Some of the best home security equipment from top brands like Arlo and Swann is currently available at highly reduced prices at JB Hi-Fi, making it even easier to protect your house or business, and feel secure no matter where you are.
With new Australian Bureau of Statistics figures showing that while the number of cases of unlawful entry with intent dropped 23 per cent in 2020, four per cent of Australian households – around 423,000 properties – experienced an actual or attempted break-in last year.
Three quarters of those were residential and 62 per cent of those had property stolen.
An even more confronting figure comes from 2019-2020, when there were 238,100 successful household break-ins and 12 per cent of victims had contact with the intruder.
Interestingly, 89 per cent of respondents are content with locking doors and windows to protect their abode. Yet only 32 per cent say a security camera is the way to go, and 27 per cent suggest a security alarm system. Hopefully these deals from JB Hi-Fi will swing those numbers and make things bad for those looking to burglarise your property.
