up, check-in, and view on.
As much as a monitor for your system, Scouts app is also a central hub. You can, with Scouts optional camera (we didnt get one for review, likely because theyre not ready yet), stream live from anywhere. You can also check on and arm/disarm your sensors, and get logged info on tripped sensors.

Home improvement retailer Home Depot is still locked into a battle over the security breach it reported in September that put 56 million credit cards at risk. However, the fight is no longer against cyber criminals, but rather consumers affected by the breach and government agencies. To date, the retailer is involved in "at least 44 civil lawsuits" in the US and Canada.
The number of legal actions that Home Depot is facing was uncovered in a November regulatory filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission. While the 44 civil suits from affected customers aren't unexpected, Home Depot says that more claims could be coming, including those on "behalf of customers, payment card brands, payment card issuing banks, shareholders or others seeking damages or other related relief, allegedly arising from the data breach." Home Depot believes that payment card issuers will make claims, the result of which could have an effect on its financial position.
Civil actions aren't the only issues that the company is dealing with, as government agencies are also conducting investigations. Home Depot believes that agencies could seek injunctive relief, something that would increase costs for security, have a negative impact on system operations and information collection, and put the company "at a competitive disadvantage with other retailers."
"We are also facing investigations by a number of state and federal agencies. These claims and investigations may adversely affect how we operate our business, divert the attention of management from the operation of the business and result in additional costs and fines," reads the filing.
For investors there is some silver lining, as the company took out a $100 million insurance policy for network security and privacy liability before the intrusion occurred. Under the insurance policy the Home Depot has a $7.5 million deductible, but at this time it only believes $15 million will be reimbursable. So far, the Home Depot has spent $43 million in relation to the breach. However, the company indicates that the full cost of the incident is still unknown.
Even with $43 million spent on the breach, the Home Depot was able to achieve growth in its third quarter results. For the period ending November 2, the company saw a 5.2 percent sales growth year-over-year. Customer transactions were up by 11.1 million compared to 2013, with a total of 355.4 million.
The filing does give some additional clues to the how intrusion occurred. According to Home Depot, the intruder used the user name and password of a vendor to "enter the perimeter of the company's network." Afterward, the intruder was able to gain elevated system rights to access other network areas in order to "deploy unique, custom-built malware" in the Home Depot's self-checkout systems.

Home Depot faces 44 civil lawsuits from breach, spent $43M on fallout
Home Retail Group(HOME)had a torrid time after the recession. With Argos struggling for several years, it was relying on Homebase to keep growing. However, the tide has turned and Argos has become one of the most promising brands on the high-street, while Homebase is suffering in a challenging market.
To ensure some security, Home Retail is revamping Homebase. It admits in its recent half-year results that the DIY chain suffers from "inconsistent store operating standards and a large estate with low sales densities that result in a challenged financial model."
That's why there will be a significant reduction and streamlining of the business - 30 stores are expected to close in the next financial year, with the aim of reducing its estate size by 25% by the end of FY2018 (roughly 80 store closures).
This is anticipated to result in a smaller, more secure company.
However, analysts at Citi Research believe that this could result in significant costs to an already struggling business, noting that there are "only 65 Homebase stores coming up for lease expiry or renewal over the next three years." This could result in "a high degree of paid lease exits."
UBS is of a similar mind-set, stating that "gross margins could remain down given clearance costs from closures."
The rapid growth of online retailing in the home improvement sector seems to be the driving force behind the store closures. With consumers now more inclined towards a simpler shopping process - the click and collect method - it is becoming unnecessary to maintain warehouse sized stores. This already seems to be influencing sales at Homebase, with the first-half report highlighting a 46% increase in mobile device visits, partially helped by increase in use of the "reserve and collect" scheme. This resulted in a 12% "multi-channel" sales increase, now accounting for 7% of Homebase total sales.
But it is not just Homebase that is suffering from shifting consumer preferences. Kingfisher's(KGF) B&Q also has to reduce its estate portfolio, although it plans to reduce store size rather than quantity through its "Right size Right place" scheme. Parallel to this plan will be an increased emphasis on "Click, Pay and Collect", similar to Homebase's new strategy.
Travis Perkins'(TPK) Wickes brand is also downgrading its estate, as it too looks to embrace the online revolution.
It seems to be Kingfisher's Screwfix is the only DIY home improvement retailer to excel at the moment, announcing 23% growth in half-year sales. However, due to its appeal to smaller tradesmen, it is difficult to analyse how much of its success is down to the public's shopping preferences.
