May 30, 2019 By Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

Burglary is a devastating experience for any home or business owner to have to endure. It causes feelings of fear, frustration, and anxiety that last long after the unfortunate event takes place. Not only is your property invaded and your valuables were stolen, but your peace of mind can also be taken away by burglars as well.

Did you realize that every 18 seconds there’s a burglary in the United States? That’s around 200 every hour! Most burglars hope to enter and leave a home undetected. When they discover someone is home, however, burglaries can turn into violent confrontations.

Thankfully, there are some concrete ways you can help to prevent your home or workplace from becoming the scene of a burglary using X10’s affordable and easy to install home security equipment. The first step involves educating yourself about burglaries. For example, you should learn the answers to some key questions such as:

  • When is a burglary most likely to occur?
  • What types of properties do burglars target?

The second step is taking that knowledge and using it to your advantage. There are some simple ways you can make it less likely for you or someone you love to become the victim of a burglary.

Home Security Systems are a Great Deterrent Against Burglary

When you think about it, this point should be common sense. If a burglar notices evidence of a home security system, such as X10 security cameras, alarms, motion detectors, placards, or yard signs, nine out of ten will choose a different home to target. This statistic should really make homeowners stop and think about getting a home security system!

Most Burglaries Occur in Broad Daylight

In the movies, you’ll often see burglars in dark clothing trying to sneak into homes in the middle of the night. Though it’s possible for a burglary to take place at that time, they’re actually far more likely to take place during the day. That’s because burglars are more likely to find homes vacant during working and school hours. Burglars typically aren’t looking for a confrontation. They want to sneak into a home, find the valuables they’re seeking as quickly as possible, and get out before being discovered. That’s another reason to set up a home security system.

X10 has everything you need when it comes to affordable home security equipment. Their high-resolution pan-tilting cameras can scan your property from different angles. You can set one up to record images of each entrance to your home. No criminal wants to be caught on camera. These cameras will be highly visible during that window of time from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm when burglars are most likely to show up at your door. X10’s new motion-detecting cameras can alert you of unwelcome visitors to your property remotely on your cell phone even when you’re away from home. In case of a night time home invasion, X10’s motion detectors can be connected to powerful bright lights that will likely cause the criminal to flee as quickly as possible.

In our second article in this series, we’ll look at even more facts about burglaries and ways you can use X10’s effective home security equipment to help prevent them.
