Our Customers Say

Rated 5 stars on Google!“Jodi did an awesome job at explaining all options that Alarm Engineering offers and what a selection! She made sure she was available for any additional question and for the beginning of the installation. I apologize for not remembering the names of the men but do remember one of them had a 4 month old German Shepard pup! They were both super in regards to the installation and instructions on how to operate the system. The system works great. I’m confident that if anything ever happened, they would be on it promptly. It’s also nice talking to a real person who knows you and the area.”

ex-burglars reveal it only takes 2 minutes to break into a home with no visible alarm system and 78% say that an alarm system would make them target a different home entirely.

What Burglars Look For & How to Deter Them

Burglars are increasingly using social media outlets to isolate and track potential victims. A recent survey of some former burglars shed some light on what they look for and what deters them. Here are the five most common mistakes homeowners make, according to ex-burglars:

  • Leaving windows open
  • Leaving valuables in plain sight to passersby
  • Posting whereabouts on social media sites
  • Hiding keys near the front door
  • Leaving postal deliveries out

In the same survey, ex-burglars reveal it only takes 2 minutes to break into a home with no visible alarm system and 78% say that an alarm system would make them target a different home entirely.
