These days, you can’t be too careful with protecting your home. Residential security systems help prevent would-be burglars or vandals from entering your home, but are you confident in your current system’s ability to keep you and your home safe?
As existing security systems age and new technology becomes available, older systems are becoming less reliable for cautious homeowners. Below, we’d like to go over a few signs that it’s time to invest in a more effective residential security system.
- It’s outdated. Simply put, old security systems aren’t as effective as they were when you first installed them. Technology wears down over time and what once was reliable may now be hit or miss. Once your current system reaches 10 years old, you should strongly consider investing in a new one.
- Cameras are grainy. The purpose of security cameras is to survey your property and capture anything suspicious. If you’re using low quality cameras or video surveillance, you may not actually capture what you need to see. You want high quality visuals in your residential security system, so if your cameras produce a grainy image, it’s time for an upgrade.
- Your system is wired. Wires can be cut. Many older systems use wired security systems, and if your system is one of them, you should upgrade to wireless. As criminals become more and more desperate to break into homes, it’s important to take every precaution possible to make sure your system holds up against thieves and vandals.
