Consumer Update
Home Security Systems |
A burglary occurs every thirteen seconds in the United States. Luckily we live at a time when you don't have to leave your home and loved ones vulnerable.
You can keep tabs on your front door, know your belongings and loved ones are safe, and have peace of mind and rest easy from anywhere at anytime. With a home security system that's accessible on your phone or tablet 24/7, you will always know everything is okay.
|
Best of all, these systems are easy to set-up, affordable, and have incredible features that protect your home in multiple ways.

This is what one of us wrote on this site a year ago- Most burglaries take place through open doors and open windows. In a third of the completed burglaries, the burglar forced entry into the home; in two thirds, the burglar gained entry through an unlocked door or open window.
This observation was based on Bureau of Justice Statistics data (BJS-of the US Department of Justice).
Now we find that a new document from the Bureau of Justice Statistics repeats this warning the issue of unlocked doors and windows remains with us. In the category of unlawful entry (versus forcible entry) we find that overwhelmingly, the principle method of entry was through an open door or open window.
As to forcible entry, the obvious points of entry are doors and windows.
This is what we wrote in our crime prevention overview (link above) When force is used, burglars kick in a door. Have solid wood or metal doors.
There are many additional suggestions, and once again, you will find them all at http://www.ncjrs.gov/celebrate_safe_communities/sfhasp.html . See Home Security Checklist from the National Sheriffs Association.
