Do burglar alarms really prevent burglaries? It's impossible to know, a negative can't be proven.
There are several things that can be known for sure. Last year in the United States there were more than two million burglaries and the average loss in these thefts was in excess of $1,500. Other known facts are that stores which have been robbed often have higher insurance rates and that those which have burglar alarms many times receive insurance discounts. Also, if a burglary at an alarm protected store does occur, it is often of a shorter duration which can equate to less loss of or damage to property as well as less time during which employees are endangered.
Standard professionally installed burglar alarms start at around $1,500 with service fees for monitoring beginning in the low twenty dollar range. Systems such as this are wired into the site?s telephone system. When security is breached an automatic alarm goes out to the appropriate service and to the alarm company. To avoid false burglar alarms, the company monitoring the system may call a specified person and ask for a password. If the person is not reached or the password not given, then help will be dispatched.
Wireless burglar alarms are an increasingly popular security system innovation. This type of burglar alarm is particularly well suited to apartments and smaller homes and businesses. Wireless systems many times can even be installed by the home or business owner. Some companies offer free wireless burglar alarms to customers who sign up for an alarm monitoring package with their company. Non-monitored burglar alarms which are much like car alarms are also available. A non-monitored system depends upon a burglar being dissuaded from continuing a robbery by a loud horn and/or flashing lights.
Home owners or store owners will never know if burglars looked at their burglar alarms and walked on by to an unprotected residence or business. They will know, however, that if they choose to have burglar alarms their insurance rates may be less. And, perhaps most importantly, they will have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that the utmost has been done to protect both lives and possessions.
