Alarm.com Offers Homeowners Five Tips to Improve Crime Prevention
TYSONS, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- U.S. homeowners may not be doing enough to protect their homes during the holidays, new survey results from Alarm.com (Nasdaq: ALRM) suggest. The combination of doorstep package deliveries, new items inside the home, and families traveling creates a target-rich environment for criminals. Yet, the survey indicates that most homeowners still rely largely on antiquated security methods to deter crime, such as stopping the mail, leaving lights on or asking a neighbor to watch their home while away. Only a quarter of respondents say they have a security system or cameras installed to help protect their home.
“The holidays are for celebrating with friends and loved ones, but also are a perfect reminder to make sure we’re properly protecting our homes and everyone in them,” said Anne Ferguson, VP of marketing at Alarm.com. “Some old-school approaches can waste energy or put an added burden on others, but most important, criminals themselves say they often aren’t effective deterrents. Savvy homeowners are turning to modern security technology for ways to protect and manage their home that helps improve their lives.”
The survey of 10,000 U.S. homeowners was conducted for Alarm.com by OnePoll. Alarm.com offers the following smart home tips to help homeowners feel more confident in their home security during the holidays:
