Over 1.2 million burglaries occur annually in the United States, with many burglars entering homes through unlocked doors and windows. Homeowners can prevent burglaries by securing their entry points. Key security solutions include using access control solutions or smart locks, installing home security cameras, avoiding keeping spare keys in obvious places, and utilizing a monitored alarm security system. The garage is a common entry point, so it is advised to keep the garage door closed, consider a smart garage with geofencing capabilities, install security cameras, and invest in remote access control. First-floor windows are also vulnerable, and securing them involves maintaining window locks, installing motion-sensitive or floodlights, using outdoor security cameras, using quality window coverings, and installing window sensors and glass-break detectors. Following these measures can help protect your home.
