However, here at Safe, we believe that security lights, when used correctly, will deter thieves and burglars.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Pros &amp; Cons of Security Lighting&nbsp; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pros<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Burglar deterrent<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In 2017, Co-op interviewed ex-burglars to discuss what deterred them from breaking into a home and found that motion-activated security lights were in the top 10 deterrents.<\/p>\n<p>Outdoor lighting has been known to cut crime by up to 39% in the US, and there\u2019s little reason for it to be any different over here.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Energy-saving [motion-detection]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Having a light on all night would rack up the energy bills, so motion-detecting lights provide the deterrent to burglars without using lots of electricity.<\/p>\n<p>Cons<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Can be annoying to residents &amp; neighbours<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A con of motion-detection security lights is that they can go off for seemingly no reason, which can cause an annoyance.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Placement Around the House<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When it comes to placement, the key is to think about areas that are vulnerable but are also in view. There\u2019s little point in illuminating an area if it\u2019s not overlooked, because if a burglar doesn\u2019t feel exposed and potentially under someone\u2019s watchful view, they\u2019re not going to be deterred.<\/p>\n<p>The areas you should think about covering:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The entrance<\/li>\n<li>Down the side of the house, if it\u2019s overlooked\/visible from the street<\/li>\n<li>Above any gates<\/li>\n<li>Where you park your cars<\/li>\n<li>Garage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All home entrances should be covered with lighting, whether it\u2019s security lighting or a wall light for practical reasons. This means that your entrances will be illuminated whether it\u2019s a wanted or unwanted guest that approaches your home.<\/p>\n<p>Burglars will always try doors and windows to see if they\u2019ve accidentally been left open, so if you illuminate them, they\u2019re less likely to try in case they\u2019re seen doing so.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br>Top 5 Products<br><\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Yale All-in-One HD 1080p Outdoor Wi-Fi Security Camera<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>An all in one product that boasts a HD video recording camera, an alarm siren as well as a motion detection spotlight.
