3 Proven Ways to Deter Home Intruders and Protect What Matters Most

 

When it comes to protecting your home and family, peace of mind starts with prevention. While no solution can completely eliminate the risk of a break-in, there are reliable ways to discourage intruders and make your property a far less attractive target. At Crime Prevention Security Systems, we believe smart preparation is the key to home security.

Here are three of the most effective deterrents you can use to protect your home:


1. A Loyal Four-Legged Alarm

Believe it or not, your dog may be one of your best security assets. Former burglars have reported that homes with vocal, territorial dogs are often passed over in favor of easier targets. But not all dogs make great guards. If your pup is more of a tail-wagger than a watchdog, you’ll want to supplement their presence with professional solutions like monitored alarm systems and video surveillance.

CPSS offers state-of-the-art burglar alarms and real-time monitoring—ensuring that help is just seconds away when you need it most.


2. Eliminate Hiding Spots Around Your Home

Overgrown hedges and cluttered yards don’t just reduce curb appeal—they create perfect cover for criminals. Tall bushes and lawn decorations can conceal suspicious activity and suggest that no one has been home for a while.

Before heading out of town, consider trimming landscaping or hiring a professional to maintain your lawn. Better yet, invest in a smart home security system that lets you control lighting, cameras, and even thermostat settings remotely. With CPSS, you can appear present—even when you’re miles away.


3. Install a Visible Home Security System

Nothing sends a stronger message to would-be intruders than the sight of a security camera. Visible surveillance equipment, motion-detecting lights, and alarm system signage all work to deter criminals before they ever reach your door.

Our video surveillance solutions are designed not just for recording—but for prevention. And with 24/7 monitoring, your system doesn’t sleep, even when you do.


Stay One Step Ahead of Intruders

The reality is this: while you can’t predict crime, you can prepare for it. Implementing a few simple deterrents can drastically improve your home’s security.
