A burglary occurs approximately every fifteen seconds in the United States. On average, a burglary results in a loss of about 1600 dollars. About 30 percent of all burglaries are residential, and of those, 62 percent occur during the daytime. Most burglaries occur between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Renters are more likely to be burglarized than homeowners.



Quick Tip: What is a Duress PIN?

A Duress PIN is a four-digit code that sends a covert “distress signal” to our alarm monitoring center. Whenever you enter your secret “Duress PIN” into your keypad, the system quietly sends your SOS signal to our monitoring center. We won't call your home, as we usually would to verify an alarm. Instead immediately dispatch the police straight to your home. You can enter this code into your keypad anytime to alert us of danger or use it if an intruder is forcing you to turn off your alarm. To program your Duress PIN use our Easy Setup Wizard.
