With numbers on the increase of home burglaries in Ireland, it is possible that you or someone you know has to be the victim of Theft. As one of our “now” customers told us before he got his Gokonnect Smart Home Security system in place, he had his home broken into 4 times in one week. But the question remains why are some homes targeted more than others. Before breaking into a home, there are certain things in a home for which a burglar will look.

Theft’s are always on the lookout for an easy target and having little lighting or no lighting around your home will make it easier for a burglar to get in and out of your home without being visible. This is should also be a concern for homeowners even if you are there. Lack of lighting makes it simpler for burglars to go unnoticed.

However, one thing most homeowners don’t consider is the too much lighting around your home can also be a sign to Home Thefts that your not there. If your away on holidays and think leaving lights on is a good deterrent, think again!! No one leaves there lights on in there home all night and a smart burglar will know this and it is a sure sign your not there.

You don’t have to be in the rolling hills of Monaghan to find the old ways of Irish life when the door was always open for the neighbors to call in for the tea. Surprising enough a lot of people still leave their doors open day and night around Ireland. One thing for sure is Home burglars don’t like to make much noise and the fast in fast out approach is usually applied.

65% of people in Ireland have a facebook account with 69% of them activity updating their status on a daily basis. We all know that person who checks in everywhere they go and to the savvy burglar, this is just the information they need to know your home is empty.

As we say to our customer’s burglars generally don’t come with ladders, meaning they are looking for an easy opportunity to gain access to your home. If you have a Smart Home Security system like the System installed by GoKonnect with real-time notifications alarms, automatic smart locks, smart motion detection cameras, and smart lighting control this makes it far from easy for an intruder to get in.
