Japanese Home Security

So, you have just moved to Japan and bought a house but are worried about burglars aiming for your huge collection of figures, gundams and Candy Girls - what do you do?

Well you can do what a load of other home owners in Japan do and hire the security services of a company like Alsok.
Starting from a laughable 4,000 yen, you can order the Home Security 7 plan and have your house transformed into the state of the art fortress equipped with the latest sensors which will detect movement, fires, opening windows, farts, a light to illuminate your entrance (...) and most importantly an Alsok sticker that you can stick on your window to scare off potential burglars/assailants.

All equipment is controlled by a central electo plasmic vertex membrane (plastic control panel) and as you can see from the diagram below, (larger version at Alsok) the triggered sensors around the house can be set to alert Alsok's emergency bridge full of trained ninjas disguised as operators who will either call the police or send a man in a plastic hat with a stick. You can also call them manually by hitting an emergency button.
You would think that Alsok would get in trouble for false advertising - the photo below shows how many are supposed to turn up when alerted.
If you want more security then paying 7,000 yen per month will get you the Home Security X7 plan which includes all of the above, a gas cloud detector, button to mobilize doctors for when you've had too much spicy food, a "Life Rhythm" device which will alert Alsok if your toilet door has remained closed for more than a certain period of time (incase you die from smelling your own shite).

X7 also includes cameras which will take pictures of suspicious persons around your house and send the images to your mobile phone, cameras to take pictures of your house which will be sent to your mobile and devices to detect if the security line to Alsok is cut.
I can imagine a scenario. You are abroad on holiday enjoying the sun and sea on the beach when you get a picture sent to your mobile of somebody entering your house - or even worse - a picture of a person leaving your house with a ton of your belongings ^^;

The only people I personally know who have these are American folks living in Japan. One of them tells me how they only have 10 seconds to deactivate the defense systems in the house before it automatically alerts Alsok ^^;

Are there security firms like Alsok in your region? Do you/would you hire their services to "protect" your home and family?

The image above shows how the Alsok guards are taught how to do sentai poses to scare off burglars.

Alsok also have a bunch of security robots which do things like put out fires, take video and use up a load of electricity.
Alsok also have other security related products like Computer Monitoring for bosses who cant trust his/her own employees.

The Computer Monitoring will cost that boss 17,325 yen annually per monitored machine. A log is produced for each monitored machine which includes...
  • Machine on/off time, login/logout time
  • All software used
  • All USB devices that were attached to the machine
  • All documents printed
  • Current mail status (send/receive) and all files attached
  • All sites visited/how long etc
  • Name of files uploaded/downloaded via P2P software
  • Name of files being sent by FTP
When I first heard of the Computer Monitoring service that was announced by Alsok this month I thought "wow."
Employers would probably find it cheaper learning how to employ people they trust instead.

Alsok say that this product is great for employers to prevent theft of intellectual property - what do you think? What would you do if you found out that your computer was being monitored in this way at work? is your machien already monitored?
When Alsok's guards cant scare off burglars with their sentai poses or sticks, they grab each other and do some Boys Love scenes which scares off 70% of the evil assailant.

Photos in this article taken from Kosei Inoue-san's blog who you can see in the CM below.
Apart from sticks, Alsok's guards also can sing to scare off burglars.

I'm just afraid I will lockup myself. Like if the equipment fails. Everything will go like haywire.

Or worst still, my own cameras catch me doing weird things. Then somehow it gets circulated on the internet. 

Or some hacker gains control... ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh helpz me... LOL!

I think I'll stick to the traditional method of home security.

I don't need such famcy-mancy security whatchamacallits! I prefer to secure my house my own way rather than hire some company to do it for me. Who knows, maybe THEY'RE setting this up and they're actually putting these machines into your home so that they can monitor your every movement and find out everything about you and use it against you! O_o

Maybe a fingerprint scanning device on the front door is enough XD

Maybe I do need it here in the Philippines. I mean, criminals can be armed from knives to M-16 rifles! Commonly, when the police capture some criminal, he usually has a knife, an illegally-owned gun and a grenade... now that I think about it... this security network is not enough if it were available here! lol XD

Another reason why I'm a firm believer in legally owning a firearm and the right to conceal-carry said firearm and to use previously referenced firearm in self defense--competently.  Besides, I hardly qualify someone running around in something that looks clunky and noisy with a moderate sized stick worth much protection nor do I like the thought of allowing others to monitor myself either or have faith in an ad campaign designed around a black belt running and posing with the prospective security force whom I would not trust more than a Private First Class of mine to do on a daily basis.

Exactly my point. That's why I'm planning to own a gun when I get the money and when I'm old enough. I feel that I'm in danger everytime I go outside. I myself have witnessed a crime in action but it wasn't the istabyouwithknife kind of crime. Nonetheless, if I were a victim of a crime I'll definitely fight back. Sadly I feel that I'm too weak to defend myself despite the fact that I do karate and was enrolled in ROTC and CAT.

I'd be more worried about them breaking things in the house as they storm in lol~ And I think the home owners would be scared off by the boys love scenes too so I'd reckon they still need some fine-tuning of their services xD;
No security systems needed in my area, it's fairly quiet.

No need for that; I can buy and place a couple of good locks myself methinks. Wouldn't know if it is even necessary: how is the burglar rate in Japan?
About the computer monitoring: don't need it, would never use it, but have had to deal with it, especially in highschool. They kept blocking all the 'good' sites (and even non-ero ones), so you couln't even relax when your homework was long done.

We commonly use dogs here to deter potential burglars. Big dogs barking (or attacking) at the burglar can alert the people nearby.

it's a bit too much isn't it?

i mean, yeah, sure the price is quite moderate....but isn't this a tad excessive?!?!?!?
7000 Yen??... sure, sign me up.
But from what i can gather, the overal crime/burglary rate is already considerably low in Japan (compared with other countries)

It's a great resource....but it seems like it's aimed for a niche market....like rich people...with stuff worth protecting...with a platoon of ninjas

What happened to big keys/locks and doors? Sounds like a very paranoid Japanese man with too much time on his hands though it up ^_^ Do people seriously buy the stupid things? I can understand the motion detectors etc, but everything else is a bit OTT in my opinion, I'd rather hire a security guard.

I don't think this is really required to prevent burglary, that is just way too much security.
It's very safe here I guess... never had a break-in, only have heard of 2 cases of break-ins in my area. With a good neighborhood, a motion-sensor alarm would suffice. Every household is required by law to have smoke-alarms here. just hope that the neighbours are kind and willing enough to call the police/fire service when the alarm goes off.

I can just imagine Alsok people turning on the cameras remotely and having a nice laugh at what some of their clients are doing.

The security at my office is pretty tight. A determined intruder would probably have no problem getting in, but he'll set off so many freaking alarms the police will be all waiting for him when he tries to get out. I suppose Alsok is aiming at something like that.

The security and monitoring technology are pretty advanced these days. Security cameras can even automatically detect suspicious behavior and alert a human operator. Computers also make it very easy for employers to know exactly what employees are doing. It's a given that companies will spy on their employees.

Yeah, I think I'll just stick with locking my doors... spend the rest on home and contents insurance.

I've seen friends' houses with all the whizz bang gadgetry, and as far as I can tell all it does is make life difficult when you come home and just want to collapse into bed.  I don't think the little sticker even makes that much of a detterent.  One set of friends had something similar to this mob "looking after" them and their place got knocked over three times.

Are they really dressed in that SWAT team gear? If yes it's quite impressive for a home protection company.

Isn't Japan like quite safe? Would people actually need or want such services? It's not common to find such services in Singapore. It's relatively safe here. Prolly only the landed houses carries a burglar alarm when someone tries to break in. Personally, I have a heat sensor and panic alarm at home.

The security robots looks just lame? No Gundams, Gurren-Laganns or Valkyries?

My home has two security systems:
1. A smoke detector.
2. A four-legged, mobile, semi-intelligent security system that sometimes makes barking noises. Though it probably wouldn't scare off anyone. It's far more likely that burglars would laugh too hard about it to be able to do anything.

It's pretty safe here so we don't need a company like Alsok. The worst thing that ever happened to us is that someone stole our rotary clothesline.

LOL this is too much. People have tried to break into my apartment before and even I think this is excessive. I just have giant bolts on my door, and these metal plate thingys (I don't know what they are called) that prevent a crowbar getting into the door. Also have locks on my deck, and a smoke detector. When we had a car it go broken into all the time and the car before that got torched in the apartment parking lot by some crazy person. So I'm more worried about the weirdos in our building than getting all those security items lol

Over here, at least in the vecinity, there is no dire need of such services in homes. I do have this type of security service at my store, but at home not so much. Dogs work ok there, and burglars, if they dare enter my house, a beating will solve it no prob. A friend of mine found a guy inside his car. He went to the guy, took him out and just beat the crap out of the guy. Most of these guys are crackheads, so a beating is more than enough for your security. How bad are they here in town? If a guy gets close to you, just say, boy if you don't want to get a beating, just go away. Lol, they will turn around and leave ASAP lol. There are however the very tough type, in which case you just ask someone else to help you beat them down =P. Long comment, gomen.

No, employers in Germany can't monitor their employees like that. There are laws against that in this country. A German supermarket chain tried something like that with their employees, even going so far to hire a private detective to monitor their private life. End of the story was a nation wide scandal and no more monitoring, except for the monitoring that is set up for (and only for) scaring of and tracing shoplifters and other thiefes.

If the fines that companies have to face for breaking such laws weren't as laughable they wouldn't dare to do this. It's not just a single supermarket chain doing such things. A lot of companies in various economic sectors are doing this like fast food chains, furniture retailers or food companies.
Additionally, it hardly happens that they have to actually pay the fine even after being caught red-handed.

Well, that's the other side of the coin, and it's a friggin huge one too (bends time and

Of course, the easy way would be to employ a company like Alsok. I just wished the package included an automatic turret.

My house is equipped with security equipment, but not with all those stuff, only with motion sensors, and its enough. But most of the houses in my area are protected, when the value of the house and its content reaches a certain amount, if you have house insurance, they make you protect it. Guess that the insurance company don't want to pay you a load of money if you are robed.

They still lack: Bullet proof assault vehicles, bullet proof vests, grenade launchers, semi-automatic weapons, attack dogs, rifles, helicopters and tracking devices on cars and bikes.
But all of that will be useless unless they have a response time of under 5 minutes since the thieves can bypass all of the systems and empty a house in 10.

Well, lets see, I work on security and know a lot about this, and I can tell you all that any security system have lacks.Can pass 2 minutes betwen the alarm advise, and the most close patrol appears in the place. Same for detetors, cameras, and stuff, if the robber escapes, eveything else is a waste. And the robot stuff don`t looks reliable...

Guess all this suits for japanese criminals, but in other country bulgars are more hostile. An advise: Security is prevention, there is no other better security system that prevent thing to happen.

Nah. Japan without security would still be like 100x safer than Brazil with the latest piece of security equipment.

And right now I'm living in an apartment alone with no security apart from the regular stuff.
Back at my home we have monitored alarm system though.

But would be awesome to have super sentai alarm systems. XD
I wonder if they have power bazooka or something. :P

That's all well and good Alsok, but what I need is assurances against stealthy ninja assassins constantly tryin to get me. Until you do I have no use for you. 

Our dojo does have security in place, but it is more of a deterrent than anything else.

Although I like the price for the package, I would not use the service. In the future, I will have top notch security in my home (compound, cough) to protect my schtuff. Now that the United States Supreme Court has ruled on the US Constitution's 2nd Ammendmant, I can now have firearms legally in my home and shoot. Good stuff, will have a gun in the home instead.

How about a mine field and spring guns around the house? And if you have a little cash to spare just buy a spy satellite that will roast intruders with it's laser.

A few traps (Indiana Jones-style) near the entrance won't hurt (you) either. Then your home should be safe as long as there's no false alarm. :)

The robots seem a bit sluggish. So does every squad that answers to your calls include a karate master? That would be great to see him doing sentai poses, though I'm pretty sure such poses only look good when viewed through dramatic camera angles.

Home security around here isn't uncommon, but not everyone has it. However, they usually just monitor your burglar, fire and carbon monixide alarms and inform the authorities in case of any problems. Most people don't have security guards like that on call, lol.
