It’s the time of year when our thoughts turn to the upcoming holidays. We consider our travel plans, family and friends stopping by, and packages left by the door. It’s a great, if not tiring, time of year. 

It’s also the time that many people consider the latest home security. Unfortunately, according to the National Crime Victimization Survey, two types of crimes increase in December: theft and robbery. Often, this comes in the form of “porch pirates” or criminals scouting out vacant homes.

The latest security cameras offer features once limited to commercial establishments, taking home security to the preventative realm. Let’s explore the benefits and why now is the time to start planning your security camera installation.
