Home security and surveillance give homeowners peace of mind that’s justified because up to 60% of burglars casing a potential target are deterred by home security systems. Among security equipment, video surveillance has the highest potential for growth as more residences are wired to be “smart homes,” integrating internet-based features for total control and protection. In addition to security cameras and alarms, home security franchises can provide other options, like reinforced locks and strategic lighting, that can help homeowners feel safe.
