Home security is a priority in Mexico, where home burglaries continue to be a growing problem. According to INEGI data, more than 300,000 home burglaries were reported in the country in 2023, and 67% of the affected homes did not have a security system.

3. Use smart lighting and presence simulators
Many burglaries occur when criminals sense that the house is empty. Schedule smart lights to turn on at random times and use cameras with built-in speakers to deter intruders.
Additionally, a sticker from your security company on your front door is a great deterrent.
4. Join a neighborhood watch network
Creating a connected community helps prevent crime. Inform your neighbors about any suspicious activity and consider installing a community security system .
5. Check the insecurity trends in your area
Before leaving home or traveling, find out about the levels of insecurity in your city. For example, CDMX and Edomex are the states with the highest incidence of robberies.
