More Homeowners Considering High Tech Security Systems
The numbers of people with homes to plunder has risen fast in recent years. But police and security experts say robbers are hitting homes more because their traditional targets — banks, stores and offices — have been hardened with closed-circuit video surveillance, alarms and guards. By comparison, security at many private homes remains lax, they say. Indeed, in several high-profile crimes, assailants gained access through unlocked doors. In other cases, home-alarm systems apparently weren’t turned on. Security and alarm experts say this is a surprisingly common mistake: Many homeowners lock their doors and set alarms only when they are away.
