When I lived up north I lived in a neighborhood where B&E’s were not a concern. Then I became a victim then I said that can never happen again but it did. After I got robbed a second time I sat down with the police and discussed the best and most effective design for a burglar alarm system. I then implemented the design. When I moved to FL I do not remember which came first cable TV or burglar alarm. Last week for one night, because of a maintenance issue (back up battery) I could not set the alarm which resulted in a restless nights sleep. My alarm includes a day alarm, an alarm sounds in the house if a screen door is opened or a beam across my garage door is broken. I am free to open my house and enjoy the fresh air without fear of a surprise. Break my boundaries, well you know the rest.
The police told me the last thing is an alarm that dials the phone. You need sirens and flashing lights. A monitor service is not money well spent.
It’s just one more insurance.
