One of the biggest reasons you should be interested in contracting a protective monitoring service for your home or business is that it protects your family or your employees from intruders. Statistics show that homes or businesses that do not have a security system are almost three times more likely to be targeted by burglars.
Just the presence of a protective monitoring service is often enough to protect your business or your home from a break-in. When burglars break into a home thinking that it is empty and find people inside, they can respond aggressively.
Having an armed security system in your home may give your family enough time to get to a safe space while the alarm system contacts local authorities. If someone breaks into your home and they know that you are there, they often have malicious intent. An alarm system gives you an early warning to take action.
Protective monitoring systems do more than thwart burglaries. They can protect your home from fires. A monitored alarm system will let your family know that there is smoke in the home and will also contact authorities. Heat detectors will alert you to rapid spikes in temperature that could indicate that a fire has started even though there is not a lot of smoke.
