Security advice for detached houses
Detached homes have more entry points on average: front, back, and side doors plus garage access. A multi-zone alarm covering all perimeter doors and ground-floor windows is recommended.
Because detached homes are not overlooked by immediate neighbours, monitored alarms that alert a response centre are particularly effective.
Motion-activated outdoor lighting combined with a visible alarm bell box is one of the strongest deterrents for opportunist burglars.
