ARE OUR HOMES STILL SAFE WITH NEW TECH?

Hardware is one of those things that can be rushed at the end of a project, but with homeowners currently making investments in their home rather than moving, it could be worth some installers nudging their target consumer market.

This sector has such choice for the end user but it has the potential to be one of those paths that could lead customers to pore over catalogue after catalogue to make their personal choice.

Whilst it might seem like common sense to most of us to have some kind of protection in and around the house, there still appears to be an enormous amount of people who consider the bare basics, that have always worked for them are enough to deter opportunist burglars.

According to Neighbourhood Watch there are a number of principles that homeowners should apply to give them complete reassurance when their homes are empty. Whilst Predictive Policing is being introduced to areas with high crime such as city centres, it is nowhere near as safe an option, so until it is, we have to rely upon a few trusted methods and some ‘Smart Technology’ to keep our castles secure.

Figures show that burglaries during December and January each year, increase considerably with home and vehicle theft still creating higher crime statistics during those months. This is attributed to people simply not checking up on their home security frequently enough - if a burglar wants to try his luck to get in, they will, making it hard for them to break and enter is obviously what is needed.
