Automated systems offer limited personal protection.
- Alarm company signs may discourage some criminals from breaking into homes
equipped with alarm systems, but Druid Hills has experienced "snatch and go"
robberies despite blaring alarms.
- Security systems only notify you that an intruder has already entered your
home. They don't prevent criminal access to your property -- your driveway and
backyard.
- Security systems don't protect you when your system is disarmed, for
example while you or your children move between your house and your yard.
