Why Do People Get Home Security Products?

In a study conducted by Safety.com, only 38% of Americans have home security products installed in their home. Here are some other top reasons why people purchase home security products:

• Wanted to feel more secure in their home (peace-of-mind)
• Living in a new area
• In response to an unsuccessfully attempted break-in
• Experienced a home break-in
• Many neighbors have them
• They are a deterrent to burglars
• Required to receive an insurance discount

The study, which had over 3,000 respondents, showed that most people installed alarm systems for added home security and not because of a personal event.

Increased Interest in Home Protection Products:

Every year we hear more about “porch pirates,” people that steal delivered items off strangers’ porches before they are collected. It is especially gaining in popularity around the holiday season.

With the COVID-19 pandemic, people have made lifestyle changes to increase their safety. That is why more people have been adding security systems, photo and video capabilities that show who is at their door before they are allowed in.
