People who have never had an unpleasant experience with a property-related crime might think that living in a safe area is more than enough, while a security system is yet another unnecessary expense. According to statistics gathered in the last 5-6 years, that’s far from the truth.
The most important reason why every household should install a security system is to provide a safe place for everyday life. FBI burglary statistics state that 1 in 3 homes without any kind of protection will become a victim. Unfortunately, every 4 seconds a property crime occurs. During 2015, 25 property crimes were reported per 1,000 inhabitants. From more than $12.4 billion worth stolen property, only around 26% was recovered. Because the number of security system users raised significantly in 2015, the rate of property crimes committed during this year was 2.6% lower, compared to 2014. Installing a reliable home security system provides safe ambient for family and individuals, protection for property, and valuables from potential break-ins.
