ADT ?Watches? Your Home While You?re Away

The Balancing Act On Lifetime Television Lists Valuable Tips To Improve Home Security

Pompano Beach 7/06/2009 04:40 AM GMT (TransWorldNews). Summer time is here, and families are on the go, with vacations, outdoor events, park visits and trips. Make this special time away from home even more enjoyable by protecting your home with a monitored alarm system. The Balancing Act on Lifetime Television welcomes Amy Kabcenell from ADT Security Systems with simple, effective tips for protecting homes, families and property. The segment airs July 7th and in the weeks that follow.

?Burglaries and property crimes increase during the summer months,? says Kabcenell. ?Not only that, the Police Executive Research Forum has found that as the economy has worsened, overall property crimes have shot up.? FBI reports say a home is burglarized every 15 seconds in America.

What can you do as a homeowner? Add an important layer of protection by installing a monitored security system by ADT, says Kabcenell. It gives property owners peace of mind while spending quality time away from home.

?It?s an excellent deterrent? to intruders and thieves. A Rutgers University five-year study ?showed burglars avoid homes with alarms,? she says. ?And research by Temple University found that an alarm makes a home three times less likely to be a burglar?s target.?

An added incentive is that most insurance companies offer 20 percent off premiums to homeowners with an alarm system.

ADT operates nationwide and its monitoring centers are staffed 24/7. This means all phases of your security; protection against intrusion, theft, and other critical conditions are managed all day, every day. There?s also a fully redundant back-up system in case of natural disasters.

To augment your security plan, try planting thorny bushes around windows, using motion sensor lights, notifying neighbors and police when you?re going away and stop newspaper deliveries.

?All smart ideas for protecting your home and property,? says Doug Campbell, Executive Vice President of Programming, BrandStar Entertainment, the producers of The Balancing Act. ?With ADT, you can bet that burglars and vandals won?t ruin your summer fun.?
