Don't Wait Until You Are Burgled to Install a Security Alarm System

Home burglaries continue to impact thousands of Australian families each year, yet many people only consider installing an alarm system after they’ve already been affected. 

Recent data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that the risk is significant: around 2% of households in Australia experienced a break-in over the past year, translating to nearly 195,000 homes impacted by this violation.

Although this rate has decreased from pre-COVID-19 levels, it’s up from the historic low seen during lockdown periods, when many people were staying home​.
