[quote=spdrun]Wouldn’t a burglar just wait till you’re not home, kick down the door, or bust a window and steal a few expensive things before the cops had a chance to get there?
Also, not sure if a cloudfree door lock (say one that communicates with a phone via Bluetooth and requires a private key stored on the phone + code entry) would be less secure than an old-school key.[/quote]
Well first of all, I have an iron security front door. Second, breaking window would be loud and wake up my extremely nosey neighbors. Third I really don’t have valuables to steal at home. The response time from sdpd to my house is pretty quick since I had a few false alarms.
Last, if I was a burglar, I’d hit the other houses that don’t have a burglar alarm.
Since my street has a lot of families that are home all the time, that helps too.
