Beyond the Front Door: How to Tailor Your Home Security System

As a Brooklyn homeowner, securing your home is as important as the loved ones within it. At Alarms R Us, we’ve helped countless homeowners find home alarm and security system solutions that work for their space. So, how do we know what areas of your property need the most protection? Let’s look at how we determine which security measures are right for each home.

Home Security Considerations

When deciding what home alarm system you want for your house, it’s important to remember why you’re making this change. Did you know, according to a study by the University of North Carolina Charlotte, that if a burglar knows there’s a home security system on a property, 60% of the time, they will choose a new target?

When choosing your next home security system, this should never be far from your mind. We work with you to find the balance between safeguarding the interior and exterior of your home. Whether you focus on deterring potential intruders from stepping onto your property or catching them in the act if they breach your perimeter, we offer a personalized approach. That’s because security isn’t a one-size-fits-all matter; it’s a carefully curated plan designed to meet your unique needs.

Ask Yourself: What is the layout of your home, and what level of protection do you want?

Know Where to Focus

Burglars typically choose the path of least resistance to enter a home, focusing on points that are less detectable and easier to breach. Common entry points for burglars include doors, windows, and other less secure areas of a home. Surprisingly, research from the Bureau of Justice shows that of these popular entry points, the front door is used in 34% of break-ins.

Because of this, we usually start by installing a security system for windows and doors. Then, for people who want more protection, we can help extend the system to cover internal areas of the home. We work with each homeowner to choose where to focus these exterior and interior security measures. We consider other potential access points that burglars might exploit, such as garage doors, basement windows, and secondary entrances, which are also frequent targets. The decision often boils down to a personal choice based on specific needs and budget.

Technology is fantastic, and new innovations in home security now allow for a range of solutions. From motion sensors to smart cameras and more, each offers different levels of oversight to give you and your family peace of mind.

Ask Yourself: What’s my budget?
