The statistics speak for themselves. In 2021, more than $700 billion worth of property was stolen across America (
FBI Crime Data Explorer).
That's a lot of value stolen from American homes in just one year, but there's a noticeable trend. Homes without a home security system were 300% more likely to suffer burglaries and break-ins.
In fact,
80% of arrested burglars state that a home security system or alarm system would have made them abandon the attempt.
Yet less than 50% of America's households have a functional alarm system installed.
