Having effective security systems installed at your home, is incredibly beneficial for keeping your house secured and intruders out. CCTV will enable you to keep an eye on any suspicious activity, while an alarm can alert you if anyone attempts to gain forced entry to your home. These positives are obvious reasons for wanting to take measures such as the examples mentioned, but the benefits go even further than this! Evidence has proved that people with easily visible security appliances at their home, are much less likely to even be targeted by burglars.
It is actually estimated that around just 40% of the United Kingdom’s population have a burglar alarm installed. This is a shocking figure to us, given the countless pros of having an alarm at home. Research has shown that around 9 out of 10 burglars would choose to target a property without a burglar alarm over those with one. This statistic makes great sense, as when these criminals are scouting for homes to target, they would most likely not go for a home with strong security especially if it’s next to somewhere without any security measures.
Another burglary deterrent that works brilliantly is CCTV security cameras. Studies have found that about 83% of burglars would first determine whether a home has security cameras before they broke in. As well as this, the studies also found that 60% of thieves would typically avoid properties with security cameras. Thieves typically will do everything possible to not be caught on camera, so that they aren’t intercepted by the law. By having CCTV in your home, burglars will instantly realise that daring to try and break into your house, could cost them their freedom.
It is all great having these deterrents to protect your property, but it is absolutely vital that your CCTV cameras and burglar alarm are easily visible from the front of your home. This way any potential intruders will end up walking straight past your home!
