The Benefits of Home and Business Security

Security is something that we rely upon every day, regardless of whether it’s on our minds or not. We trust barriers like doors and windows to keep our properties secure, but those points of access are also a property’s greatest weakness – providing little hinderance to criminals, and failing without the use of force in 55% of 2022’s burglaries. [1]

With insurance premiums experiencing some of their largest jumps ever, it’s more important now than ever that we protect personal property, sensitive technology, and company supplies before disaster strikes and costs start mounting up.

Thankfully, however, doing so isn’t as complicated as one might think. Recent statistics show that properties with even basic security systems are 300% less likely to suffer theft, and that over 85% of prospective burglars flee upon tripping an alarm. [2]

Looking to make an investment in safety and take advantage of that crucial difference? Read on to discover more about the benefits of security systems and the wide range of safety solutions that Smith Security has on offer.

Confidence, Protection, and Affordability

Increased personal and financial safety is the bottom line of installing a security or video surveillance system to your home or business, but the benefits don’t stop there. Today’s security systems offer lock and glass break detection, beam motion detectors, online access control, and even response procedures in the event of a triggered alarm. [3]

On top of the safety benefits, having a burglar or fire alarm system can reduce both business and home insurance premiums on your property by up to 20%, allowing you to save money and increase your security measures at the same time. [4]

CCTV footage is also invaluable evidence for use in insurance claims, and having it on hand after an accident or break-in is a great step towards successfully recovering losses.

No Longer a Painstaking, Hands-on Process

Gone are the days of crawling about in attics to hook up cables, and gone are the endless VHS tapes and CCTV monitors. Protecting your family or business shouldn’t be a chore, and things couldn’t get simpler than with Smith Security.
