Monitored Burglar Alarms - Fight Professional Burglars With Professionals Of Your Own

4 March, 2010

The economy is down, tempers sometimes flare as a result, people panic and get nervous about how they’re going to make ends meet, and in case you’re wondering if crime rates are on the increase – particularly home burglaries – the answer's yes. Property crime rates are rising along with the rest of the crime statistics, and for this reason alone, now is the time for you to have a monitored home security burglar alarm professionally installed in your house.

Monitored home security burglar alarm systems are specially designed to protect homes and families from a variety of dangers, including home invasions and home burglaries. If you’re wondering if there’s really much of a difference between a home security burglar alarm system that is monitored and one that isn’t, consider this: professional burglars are very skilled at their tradecraft, so shouldn’t you really be fighting them off with professional home security monitoring experts who are very skilled at what they do?

Many people make the mistake of doing just enough to feel like they’re preventing a potential break-in, or worse, pretending that a home burglary will never happen to them, but experience teaches that those people are living with a false sense of security, which is even more dangerous.  Homes that do not have adequate safety measures are easy pickings for professional burglars, and in these tough times their numbers are on the rise. Some studies show that homes without a home security burglar alarm system installed have as much as three times the chance of being burglarized versus homes with a professionally installed home security burglar alarm system. Making it hard on burglars is what will have them passing on your house, and looking for an easier target elsewhere.

When you are putting together a home security burglar alarm system for your house, be sure to consider such options as two-way voice communication, monitored door and window sensors, interior motion detectors, wireless security cameras, and exterior lighting designed to detect motion around your property.

In addition to these home security burglar alarm components, there are several things you can do around your property to increase the chances of deterring a would-be burglar. Install heavy duty, case hardened deadbolt locks on all your exterior doors. Make certain you’re using strong sash locks on every window. Keep your shrubs and bushes trimmed and free from clutter, and make certain you never leave a spare key to your house under a doormat, plant pot, or rock. Burglars look there every time, and you might be surprised how often they find what they’re looking for.

Don’t leave your home security to chance. Professional burglars know every trick of the trade when it comes to getting into and out of homes fast. Make the choice to have an ADT monitored home security system professionally installed today, and fight professionals with professionals.
