According to a study published by alarm.org and conducted by the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, enabling a home security system can decrease the likelihood your house will be targeted for burglary.
The study that focused on 422 imprisoned burglars from three different states found that only 13% would “continue the [burglary] attempt even after an alarm had been discovered” while “nearly 60% of the burglars said they would consider the presence of cameras or other video equipment when selecting a target.” Based on these statistics, it is evident that security systems serve as a deterrent for burglars. Because of this, homeowners should lessen the odds that their homes will be targeted and focus on securing their property with necessary safeguards.
Semtech’s LoRa® devices and wireless RF technology (LoRa Technology), a long-range, low-power wireless platform, and its associated LoRaWAN® protocol, provide the ideal solution for home security systems because they are low cost and can connect many different objects in a home without significant investment. The technology also has a deep penetrability for indoor connectivity. When utilizing security systems equipped with LoRa Technology, intercoms, security cameras, door and window alarm sensors, and automatic door locks are strategically placed around the home as a precaution. This allows a homeowner to defend him/herself against potential threats. The entire system can be operated by key chain sensors and smartphones at any time. For those homeowners who want to live safer and smarter with connectivity, real-time analytics, reporting and geolocation, LoRa Technology provides the necessary equipment to enable a high-tech security solution.
