Home Security Systems - Will You Be A Statistic?

Every year, Americans report two million residential burglaries. One home burglary occurs every 13 seconds. We often hear about some one's home being broken I, if we haven't experienced it ourselves. Surprisingly, some still do not make an effort to protect themselves. Studies show that properties that have a home security system are 300% less likely to be broken into than a home without one. The burglar of a home with a security system is more likely to get caught because the authorities were notified promptly. Yet only 17% of homes in the United States have protection. Installing a security system in your home is a no brainer.

Alarm systems do more than just send a signal to the local police when it detects an intruder, they can also call the local fire department when a smoke detector or carbon monoxide detector is alarming. Most deadly fires occur when the residents are away or sleeping. State of the art security systems allow you to remotely control your entire home. Control the climate. Turn lights on and off. Even lock doors that were left unlocked. You can do all of these things right from a computer or mobile phone with internet access.

There are a number of reasons why someone would not want to get a home security system. Some older people feel that their neighborhood is safe and since they had not experienced any issue that they will not in the future. Homes of senior citizens are often targeted by burglars. There are other advantages, like the ability to have a panic button for medical emergencies. This alone can justify having a security system in the home of a senior citizen.

Others want to cut costs and are not fond of a the monthly monitoring fee associated with alarm systems. This is an understandable concern in our current economy. Consider the savings incurred by having the service. Insurance companies offer a discount for having these services at the property. If a burglary does occur, the homeowner will pay a deductible before being reimbursed for the depreciated value of items stolen or damaged. Imagine a fire, where everything is lost. No amount of money can replace the sentimental value of items and the home itself.

Acquiring a security system is very simple and can be tailored to fit any household budget. An investment in an alarm system is an investment in your peace of mind, safety, and also saves money in more ways than one.
