Your home is your castle, or at least it should feel that way. However, when you have your home broken into you no longer feel safe in your own castle. The cost of peace of mind is priceless. That feeling that when you leave the house each day, or go to bed each night, that your home and anyone in it, are safe and sound.
In this blog post we have put together 5 reasons to invest in a home security system. There are many more reasons, but there are what we think are the most important reasons to invest in a home security system.
Detect Crime
A good quality home security system will not only deter potential criminals. It will also detect potential crime. For example, you may spot someone on your CCTV looking at your home. You may also see suspicious activity near your property. If a break-in was to occur you would then have the evidence needed for the police to catch the thief.
Detect Fire
Home security systems detect crimes, but they can also detect smoke and fire. Whether you are out for the day, chilling in the lounge or asleep at night, you home security system will be keeping an eye on any potential fire or smoke in your home, before alerting you of the danger.
Remote Control
When you have a good quality home security system you will have the ability to control your home remotely. This means you can keep an eye on your home from the office, on the commute or even while you are on holiday. Some home security systems will allow you to turn your lights on and off too, so it looks like someone is home.
Emergency Response
Some home owners opt for a high level of home security that alerts the police if the intruder alarm goes off. This type of intruder alarm will enforce a quick emergency response if there was a fire or break-in at your home.
Lower Insurance
When you request quotes for home insurance you will be asked what security measures you have in place for your property. If you have CCTV cameras, intruder alarms, motion sensor lighting or similar, this will reduce your home insurance costs as your home will be safer and more secure.
