The main reason to invest in a home alarm system is still to dismiss any worry of break-ins and burglary. Statistics show that in the US alone, home burglaries occur every 13 seconds. We’ve to install a security system to protect the belongings and people we care about. The FBI states that one in three homes without a security system will fall victim to a burglary, as opposed to one in 250 for those with a security system in place.

A more practical and important reason is to protect our homes from fire. A home security system will act as an early warning system, detecting smoke and warning us of sources of even the smallest changes in heat. It goes without saying that setting up smoke and heat detectors is crucial in fire prevention.

Security systems also help save on electricity by monitoring our home’s energy use. With remote monitoring of both indoor and outdoor cameras, we can quickly see and address if, for example, we’ve left a light open or an appliance running in the house.

Lastly, home security systems lower our home insurance premiums. Keep in mind that the rates of required homeowner’s insurance vary based on factors like coverage, location, and home type, and that most insurance companies provide large discounts to homeowners with a home security system installed.
