From the top of Backbone Mountain all the way to Atlantic Ocean, 5,657,438 Marylanders call this state home. The Old Line State has a range of climates, with some areas reaching temperatures of 87 degrees in the summer and others seeing lows of 25 in winter months. On average, Maryland sees 42.7 inches of rainfall annually. Maryland currently sits at 43 on the comfort index.
Security systems help protect you from potential break-ins. This year, your home has a 1 in 157 chance of being burglarized, according to census data and FBI crime statistics.1, 2 You can reduce these odds to as much as 1 in 473 with a professionally monitored security system. According to university researchers, homes with security systems are approximately 3 times less likely to be targeted for break-ins.34
Property crime in the The Old Line State averages around 3,045 every month, which is 1% less than the national average. In addition, burglaries decreased from the year before, which is good news. Despite this decrease it is important to remember there are still over 702 break-ins every week.2
ADT Maryland helps deter would-be burglars. The U.S. Department of Justice reported that 9 out of 10 burglars avoided homes protected by security systems4.
Maryland unemployment is currently at 6.50% and this rate has been about the same for a few years.1 This means that, at the moment, there are over 367,733 people in Maryland lacking a stable income.1 Researchers at UC Berkeley conducted a study and found that when unemployment rises, so does property crime. So it is unlikely that the number of break-ins will decrease anytime soon.5
In Maryland, the average loss from a break-in is $1,657 , resulting in approximately $3,496,984 stolen from Marylanders each year2. For what you could lose in a single break-in, you can get more than three years, or 26,000 hours, of continuous ADT alarm monitoring.1
It's a little known fact that more break-ins occur during the daytime. In fact, in Maryland 36% of break-ins took place in broad daylight.2 During the day, the response time for local law enforcement is between 11 minutes and an hour in 46.9% of burglaries. That can give robbers, who spend between 8 - 11 minutes in a home, enough time to get in and out before they arrive.2
ADT home security monitoring can function at any hour of the day. ADT Security Services Inc. operates six interconnected Customer Monitoring Centers (CMC) and responds to more than 93,000 alarms daily. These CMCs interface with more than 38,000 law enforcement, medical and fire agencies across the country, to help assure the fastest possible response in an emergency.
Maryland ADT monitoring also helps you protect your home from floods and fires, with early detection.
Many homes in Maryland may be susceptible to ground seepage due to low elevation and high precipitation. Ground seepage most often occurs after there has been a lot of rainfall in a short amount of time. When an area experiences a great deal of rain, the water table rises and flooding can occur. ADT flood sensors can send an alarm the instant moisture is detected in your basement from ground seepage.
In Maryland there are 367 fire departments in all. According to the Nation Fire Protection Association, on average a fire department will respond to 2-3 fires every minute, and fire agencies nationwide responded to more than 1.3 million fires anually, which caused over $7 billion in property damage.8
In 2010, there were only 55 fire related deaths in Maryland, which is comfortably below the national average.6 However the National Fire Protection Association still estimates that a single home can experience 5 fires in an average lifetime.7
ADT's heat and smoke detectors will automatically notify you of large temperature spikes or if there is smoke present in your home. Not only will you be alerted immediately of the presence of a fire, but ADT monitoring professionals can automatically alert the fire department in your area as you evacuate your home.
