Thinking like a burglar
When I first started my search for home security and safety, I was instructed to “think like a burglar.” The problem is, I don’t know what that means. How can I prevent a home invasion if I’m unsure of how it really occurs?
Here are a few tips to maintaining your safety:
Is anyone home?
- Many burglars will come to your front door, knocking to see if anyone is home. If the knock goes unanswered, they may try to turn the doorknob to check if it is locked. It takes a burglar less than 60 seconds to gain access through the front door.
Does the home have an SMART TECH SECURITY home security system?
- In our recent blogs, we have mentioned time and time again the importance of owning an SMART TECH SECURITY home alarm system. From the yard sign to cameras, it is always best to have your home secured with a monitored alarm system.
- FBI statistics show, your home is less desirable to burglars simply by having a yard sign in view.
- SMART TECH SECURITY offers a variety of options for equipment that will best suit your needs.
- Camera systems are becoming increasingly more popular. With today’s quality video footage, police are able to solve more burglaries and home invasion crimes with the help of our SMART TECH SECURITY Pulse Home Automation.
Will anyone notice?
- Convenient features of an SMART TECH SECURITY home security system allow homeowners the ability to control outside and inside lighting. Dark and quiet homes are a primary target. With a quick click of a button, you could appear to be home even when you aren’t.
