Who Needs an Alarm System?

If you’ve been living in a home for years without any burglary attempts, you’re probably thinking that you don’t need an alarm system. Everyone thinks it would never happen to them! But it only takes one break-in or emergency to take away your peace of mind permanently.

Whether you’ve had a break-in or not, there are certain groups of people who can benefit the most from installing an alarm system.

Business Owners

As a business owner, you’ve invested a lot of time and money into your company, so why wouldn’t you want to protect it? Most businesses contain valuables in the form of money, equipment, and/or inventory. If someone were to break in and steal your property, it’s more than a matter of replacing it. It could take time for your operation to fully recover. With so much at stake, an alarm system is a rather inexpensive investment to protect your property.

Unlike homes, most businesses are vacant overnight. With nobody on site to keep an eye over the property, it becomes an obvious target for criminals. An alarm system can watch over your business through all hours of the night and alert you if there’s an intruder.

Business alarm systems are different from home systems. They can monitor more aspects and are custom tailored to your building to offer the maximum level of protection.

Families with Children

As a parent, you always want to make sure your children are protected from danger. Criminals don’t care who they steal from, and the fact that you have children won’t deter them one bit. Knowing that an alarm system is watching over your family at all times will help give you peace of mind, even if you have to leave your kids with a babysitter when you work late or go out.

Alarm systems can also protect your family from more than just criminals. Many can be integrated with your emergency systems like smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors to warn your family and alert authorities in the event of danger.

Senior Citizens

Burglars are always looking for an easy opportunity. The elderly are typically less likely to fight back and easier to scare or overpower. They also tend to have more antiques, jewellery, and valuables in their homes, which means senior citizens are a prime target for criminals.

Any at-risk group should have an alarm system to protect themselves from criminals. Even if you or an elderly relative living in your home can’t fight off an intruder, the alarm system might be able to scare them off and will be able to immediately alert the police.

People with Busy Schedules

Criminals aren’t lazy; they do their homework. Before a break-in, most criminals will observe their target’s routine to get a feel for when it would be safest to enter. If you have a busy schedule or are away from your home for large amounts of time, an alarm system will be able to watch over your property while you’re gone.

Not only will an alarm system deter criminals, it’ll also be able to protect your property from other disasters like fires and floods. If you’re away from your home and a fire breaks out, by the time you get back to realise what’s happened it’ll be too late. Many alarm systems can be integrated with your smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and other sensors to alert you or a professional monitoring service immediately in the event of an emergency.

People Living Alone

Living alone can be scary. You probably never forget to lock the doors or close the windows, but is that enough? An alarm system can act as the ever-watching roommate that you need to feel secure, without having to share your dinner or fight for the TV remote.

Living alone also means that whenever you’re away, your home is vacant. Having an alarm system can offer you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing that your home is protected.

Affluent Neighborhoods

People who live in affluent neighborhoods generally make decent money, have expensive toys, and maybe even own some high-end collectibles. Unfortunately, criminals know this too, which is why affluent neighborhoods are prime targets for burglars.

Criminals look for easy targets. If they believe that a house is filled with expensive items, they see it as a one-stop-shop. People living in affluent neighborhoods should consider installing an alarm system to protect their home and property.
