Think you’re safe just because you locked the door? Think again.
According to the ABS last year alone, break-ins crept up to 2.1% of households — that’s over 218,000 homes. And here’s the part most people miss: around 75% of those break-ins were reported to police, yet 21% of those households were hit more than once. If a burglar likes what they see, they often come back for seconds.
It gets worse. Attempted break-ins happen at nearly the same rate — and property damage, whether they get in or not, is just more cost, hassle, and insurance calls for you.
So why are so many homes still easy pickings? Because fewer than half have stepped up their security. A barking dog helps, but a visible camera with smart motion detection and live alerts sends a stronger message: Try your luck somewhere else.
Most people know us for antennas — but these days, home security is one of our specialties. We install modern, reliable camera systems that do more than just watch. You get smart features: high-definition recording, night vision, mobile alerts, and cloud storage that makes sure you never lose the footage that could help the police.
More importantly, we know where to put them. A camera hidden behind a pot plant isn’t going to help you when someone creeps around the back fence. Our experts check every entry point, every blind spot, and make sure your system covers the places intruders love.
Most break-ins are about speed and ease. A well-placed camera adds risk, and criminals hate risk. That’s why they often move on when they see one blinking back at them.
And if you ever need to use the footage, you’ll be glad you invested in a setup that actually works.
With break-ins on the rise and repeat hits not uncommon, why roll the dice? Call Jim’s Antennas on 131 546 or book here to arrange your free onsite, no-obligation quote.
