Did you know that there are many myths and misconceptions about home safety that could put you at risk?
In this article, we will review and debunk the 5 most prevalent myths to help you make more informed decisions to protect what matters most to you.
Myth 1. “My neighborhood is safe, I don’t need a home security system”
It is a common misconception that living in a "quiet" area protects you from robbery. The reality is that criminals prefer residential areas considered safe because they tend to have fewer protective measures. In fact, in recent years there has been an increase in robberies in traditionally "safe" areas throughout Mexico.
Not in vain, the latest National Survey of Urban Public Security (ENSU) indicates that 59.4% of the adult population considers it unsafe to live in their neighborhoods, especially if they are urban areas.
Home security depends more than anything on your own preventive measures, so we recommend that you always take proactive measures, no matter what city or neighborhood you live in.
Myth 2. “Alarms are expensive and difficult to install.”
With today's technology, alarms have evolved significantly. Now you can have a modern and affordable security system, which allows you to control everything from a simple app, without installation complications. At cuid, we offer options that adapt to your needs and budget, ensuring uninterrupted protection.
Myth 3. “Only large houses, residential buildings or companies need video surveillance.”
This myth leaves many small businesses in Mexico vulnerable. Small businesses and SMEs are one of the main targets of crime. Implementing a security system for your business and/or home will considerably reduce the risks and also give you peace of mind while monitoring your home or business with WIFI security cameras in real time from your cell phone.
Myth 4. “Theft only happens when I’m not at home.”
Wrong! The reality is that a large percentage of burglaries occur while people are inside their homes. This recent report proves that the time when most burglaries occur is between 2 and 3 in the morning , when we are at home sleeping.
To avoid being caught off guard, a home security system with a 24/7 monitoring center and response team is key to acting quickly in the event of an emergency.
Myth 5. “Only public places are dangerous.”
It is important to be aware that theft and crime are not limited to public roads. According to recent statistics, more than 40% of thefts in Mexico occur on private property, including homes and businesses. It is better to be safe than sorry!
