Burglary is often the number one fear of house occupants. Knowing that this type of unfortunate event occurs during the day and first in an unoccupied dwelling, adopt innovations that will strongly dissuade thieves.

Simulate your presence

In the age of the intelligent (and communicating) home, home automation is your first weapon against burglaries. In addition to the traditional alarm that warns the neighbours or the police, you can now use new technologies to dissuade potential burglars. In this case, it is simply a matter of simulating your presence by programming the lighting at night and an hour in the morning, the opening and closing of the shutters, and even the television during the day, as this is when the vast majority of burglaries take place. You control everything from a computer or even from your smartphone.

Biometrics at the door

When it comes to door protection (54% of burglars use this method), biometrics are now a must. If the multipoint lock is now an obvious choice, in the absence of an armoured door, there are now systems that allow the door to be opened by fingerprint recognition.

Leave your home... occupied

Let's not forget that innovation also means knowing how to integrate new lifestyles! As we know, burglars do not act randomly and first attack empty houses. So why not adopt a "societal" method of security by exchanging houses when you go on holiday, or by renting from one person to another? This way, your home will always be occupied, even when you are away.
