First reason to have home security is to secure yourself and your family. Home security will deter a lot of criminals before they start the act. It also gives you a piece of mind knowing that the monitoring service is available 24/7 to alert emergency services if needed.

Whether you are home or not, without a security system your home is vulnerable to criminal activities. Criminals will break in to see if you have any high-end electronics and valuable jewellery. In some cases, you might have intruders break in to do random damages.

Insurance rates are based on the risk that property presents to the insurance company. Having residential security minimises the risks of your home being burgled and protects your home from outside threats, which then lowers your insurance rates.
