    Why Are Alarms So Important?

    Statistics show that significantly more break-ins happen during the last 2 weeks of the year, specifically the weeks leading up to Christmas and New Year's, than any other time of the year. These two weeks provide some of the first really cold weather of the season and create empty streets with plentiful stock available in stores. Jewelry and other easily cashed valuables are in abundance and highly targeted. That means there's more opportunity for burglars during the last two weeks of the year than at any other time. Valuables and Opportunities Lead to Thievery It's that simple.

    How Can Alarms Deter Theft?

    Any business owner who cares for the security of their property will install some anti-burglary system. Crime is rampant enough that the investment only makes common sense. However, do such alarms deter theft? To answer that question, we should examine what anti-burglary systems are available and how security camera solutions can help you. Types of Anti-Burglary Systems The classic burglary alarm will set off a loud, piercing noise if an unauthorized person breaks open a door or window to gain entry to a business.

Some anti-burglary systems include motion detectors for certain rooms where valuables are located. This feature will enable law enforcement to find the burglar should he or she be foolish enough to remain at the crime scene once the alarm has been tripped. Security...
