With today’s fast advancing technology, people automatically think of alarms and CCTV cameras for home security. But when someone breaks into your property, can an alarm or camera stop the perpetrator from completing his goal?
Sure, the alarm alerts you of a breach and the camera records the event. But if an armed and determined intruder has the right skills and tools, how will these technologies keep your property and your family safe?
Crime Rates in Victoria
Amidst more sophisticated security systems, rates of robbery, burglary and theft are still high in our region. In the Crime Statistics Agency’s September 2017 report, it revealed that robbery incidents increased by 12 .6% from 2015 to 2017. Incidents of burglary and theft decreased by 9.7% and 11.5% respectively, however, their crime rates are still high at 46,661 and 136,752.
Despite the presence of security systems in homes, if burglars see a good opportunity, they take their chances.
What Makes a Home a Prospect for a Burglar?
In a survey conducted by Drug Use Monitoring in Australia (DUMA), detainees were asked what attracts them to particular homes. Most offenders claimed that their primary motivator is an unoccupied home. They would look for signs of vacancy such as the absence of a car, closed lights at night and piled up mail.
Offenders also said that homes without dogs, security grilles, alarms, and such were easy targets. The most common way for them to break into homes was through an unlocked door or window, breaking a door or window and breaking or picking a lock. Some used doggy doors and skylights.
The Solution?
With most burglars being experienced and skilled, alarms and CCTV cameras won’t completely stop them from breaking and entering. A comprehensive security system should include barriers to forced entry and slow down an intruder.
