This Is The First Place A Burglar Thinks To Break Into Your Home

On the note of security, door sensors, window sensors, glass-break sensors … these are all great home safety items Sheets mentioned.

“Homeowners will receive alerts for both forced entry through doors or windows, as well as glass breakage, ensuring comprehensive protection,” he explained.

Often, security systems offer 24/7 monitoring, video surveillance and instant alerts, Sheets added, which deter burglars. Further, if they break in anyway, these systems will alert the authorities for you.

So naturally, it makes sense that Gabriele said this is the “very best way to protect yourself.”

“Beyond the actual protection entry sensors and cameras provide, they tell burglars in plain language that your home is secure,” he continued. “Even a video doorbell is a bright red warning to anyone who might be thinking about breaking into your home.”
