The Courier ran a story today about the recent string of rooftop burglaries that have been happening on the Westside.
One of the easy additions to your alarm system that will combat these types of burglaries is having a glassbreak detector installed in each room. At a minimum though, every door and window really needs to have a contact on it. It is not good enough any more to simply rely on a single motion detector in the upstairs hallway.
Over the past week, we have been very busy speaking with both brand new and older clients about this issue. If it has been a few years since your alarm system was installed, please give us a call or e-mail to come by and offer some suggestions for maximizing the level of detection your alarm provides.
UPDATE: a condensed version of this story was also published in Saturday’s Vancouver Sun.
