A professionally designed burglar alarm system is essential for preventing break-ins, thefts and vandalism. Additionally, it’s crucial that you have an intrusion prevention system that features 24/7 monitoring, so that law enforcement can be contacted immediately should a break-in occur. Adding video surveillance to your burglar alarm system is also an effective deterrent. When a would-be burglar sees that you have video monitoring, they likely will choose to move on to an easier target. Remember, burglars prefer to spend as little time as possible inside your home or business. Anything that represents an obstacle to getting in and out quickly is not worth their trouble.
It’s entirely possible to keep a burglar from even considering approaching your home or business.

Simply announcing that you have a security system can help keep your loved ones safe.

Often, items that are stolen in a burglary are never recovered. So don’t take chances when it comes to your valuable assets. Installing an anti-theft or burglar alarm system at your home or business provides a layer of protection for your treasured possessions and your livelihood, and can prevent costly losses due to theft.
Additionally, many insurance providers give homeowners or business owners a significant discount on their insurance premiums if they provide proof that they have a burglar alarm system and/or a video surveillance system. And if a theft were ever to occur, you will have important data to support your claim with your insurance company, if you have a functioning security system and can provide video of the incident to law enforcement authorities.

The faster that law enforcement is made aware of an incident, the more likely they are to catch the suspect in the act. Plus, if a theft ever were to occur, real-time alerts can prevent the “surprise” factor of returning to your home or office only to discover that you’ve been burglarized – or that the burglar is still on the premises.
