People have been seeking shelter for as long as history has been recorded. Taking refuge on giant trees, in caves, or in whatever other shelter our ancestors could assemble has been an important part of protecting ourselves from threats.  In history, these threats were often from the elements (rain, sun, heat, cold, snow, etc.) or animals that could attack us. The shelter also safeguarded our families from threats from neighbors or other potential criminals or vandals.  When someone would leave whatever was home to forge for fruit or hunt beasts, what was left behind had to be watched and protected – usually by a live guard.

Millennia later, humankind has advanced in several ways.  For example, we now trust one another more than in the past.  Although some may say it is still a dog eat dog world out there, where we must rise above one to collect more resources, others note that we can generally trust our fellow neighbor.  Regardless of your perspective on the habits and morality of man, there is no denying that crime does still occur – perhaps more often than we would like.   Who can you trust?  Some say nobody.  If you belong to this camp, you definitely understand the appeal of a home security system to protect your property and your family.

A burglar alarm system in Key Biscayne can do a lot to help you avoid becoming a victim of theft or vandalism in your own home.  For example, you may have noticed in stores of homes there are sometimes notices that alert passersby that the property is armed with a home security system, closed-circuit television video surveillance, or both.  In these cases, the property has these security tools present in case a crime occurs – but the notice that the equipment in place is also a deterrent.  Would-be criminals want to commit crimes that easy, ones that will not lead them to be easily apprehended.  If they understand the risks of breaking into a property with a burglar alarm, then they will know to avoid the property they are eyeing.

If the thief enters a home with a burglar alarm system, then a sound may play which calls attention to the location of the alarm.  In other words, home occupants and neighbors’ attention is drawn to the sounding alarm.  This could stop a thief in his tracks.  He would rather take off running than be caught.  The alarm can be wired to alert the local authorities, sending a police officer directly to your home.  This line of protection helps keep your home and family safe.
