It is estimated that there is a burglary every 30 seconds in the US. The average loss is around $3k. Interestingly, most break-ins occur during the day when homeowners are out for work. However, the rise in home security systems has helped decrease the rate of home invasions. Thanks to smarter, more intuitive security systems, and the fast-dropping prices of these systems, it is something that most homeowners are adopting, which should help reduce crime rates further. Plus, many systems are also compatible with third-party devices, which is perfect for homeowners that may have some hardware like wireless cameras already installed.
