How Monitored Alarm Systems Help Prevent Daytime Burglaries

Monitored alarm systems provide more than just an alert for intruders, but instead are entirely connected system of security where each sensor, detector, or alarm panel communicates comfortability with a monitoring center that monitors the system 24/7. 

In a monitored system: 

1) If an intruder attempts a break-in or a sensor detects something unusual, the system sends an alert to the monitoring team. 

2) The monitoring team confirms the alarm and calls emergency responders or calls the homeowner; taking action immediately. 

3) Even if you are away from home or unreachable, the system ensures action will be taken sooner rather than later in order to minimize loss or damage.

Active monitoring helps to account the time delay between detection and action which is an especially important part of a conversation around daytime burglaries that may be undetected until it’s too late.

Reasons Why the Daytime Burglaries Are Increasing

Today’s burglars know when to break-in, often targeting residences at moments when: 

The owners are at work and/or school. 

Neighborhood activity is at a low point. 

When deliveries are being made, or there are unlocked front gates to lure them in. 

Because of these burglaries typically occurring in broad daylight, many residents believe even outdoor lights and various CCTV cameras may not be effective deterrents. What residents need is a proven, monitored, quick response alert, which only monitored alarm systems can provide.

Main Benefits of Monitored Alarm Systems

1. 24/7 Professional Monitoring

Even the best alarm is of little use if no one is going to take necessary action. Monitored systems give you confidence that a trained professional would be watching and responding to a possible emergency or burglar, every day of the year, around-the-clock.

2. Quick Emergency Response

Every time a monitored alarm is triggered, emergency professionals not only are notified in real time but quickly as well. What happens next can substantially affect the difference between prevention and reporting the burglary after the fact.

3. Remote Observe & Alerts

Most modern monitored systems offer some integration with a mobile app. This provides your ability to quickly access notification alerts, arm/disarm the systems, and often a look or check at what is happening at the home, regardless of your location.

The Reality of True Security 

In several recent instances across Indian cities, such as Bhopal, Delhi, and Indore, burglars targeted vacant residences during daylight hours, resulting in substantial losses. Conversely, properties that had an established live alarm monitoring system received immediate responses and averted escalation prior to widespread damage.   

This illustrates that live monitoring doesn’t simply detect but it also protects.   

Why DFS? 

At DFS, we consider true ‘protection’ to be more than just detection. Our monitored alarm systems are designed to provide:   

• Notifications of unauthorized access, instantaneously.   
• Secure, real-time access to emergency services.   
• Monitoring of homes and businesses on a continual 24/7 basis.   
• Interfacing with fire and smoke alarms to round out true property safety.   

Whether you are at work, on vacation, or asleep at night, your property is continually under active professional surveillance.   

Final Remarks   

In the modern world, “burglars” have transitioned into a different behavioral phase, and it is time for you to also configure your security into an equally adaptive mode of protection. With the majority of capers now happening in daylight, all the locks in the world cannot hold back a determined break-in.    

By having monitored alarm systems in place, your home or business will never stand unprotected, providing true protection when it is needed most.
