3 Ways To Prevent Home Break-ins in Santa Barbara County

Homes without a security system have a 300% more chance of getting broken into! “Simple security measures go a long way in deterring potential thieves. Extra lighting and visible security cameras make buildings a less attractive target” Santa Barbara Police Dept.

1. Motion Sensor Lighting. The first and most important way to deter a home intruder is bright lighting. Criminals tend to look for dark places that look empty so it’s more difficult for them to get caught.

2. Look for vulnerable spots. Walk around outside your house to see if anyone from the outside has a view of your flat-screen tv or any other valuables.

3. A Home Security System. One of the best ways to prevent a break-in is by installing visible security cameras around your house. Monitor from your phone, get notified whenever someone triggers the sensors, and look back on stored video recordings.
