According to the National Observatory of Delinquency and Criminal Responses (ONDRP), 795,000 households experienced at least one theft or attempted burglary in their primary or secondary residence in 2018. Burglary attempts alone made up 56% of cases. Securing your home against intrusions is a top priority for homeowners today. Simple common-sense steps, combined with proven technologies like advanced alarm systems, offer reliable protection.
The first step in robust home security is assessing potential weak spots to implement targeted deterrents that make your property unappealing to burglars.
Doors and locks are prime targets. Upgrade standard doors with multipoint locks, especially A2P-certified models, which are rigorously tested to resist break-ins.
The A2P label also applies to secure doors featuring armored frames. Swapping out entry doors for these burglary-resistant options significantly bolsters your defenses.
Similarly, reinforce shutters—common intrusion routes—with anti-lift, anti-pick, and anti-tear systems to deter forced entry.
Among security measures, alarm systems are the most effective at preventing break-ins. They use detectors placed at key access points like doors, windows, and garage entries.
Upon detecting unauthorized entry, these systems can activate a loud siren to scare off intruders, alert your smartphone, or notify a monitoring service.
With advancing smart home tech, standout options like the Delta Dore Alarm—certified NF and A2P—deliver top-tier protection. This wireless system installs effortlessly anywhere, boasts 10-year battery life via innovative tech (unlike competitors needing replacements every 3 years), and saves users time and money. Pair it with video surveillance for comprehensive coverage.
