Keep an Eye on the Crooks! Install a Burglar Alarm System for Your Home or Office

With the high property crime rates in Houston, it may be time to consider adding a burglar alarm system to your home.
HOUSTON - Feb. 19, 2018 - PRLog -- Commercial burglar alarm systems have been used to secure offices, work sites, and retail locations for years. Now they are increasingly popular for private home use. In Houston, property crime rates are nearly double the national median, and many residents are considering adding extra security to their homes. But do burglar alarms really work?

Survey says 'yes'
The short answer is yes. The University of North Carolina-Charlotte recently surveyed convicted burglars and found that 60% assessed on-property security measures before deciding to break into a home. Half of those survey respondents would never break into a home that had active burglar alarm systems in place. Additional research out of the United Kingdom confirms those results. In the UK study, 2/3 of burgled homes had no security measures in place whatsoever at the time of the crime. The takeaway is that the best security systems have many layers, from deadbolt locks to securing windows and garage doors and implementing an alarm system that works to protect your home.

Many alarm systems are configured as a simple circuit, and when someone enters your home, the circuit is broken. If that person doesn't have a code to disarm the system, the system then notifies you and the authorities. Other alarm systems are based on motion detection at your home's entry points. When motion is detected, you and the authorities are notified. In either case, the biggest deterrent for potential burglars is the immediate notification to police.

We help clients determine which option is the right fit, from full initial installation to noninvasive solutions. We're licensed alarm technicians in the state of Texas and are able to offer comprehensive service for less. In many cases, we replace existing vendors because our services are lower.

Additional Security Measures
Your garage door is your home's largest entryway. With garage door control, you can see the status of your door and—if necessary—close it by pressing one button, even if you're already far away. You might also consider wireless locks. You can create specific keycodes for entry for a babysitter, a housekeeper, a pet-sitter, and individual family members, further controlling entry to your home.
