Burglary Rates--With and Without a Security System

It's a fact--locations with security systems are burglarized less often and suffer smaller losses than locations without security systems. Many insurance companies offer premium discounts if you have a security system--and insurance companies are not known for throwing money away on things that don't work!

All of us would prefer to live in a society where we didn't even have to lock our doors. Unfortunately, that's not Southern California. No security system can absolutely guarantee that you'll never suffer a loss. But having a security system can definitely put the odds in your favor!

Security System Components

Your security system will consist of some or all of the following equipment. Other types of devices are also available.

There are many reputable manufacturers of alarm equipment. The exact appearance and product features will vary by manufacturer.

Keypads display the status of the system using indicator lights or English-language displays. Entering your personal code turns the system on or off.

Sirens installed inside and outside can alert you and your neighbors and encourage an intruder to leave.

Contacts detect the opening of a door or window. Some contacts are flush-mounted, and are not visible when the door or window is closed. Sometimes, custom-made alarm screens can be used to protect windows, even when they are open.

Smoke detectors can save your life. These detectors are powered by the control panel's battery. If your system is monitored, these smoke detectors can call for help, even while you're away.

Glass break detectors can provide early detection of a burglary attempt. Some glass break detectors listen for the sounds of breaking glass, while others detect the impact of an attack on the glass.

Motion detectors sense an intruder's movement, regardless of how he got inside. Security systems often include a way to bypass the motion detectors while you're inside. Some motion detectors will even ignore small pets.

The control panel is the heart of the system. It monitors all of the various sensors, checks the keypads, and sounds the sirens. It can also transmit alarms to a monitoring center called a "central station." A rechargeable standby battery powers the system for several hours during power failures.
