Intruder alarm is not a hassle, but essential

According to a report from the largest security association in the United States, Electronic Security Association (ESA), 9 out of 10 burglars avoid homes with alarm systems and said if they did encounter an alarm, they would not attack the home. Other than performing as a deterrent to potential crime, alarm system is needed to:-
