Sure, you can cut your own hair. You can give yourself stitches after a bad injury. You can even slide under the hood of your car to change those squeaky brakes. Don’t get us wrong. We love a good DIY project. …But, just because you can DIY, should you? We get it. It feels that there are endless options when it comes to securing your home. And DIY home security systems may seem like an attractive option to secure your home. Many people feel confident that they can tackle the install without a problem. But, it’s never as easy as it looks. DIY involves picking out all the devices on your own or mixing and matching devices from a big box store. While the system you’ve built is great in theory, you might not be aware of the holes in your brand-new system until it’s too late. Did you know that improper placement of motion detectors can lead to costly accidental alarms? That your WiFi strength affects the quality of your video surveillance? Or that even with several security devi...

As the weather heats up, it’s easy to let your guard down. But did you know, summer is one of the busiest seasons for home break-ins? With many people eager to head out of their homes and offices and enjoy some fun in the sun, more houses are left empty, making them vulnerable to burglaries and other crimes. What the research says about crime in the summer Studies from around the world have demonstrated that crimes jumps during the warmer months — and even when it’s unseasonably warm in the winter. A report from Drexel’s Dornsife School of Public Health , based on a decade’s worth of crime data, found overall crime rates were highest in the warmest months of the way. A report from the U.S. Department of Justice revealed also revealed a clear trend: Rates of household property crimes tended to be higher in the summer (June, July, and August) than during other seasons of the year. Burglary showed the strongest seasonality of all household property crimes, with average burglary rates ...

We’re thinking of some very special someones this week. How about we give you a few clues, and try to guess? Here we go! Clue #1: The only way he can give directions is by describing the destination’s proximity to landmarks — even though you’ve explained you just need to plug the address into Google Maps. Clue #2: He can sense a light was left on in an empty room, or a fridge door is open, from anywhere in the world. Clue #3: He wishes you would call your mom more often. She’s your mother, after all. Clue #4: He loves you like crazy, and would move mountains to keep you safe. Give up? We’re talking about dear, old Dad. This is his month, after all! Guardian Protection is a family company at heart, and we have tons of proud papas on our team! In honor of Father’s Day, we asked a few to share some things they wish they’d known before they became Dads. Some of these gave us a pretty good laugh, and we hope you enjoy it, too. 1. “Full” doesn’t really mean full. I wish I would have ...

When everything you care about is protected, you feel good, confident, and at ease. So why do so few of us take the necessary steps to protect our valuables and our loved ones? Often, the biggest investment of our life – where we live or the business we own – is the least connected to us. All you need to do to get started is make the decision to protect your world. Simple, right? That’s step one. Step two requires a little more thought and planning. How do you make a home safer, smarter, and more connected? It’s all about the layers. You may have heard us discuss the benefits of multi-layered deterrents in another post. Security experts compare layered home security to putting on multiple layers of clothing on a really cold day. The more security barriers you stack up between your home and would-be intruders, the less likely it is your house will be viewed as an easy target. One more question: What  are  the different security layers that make up a sma...

When you hear a security company talk about “professional monitoring,” you might immediately think about burglary and intrusion protection. Makes sense, because professional monitoring is the best way to deter intruders and help protect your home from break-ins. In fact, a study conducted by The University of North Carolina at Charlotte Department of Criminal Justice & Criminology revealed 60% of burglars would change their mind if they see an alarm system is installed. But professional monitoring is really about keeping you safe overall, and helping protect what matters most. It can be used to help protect against a variety of common homeowner concerns — ones that are potentially lethal, and ones that can lead to devastating property damage. For example, did you know that your home can also be monitored for environmental threats, such as fire, carbon monoxide, and water leaks? When combined with security monitoring, life safety and environmental monitoring takes your home’s saf...
