The number one thing that will spook a burglar from targeting your property is the high possibility of getting caught.
Burglars learn to pick up on visual cues in order to determine if there is a security system at a particular residence.
Fright No. 1: Signs that suggest turning back
Your security yard sign or window decal has an alarming affect on a potential burglar. The sign lets the burglar know that your home is professionally protected by a monitoring station, in case of trouble.
Most burglars will turn back and choose a different home to target if they know you are protected by a professional security system.
Fright No. 2: That feeling of being watched
Another way to deter a burglar is by having security cameras. A security camera that is installed on your porch can record high-quality video footage as soon as someone approaches your home.
You can easily download the footage and send it to the police.
Fright No. 3: You rang?
Many burglars will check and see if someone is home. They can do this by nocking at the door or ringing the doorbell. A burglar can always make up an excuse as to why they are on your property if you answer the door.
With a video doorbell, you can answer your door from anywhere. You would receive a notification on your smartphone when the doorbell rings. You will be able to see who’s there and address them directly at the door.
This not only gives the appearance that you are home no matter where you are, but it’s also a safer option of answering the door if you are home.
