It’s true that the holiday season is burglary season on Long Island due to the fact that households may have dozens of expensive gifts sitting under their tree. Even if your Christmas tree or Chnukah lights can’t be seen through a window or other visible place, a burglar may still assume they are there. They can assume that based on the fact that you have holiday decorations on the exterior of your home.
This might bring worry during the holiday burglary season on Long Island if you have to leave your house for an extended period of time. A break-in could occur while you’re at work or if you have to travel. It also doesn’t have to be just gifts that are vulnerable. A break-in could mean many of your personal items are also in jeopardy.
How can you thoroughly protect yourself this holiday season? Here at All Island Security, we have various security items you can use that can either deter a burglar or catch them in the act.
Motion Detector
Having a motion detector inside your home is going to be imperative in catching an intruder. While you might think roaming pets will be a problem using a motion detector, we offer a passive infrared motion detector that’s immune to detecting your pets weighing up to 40 lbs. Without having a detector, you’ll have a major gap in comprehensive security.
Video Security Cameras
Our video cameras complement the above motion detector based on one valuable feature: We email you 10 seconds of video footage when a motion detector picks up something in your home. You can view the video from your smartphone or internet connected computer and gain visual monitoring of your home while you travel. It’s a security evolution that’s providing more peace of mind while becoming more affordable.
High-Decibel Warning Siren
A burglar may retreat from your home when they hear a high-decibel siren. You should never underestimate the power of a high-pitched sound deterring any activity when a person is standing nearby. Our dual-tone 15 watt high decibel siren won’t leave anyone staying in your home once it’s activated.
Audio Glass Break Sensor
You may not have thought about buying an audio glass break sensor that detects shattering glass on one of your windows. Break-ins through the window are a very common method of gaining home access, though they may not always be detected with other alarm systems. We offer these sensors as an option. They’re carefully programmed to detect a specific frequency of breaking glass to reduce the chance of false alarms.
Eliminate the fear of leaving your home unattended during the holiday burglary season on Long Island. With our 24/7 Central Station Monitoring added to your security system, you can enjoy the peace of the holiday season that every family wants.
