Home Security Misconceptions

When it comes to home security systems, there are many different measures to can take to protect your property. Unfortunately, some homeowners have false impressions about home security, leaving them at risk. To ensure that you are safeguarding your home and loved ones properly, review these common misconceptions about home security.

• Home security is too expensive.
  The security market has grown over the years, offering a wide range of security and surveillance options suitable for any budget. In addition, some insurance companies offer discounts for home security systems, thus increasing your savings and the value of your system.

• Your neighborhood is already safe.
  Even the safest neighborhood can become a target. Protect your home from possible intruders, vandals, or even arson.

• I have a dog.
  While pets can act as a security measure, they can also become a liability. Your pet could be injured during a break-in or may even be stolen. And while there are stories of pets saving their owners from house fires, they cannot protect your home and valuables from fire damage.

• Hardwiring my home is difficult.

• Alarm systems are unreliable.
  Since inception, alarm system technology has advanced, minimizing false alarms and improving overall performance. Because alarm systems use unique radio signals, interference is minimized, thus enhancing reliability.

• Intruders can outsmart an alarm.
  If your alarm is not installed properly, this may be likely. But modern alarm and security camera systems are so advanced, burglars would not know where to start. Also, the more complex your system, the harder it will be to disarm.

• My neighborhood watch program keeps us safe.
  The neighborhood watch does not operate around the clock. When they are not watching, your home is vulnerable to potential dangers.

• Insurance can replace my stuff.
  Insurance may replace what is lost, stolen or damaged, but they cannot restore your peace of mind after a home invasion. A home security and alarm system can help you rest easier.

• I use expensive lock systems in my house.
  Locks are only one layer of a comprehensive security system. These locks can be broken or bypassed with enough determination. Should these become compromised, you should have backup security measures in place.

• Authorities cannot respond in time anyway.
  Response times may vary, however, police and other emergency responders can respond to alerts in a matter of minutes.
