Burglary Prevention

Statistics show that the biggest deterrent to a would be burglar, by far, is the sighting of a security alarm system sounder box on the property.

The majority of burglars targeting domestic properties said that they avoid properties fitted with burglar alarms altogether (source the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) 'Domestic alarms market research survey').

The most up-to-date estimate of the average cost of a domestic burglary has been calculated at £2300 (See Table 4.2 of 'The Economic and Social Costs of Crime' - Home Office Research Study 217...open PDF report).

For this reason, some insurance companies will offer reduced premiums to properties fitted with a security system.

Until recently, most security installers preferred a hard-wired intruder alarm system because they were more stable and gave peace of mind.  However, these are generally more expensive, both to install and maintain.

Now, with the Domonial Wireless Security System, a burglar alarm is within reach of most home owners as it is a less expensive option.

Not only is it less expensive, all Wireless Alarm UK's intruder alarms have the additional benefit of being linked to an Alarm Receiving Centre.  This added value means that your system will be monitored 24 hours a day, 7 days a week so if a burglar breaks in, you or your nominated keyholder will receive an alert immediately.  Even some hard-wired systems don't offer this facility.

Thieves will always take the easy option and prefer not to take unnecessary risks.  It is well known that an intruder alarm box acts as a deterrent, moreover, all Wireless Alarms UK intruder alarm boxes will indicate to a burglar that the house is linked to an Alarm Receiving Centre (monitoring station).  Obviously, if a burglar thinks there is a real chance of the Police being called they are even less likely to break in.
