According to the FBI, homes without a security system are 300% more likely to be burglarized, and only 12% of burglary cases are solved by police. As a homeowner, those statistics do not sound comforting. However, there is a way to get some relief – let’s talk about Motion Detector Systems and why they are one of the best ways to derail suspicious activity before it causes real harm.
A common myth about burglary is that a home can only be targeted once. In reality, criminals often take advantage of this belief, and return to a property shortly after the initial break in. Why? Consider how homeowners typically respond after a theft: they replace the stolen items. Burglars are aware of this, which often motivates them to strike a second time. Motion detector systems are designed to catch intruders in the act by detecting unusual movement. If someone hangs around a door, window, or other entrance for too long, your detection devices will trigger alarms, alert the authorities, and deter the burglar’s presence.
The holiday season brings family and joy, but it also increases your risk of various criminal activities, including porch piracy and break ins while you are away. The USPS estimates that they will deliver around 800 million packages between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. With more than a third of Americans reporting package thefts from right under their doorstep, you might feel inspired to install motion sensors just before the holidays roll around.
