1. Protect Your Home and Family from Intruders.

The biggest reason a homeowner should consider installing a home security system is that it offers protection to family members from intruders. According to the magazine “Securing Home”, houses without security systems are 3 times more likely to be targeted by burglars. This shows that the simple presence of an alarm system is in most cases enough to protect the house and its occupants from burglary.

2. Protect Your Home and Family from Fires.

Security systems also provide additional protection for homeowners. Many homeowners rely on smoke detectors to warn them of an outbreak of fire, providing early warning.

According to research, in just thirty seconds a small flame can turn into a complete fire. Within minutes of the fire breaking out, the house will be filled with thick black smoke that prevents family members from breathing. These two events are enough to reinforce the importance of having a home security system that signals the authorities to respond to a house fire. Time is of the essence in any emergency, but in the event of a fire, time is of the essence. A few seconds of fire safety concern can mean the death or complete destruction of a home and all its contents.

3. Provide Your Family with Peace of Mind.

The presence of a security system gives many families peace of mind knowing that their home is protected from a variety of disaster scenarios. When homeowners are elderly or often alone in the home, this peace of mind is invaluable. If the person cannot leave the house the security systems send the authorities who are able to help inform. Security systems also provide remote control alerts that are designed to seek help for specific medical conditions. Finally, home alarm systems are beneficial for families who often leave family members alone at home, usually children of working parents.

4. Protect Your Valuables.

During our lifetime we collect and buy items that make sense to us. From emotional legacies to big markets, they represent who we are and the accomplishments we have made. However, when burglars enter our home, our emotions are the most distant thing in their minds as they focus on the value of what they are getting. For most homeowners, having a home alarm system is enough to deter burglars, but when it is not, it serves an additional function. In addition to the signal that the house has a burglar, the cameras catch the intruders on leeks. The existence of visual documentation of the intrusion into the home increases the likelihood that the burglar will be identified for the crime committed. The video also helps homeowners create a file of what has been removed from their home during a burglary.

5.Save on Homeowners Insurance.

In home insurance, the installation of a security system is mandatory in most cases. If an insurance company does not oblige, it gives its customers an additional discount depending on the level of protection of the home.

6.Keep an Eye on Your Home Remotely.

For some homeowners, the ability to monitor their home even when they are away is one of the biggest benefits of the system. As technology has improved systems now allow users to connect to the Internet via their computers or smartphones and access their home remotely. Allows the burglar alarm system to be armed or disarmed, as well as the cameras to be monitored, the lights to turn off and on, the shades to can run, the cooling or heating to be adjusted, etc. All of these features not only allow homeowners to monitor intruders but also help protect the home remotely. Turning on the lights at a set time via remote access can help you create the illusion that someone is home even when they are not. Access to heating or air conditioning can help prepare your home for sudden temperature changes to prevent damage, and it can also help save on electricity bills.

Remote access is provided free of charge, but offers homeowners the opportunity to take over the management of their home even when they are out of town.

7.Reduce energy consumption in your home.

The automation system allows users to access and control lighting, thermostats and in some cases all home appliances via remote access. Some homeowners use this feature to turn off heating or cooling when they are not home and turn it on about an hour before they return to a comfortable home.

Other homeowners use this feature to turn on the lights before they arrive so they do not have to enter an unlit house. This feature is also beneficial for deterring intruders, as it allows homeowners to make it look like they are home when they are not.
