The very thought of an intruder being in your home – your lovely home – without consent is enough to make anyone’s skin crawl. Home CCTV Systems are a surefire way to deter intruders. But, is acting as a deterrent really enough to warrant spending your hard-earned cash on one?
While there are certainly benefits to installing a CCTV system yourself—mostly saving money on installation—you’ll be missing out on some important benefits that only a pro can offer.
Let’s go back to basics. Unless you’re a lottery winner or millionaire entrepreneur, there has to be at least a basic need for something that you’re looking to spend a fairly significant sum of money on. It doesn’t grow on trees, unfortunately.
With a 32% rise in domestic burglaries last year in the UK, there’s certainly a strong argument for that all-important need. A burglary is now committed every 40 seconds in the UK.
70% of UK homes don’t even have a Home Intruder Alarm installed. That’s 17.5 MILLION homes lacking a domestic security staple. Burglary is on the rise, and a home without any visible security systems is a red-hot target for thieves.
