No matter if you live closer to Mount Mitchell than Atlantic Ocean, if you prefer the summer highs of 88 degrees or the winter lows of 30, you are a North Carolinian. This state has a lot to offer:
Security systems help protect you from potential break-ins. This year, your home has a 1 in 92 chance of being burglarized, according to statistics from the FBI and the census.1, 2 You can help decrease the likelihood of your home being targeted with a professionally monitored security system. Research has shown that homes with security systems are approximately 3 times less likely to be the target of a burglary.34
Even though annual break-ins in North Carolina decreased from 107,830 in 2009 to 102,690 in 2010, there are still around 8,557 break-ins every month in the The Tar Heel State. And North Carolina is still 80% higher than the national average in property crimes.2
ADT in North Carolina helps prevent break-ins by helping deter would-be burglars. The U.S. Department of Justice reported that 9 out of 10 burglars avoided homes protected by security systems4.
North Carolina currently has 9.90% unemployment; and this rate has been about the same for a few years.1 There are over 921,095 people in North Carolina who lack a stable source of income.1 Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have found a direct correlation between unemployment and property crime. So it is unlikely that the number of break-ins will decrease anytime soon.5
In North Carolina, the average loss from a break-in is $1,609 , resulting in approximately $13,720,103 stolen from North Carolinians each year2. For that same amount, you can get more than three years of ADT alarm monitoring.1
Many people assume burglars prefer to work at night, but in 2009 over 63% of reported burglaries in North Carolina happened in the middle of the day.2 Because they know no one is home, burglars spend an average of 8 minutes in a home, compared to law enforcement that takes more than 11 minutes to respond in 62% of burglaries.2
Professional alarm monitoring from ADT in North Carolina helps protect your home at any hour of the day. Interconnected ADT Customer Monitoring Centers respond to 93,000 alarms every day. To help ensure a faster response to the alarms, ADT interfaces with 38,000 local response agencies, like fire departments and law enforcement.
Helping protect your home from break-ins is only one part of the safety offered by ADT in North Carolina. Home security systems can also be indispensable in fires and floods.
Many homes in North Carolina may be susceptible to ground seepage when a lot of rain falls quickly. When an area experiences a great deal of rain, the water table rises as the water spreads out through the permeable rocks and flooding can occur. ADT monitored flood sensors can send an alarm the instant moisture is detected in your basement from ground seepage.
The National Fire Protection Association reported that fire departments responded to 1.3 million fires in 2010, which is an average of 1 every 24 seconds. Fires caused $7.1 billion in property loss, with more than 80% occurring in residential properties. There are only 1,287 fire departments in North Carolina, or 1 for every 2,844 households.8
Fire deaths in North Carolina are above the national average. In 2010 the U.S. Fire Administration reported 138 fire-death mortalities.6
With smoke detectors as part of your ADT monitored home security system, if temperatures spike or smoke appears, these sensors will sound an alarm. ADT monitoring professionals will respond and can contact fire authorities on your behalf as you evacuate, if the situation warrants.
