Burglaries and break-ins are less common now than they were six or seven years ago, but they do still happen, and as emotions run high it can be difficult to think rationally about the best course of action. If you discover or suspect that a burglary has taken place on your property, there are a few things you should do.

The first burglar alarm was created in 1853; however they didn’t become the cornerstone of home and business security like they are today until the 1970s.

With 1 in 100 homes in the UK being burgled each year and that number being steadily on the rise, many homeowners are becoming more tempted to install intruder alarms to protect their belongings. But do house alarms actually deter burglars? This blog aims to find out!

Do house alarms deter burglars? 

Installing a burglar alarm in your home or business will certainly go a long way in deterring criminals from breaking into your premises. Not only does the loud siren draw attention of passersby and neighbours, but good quality, professionally monitored alarms also notify the homeowner and authorities. So even if you are away from home when your alarm is triggered, you can rest assured that help is on the way!

Studies show that even just the presence of an alarm at a property would cause 60% of burglars to seek an alternative target. However, don’t let this encourage you to purchase a cheap, off-the-shelf burglar alarms as although these may seem like a cost-effective solution for your home security, they can easily be unplugged and disarmed, rendering them useless.
