Home Security Systems - GeoArm Security®

The home security system is a system designed to secure a home by using various technologies and components to detect and deter potential intruders. A typical home security system may include various components such as door/window contacts, motion detectors, glassbreak detectors, surveillance cameras and the alarm system control panel. These components work together to alert homeowners, authorities or a monitoring company about potential intrusions or other threats, and may also include additional features such as smoke and carbon monoxide detection. The purpose of a home security system is to provide peace of mind and protect a home from burglary, theft, and other unwanted activities.

Home security systems can be effective at fighting crime by deterring potential burglars and intruders from attempting to break into your home in the first place. If a burglary does occur, a security system can quickly alert you and/or the GeoArm central alarm monitoring station where a live operator can quickly dispatch your local authorities having jurisdiction, increasing the chances of catching the perpetrator and recovering stolen property.

In the United States, a burglary happens once every 23 seconds. Most burglaries (about 60%) happen during the day when homeowners are at work or school. Burglaries are more common in urban areas than in rural areas. The average loss per burglary is around $2,500. About 30% of burglars enter a home through an unlocked door or window. Homes without security systems are three times more likely to be burglarized than homes with GeoArm powered alarm monitoring.
