If you already have a security system, remember to use it. It’s that simple. In a time when people are constantly on the go and have a very busy schedule it can easily be forgotten to set the alarm as you are rushing out the door.  If you do not arm the system it is not an effective tool. Most systems have two alarm settings “Stay/Home” and “Exit/Away” The stay/home setting will allow you to arm the perimeter while you are home allowing you to move freely around house. When you are leaving you will set your system for exit/away and this will arm the perimeter as well as the motion sensors in the home.
