Are Home Security Systems & Camera Systems Worth It?

If you’re new to the world of security systems and have recently started thinking about investing, you may be wondering about their worth. From having a dog to living in a ‘safe neighborhood’ we’ve heard all of the reasons for a homeowner to not invest in their security.

However, the reality is, you only feel safe until something happens to compromise this. A neighbor with a large dog may be targeted whilst they’re away, your safe neighborhood is suddenly having a spike in break-ins. With over 67% of all burglaries being residential properties, you don’t want to wait for something to happen – because it could happen to you.

Not only is a home security system protection for your valuable and sentimental items, but it’s also safety and protection for yourself and your loved ones.

We are extremely passionate about keeping homes and businesses safe. If you’re on the fence of whether a home security system is worth it, here are some of the benefits to think about…

What are the advantages of a home security system?

Peace of Mind

When your home is properly protected, you can rest easy knowing you’ll be alerted if anything happens. Whether you’re heading to the store or going on a long vacation, with a home security system in place, you can know you’ve taken all of the necessary precautions to protect your property.

Lower Chance of Being Targeted

Burglars want minimal hassle and to avoid being seen at all costs. This means, if they see an alarm system which could be set off, they are less likely to break into your property. Over 83% of burglars look for signs of an alarm when entering a property, and over half said they would give up if they spotted one.

Reduced Home Insurance Premiums

If you have a professionally installed security system, homeowners could receive between 5 and 20% off their quoted premium. On top of this, if you have a smart security system which features a camera, you will find it easier to make claims on insurance if anything does happen – as you have the proof at hand.

Insight into More Than Just Break-ins

If you have pets, a babysitter or you want to monitor the comings and goings of your home, you can use your security system to manage all of this. From videos and motion detectors, to doorbell cameras and smart systems which send notifications to your phone.
