Why Security Matters for Single‑Family Homes

National Burglary & Break-in Trends

• Roughly 2.5 million burglaries occur annually in the U.S., resulting in over $3.4 billion in losses.

• Burglaries declined by 7.6% in 2023-2024 and 18% since 2020, but vulnerabilities remain high for single-family homes.

• Criminals target single-family residences more than other property types—over 60% of residential break-ins occur in detached homes..

Porch Piracy & Package Theft

• In 2023-2024, nearly 58 million Americans were victims of package theft, with total losses around $12 billion.

• Security.org reports 17% of Americans experienced a package theft in just the prior three months, and nearly 44% have been targeted at least once.

Risk & Deterrence Insights

• 83% of convicted burglars avoid homes with visible alarm systems, making deterrence critical.

• Break-ins typically occur at front doors or first-floor windows, often within 60 seconds, and more than 28% happen during the day when homeowners aren’t present.

Key Security Considerations for Homeowners

• Monitor all entry points, including front/side doors and first-floor windows.

• Daytime break-ins are common—your home should remain protected when you’re out.

• Package theft is increasingly common: visible cameras deter theft and support recovery.

• High false alarm rates (up to 98%) underscore the need for proper setup and sensor calibration.

• Professionally monitored systems often qualify for insurance discounts and can improve your home’s resale value.

How Smart Shield Systems Keeps You Safe
