2. Stopping intruders from gaining entry to your home.

3. Giving sufficient notice or detecting an unlawful entry into your home.

4. Having other safety features such as fire and smoke detectors as added protection.

5. Installing a home security system will likely lower your homeowner’s insurance rate because the more steps you take in protecting your home, the less risk you become to your insurance company.

7. Protecting priceless heirlooms and other similar valuables.

Other factors that should be considered before investing in a burglar alarm system are the terms of your contract with the security company, the ability to expand or upgrade when needed, and warranties of the system.
