\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tFrom my 21 years of experience in the security industry, an alarm system will very likely deter thieves from entering your premises. While not impossible that someone may enter, the best prevention is the alarm system and if you include cameras, then you will have the best possible security protection.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

I recommend the alarm as the priority to deter thieves and ad cameras to achieve maximum security protection. \n\nCameras alone may not deter an intruder as they can wear face protection such as a hoody and take the camera equipment with them when thay leave.\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\tIf You Do Have An Operating Alarm System<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
