As a homeowner, it is only natural that you want to keep your home and family safe from intruders and would-be thieves. For those who don’t want to invest in a quality system via an alarm company in Oak Park, or other city across the country, you can try using ‘fake’ stickers, signs and security cameras to deter burglars. There are pros and cons to doing this:
Pros
* Minimal investment: The good news is that putting up a few stickers and fake cameras won’t break the bank. For a minimal investment, you can outfit your house with authentic-looking gear.
* Saves time: How long does it take to put up a few stickers and install a few fake cameras? You can have it all done in an hour or so. No fuss, no muss.
* It may work: These decals and cameras may deter would-be thieves and burglars; maybe.
Cons
* You get what you pay for: You may not be able to outsmart devious thieves. These people know what to look for and how to get into homes, no matter how many stickers you may have.
* If someone breaks in, nothing will happen: Ultimately, you’re not protected if someone does get into your home. No one is monitoring, and no authorities will be called on your behalf.
* There may be legal ramifications: Using stickers with company names and not actually using their services can get you into legal trouble because of copyright laws.
* A home alarm system is not just to deter burglars: Alarm systems can also alert you to carbon monoxide emergencies, call paramedics in case of a medical emergency and alert authorities in case of fire.
