 The FBI Uniform Crime Report shows that burglary occurs in the United States every 12 seconds.
While it is not possible to anticipate when or where a burglary will happen, statistics show that a home with a security system is six times less likely to be burglarized than a home without a system. A business with an alarm system is three times less likely to be burglarized than an unmonitored facility.
The reason for the dramatic preventive benefits of an alarm system is that they increase the burglar's fear of being caught and convicted. Burglars commonly canvass a neighborhood looking for properties which do not have visible signs of an alarm system.
The benefits of an alarm system are recognized by home insurers. Installing a monitored security system may reduce your homeowners' insurance premiums by up to 20%. These savings can often pay for the cost of your monitoring services.
Your system can be configured to alert you to other household problems such as flooding caused by broken pipes or appliances and to report entry and exit times by specific members of your household.
There are a variety of components which can be used to customize your system to your exact security and fire alert needs.
