A business or home security system is an important investment. Note that with today’s technology, security systems should be wireless, easy to use, and robust in offerings. And consider, good security systems are not just protecting things; they can provide peace of mind in a number of ways. A top five list of “Why get a security system” includes:
- The obvious – Protecting home and family, or your business, from intruder break-ins and burglary. According to “Securing Home and Business” by Simon Hakim and Erwin Blackstone, homes without security systems are 2.7 times more likely to be targeted by a burglar. Oftentimes, the mere presence of an alarm system is enough to deter a break-in.
Protection from carbon monoxide poisoning as today’s systems have detectors that signal the presence of the colorless, odorless gas, and that contact emergency services. - Like the above, protection from fire and smoke is another asset to a security system. Monitored security systems will not only warn of the presence of smoke in the home, but they will also warn home occupants of sources of heat and contact the authorities.
- Protecting your valuables goes hand in hand with number one. According to statistics, there were over 4000 burglaries in Portland, OR in 2013 alone. And in the US, it is estimated that there are some two and a half million burglaries annually. A commercial or home security system can not only deter a criminal from adding your items to their ranks, but the video monitoring can catch them in the act, aiding police and you in recovering your stolen goods.
- Financial Savings are often overlooked when considering a security system, but they shouldn’t be. Savings can be twofold with home security systems. First, with home automation you can save money by reducing energy consumption, controlling your lights, thermostat and energy usage with the tap of a finger. Secondly, homeowners’ insurance often offers discounts for functioning alarm systems in the home, sometimes as high as 20%. Make sure your insurance company knows you have a home security system and see what deals they offer.
