Alarm in Cape Town

WirelessAlert's crime prevention systems use early warning perimeter alarm security systems to inform everyone of the presence of the intruder.

Police aside, if the homeowner caught you on his property, there was a good chance you’d wind up on the losing end. With this knowledge and understanding you can design your security more appropriately, spend your budget more wisely, and save a lot of money. Intelligence (not Drama) is your key to safety Every crime victim you talk to has an alarm system with a working siren; so how did they become a victim of surprise attack? Like everyone else, they deactivated their system and siren the moment they arrived home! Somehow they think that it’s only when one’s asleep that one is vulnerable. They do their homework and come well prepared; and 2) Drug Dependants Who are desperate and simply don’t care. They’re brutal and take massive risks no sane person would; and are therefore not halted by ordinary security measures that are designed to dissuade a sane person ! Both groups target you When You’re Home, and both groups are deadly dangerous. Economics of Crime Like any business, crime is a risk-versus-reward enterprise: The greatest reward for the least risk. When they break down your electric fence they know it triggers an alarm, so when they breach your fence they’re not intending to get over the wall or fence there and then. Sirens, confrontation, gunshots, etc; these are not new for him; they’re part of his job description. When he does whatever he does, it’s up and over the wall, and into the night. If you have perfect knowledge of where he is (but he doesn’t realize it); the whole situation swings completely into your favour: Dangerous (to you) confrontation is reduced, clean capture is boosted, conviction is assured. A robber’s real risk A robber’s only real risk is in being identified as he crosses your boundary, and dealt with intelligently. As stated above, his risk is completely eliminated when he’s given an automated (siren) warning to run (and return another day, better prepared). You’re the target; When you’re home When it’s clear that nobody is home (in your house), you, as an honest citizen, would imagine that a burglar would see it as an opportunity. Your alarm will certainly be on and, more importantly, what valuables are inside that he wants? He is pretty sure you don’t want the aggravation of a siren, so your alarm is probably off and a window probably open. If he suspects it’s on, he has various ways to trying and get round it. Again; when he makes his attempt, he does so with a Plan-B very much in his mind; the instant he hears your siren (it’s his best friend that alerts and keeps him safe! Whether he attacks or flees, it’s highly unlikely you’ll catch him this day. And, next time he’s on your property, he’ll remember precisely one more obstacle to avoid in his attempt. Silent betrayal terrifies any criminal And this brings us full circle: Criminals target you when you’re home. Armed response has been called, neighbours are alerted, neighbourhood watch is on its way.
