Home Security Systems Reduce Burglary Chances

It's a scary world out there, and you'd do anything you can to ensure your family and living environment is safe. But the statistics tell a different story. According to recent government data, 1 out of 6 American homes will have a burglary or fire incident in the next 5 years. House fires kill more Americans every year than all natural disasters combined, and a burglary happens in the United States every 14 seconds.

Those are staggering statistics, and families finding property stolen or damaged by an intruder understandably have an overwhelming sense of insecurity, fear and vulnerability. Not only have their personal lives been invaded and their families put at risk, but they also have to deal with the difficulties of clean up, insurance claims, police reports and rebuilding their lives.

Fortunately, it's easy to protect your home and your family without putting bars on the windows. A home security system makes your house 3 times less likely to be robbed. And 9 out of 10 convicted burglars agree they would avoid a home protected by a security system. This not only keeps your property protected, but most importantly your family.

ADT Home Security is the largest provider of electronic security services to more than 6 million commercial, government and residential customers throughout North America. Not only does ADT provide security against break-ins, but also is an emergency warning system against fires for when you are at home and away.

The company professionally installs your system into your home, complete with a wireless remote keychain.

Homes with a security system installed can also save the homeowner up to 20 percent on their insurance costs, providing an economical incentive -- especially when in 2006, the average dollar loss per burglary was $1,834.
