According to the Bureau of Justice, a home in America gets broken into every 23 seconds. That’s over 2.5 million homes per year, with a solve rate of only 12-15% depending on the state. This means 85-88% of home burglaries go unsolved, and 92% of those are because the homeowner did not have adequate security such as an alarm system or security cameras.
Asset protection devices are an economical way to protect valuables like jewelry, cash, or personal mementos. These devices can send a notification to your phone if your asset is moved, protecting you from contractors or cleaners in your home. Notifications can be turned on or off via your device depending on who’s in your home.
There is a difference between burglar alarms and home security systems. Alarms will go off if sensors are triggered and may alert you by phone or directly to local law enforcement. Home security systems can do the same but also alert you to smoke, fire, CO2, and even flooding.
Whichever system you choose, ensure it will still run in the event of a power cut, whether from your utility supplier or if a burglar cuts your power. Discuss this with your solar provider if you have one.
For the elderly, infirm, or even the clumsy, a system that includes a personal safety device can be lifesaving. Ask your contractor about Silent Beacon devices. With a Silent Beacon device, you can set your panic button to call 911, other emergency personnel, or loved ones with just one press of a button. Silent Beacon claims their panic button is the only personal safety wearable device on the market that allows you to choose which phone number to call during an emergency. Different emergencies require different responses, and Silent Beacon allows you to customize who you alert for help via email, push notification, text message, or by calling someone directly.
Most insurance companies offer discounts to those with security systems in place. Make sure to call and inquire, as some insurance companies may have preferred devices or systems.
Hiring anyone to carry work in your home can be daunting. Letting strangers into your home is even more scary. While many homeowners may go into detail about pricing and materials and quality of work – they rarely ask their contractor for their license details and never ask about their possible criminal background or if their staff are felons.
For your peace of mind, all alarms and security contractors featured on 23HourBids.com, and their staff, have been background checked for your safety and security. Don't let anyone into your home without the 23HourBids.com seal of safety and security.
