Think you don't need a home security system? Think again. Here are the statistics: - Only about 15% of American homes have a security system. This means there is a very good chance that right now, you are living in one of the 85% of homes without security.
- 3 out of 4 homes will be broken into within the next 20 years. Burglaries occur at a rate of about 1 every 13-14 seconds.
- Homes without security systems are 3 times more likely to be targeted than those with security.
- 60% of burglaries attempted on homes with a security system are unsuccessful.
- 85% of police officers believe home security systems help deter burglars.
The conclusion is clear: Having a home security system will protect your home from burglaries by deterring potential criminals and by thwarting the efforts of those who won't be deterred. Now that you know you need security, you just need to find the best security system in Chester, PA. When shopping for a system that is right for you and your home, consider the following: - Monitoring - Do you want your system to be professionally monitored, or do you want to do it yourself? In the past, professional monitoring was a requirement for any system to be truly effective, but today, with smartphone technology, it is possible to monitor your own system.
- Coverage - What do you want to monitor? A burglar alarm will only sound an alarm when sensors on doors and windows detect an intruder. A full security system will detect environmental dangers as well, such as flooding, fire, and carbon monoxide.
- Wired or wireless - Traditional systems are wired into your home and, thus, generally require professional installation. Sensors are placed around the home that are connected to a central control unit via low-voltage wires. Wireless systems use radio transmitters rather than wires to communicate with the control unit. They are easier to install and conducive to a DIY project. Both systems have back up in case of power outages, dead batteries, or cut wires.
The best security system in Chester, PA, is only a phone call away. Don't wait another day to secure your home and family.
