The Latest Technology Creates Greater Safety and Security

We’re fortunate to live in a beautiful city with a relatively low crime rate and a friendly community. Unfortunately, several recent events have left people wondering what they can do to keep their homes and businesses safe. 

For instance, in August 2022, four men were arrested in connection with a home invasion in McLean, VA. Another neighborhood in the area experienced five burglaries in 2019, one in 2021, and stolen property from a vehicle. As a result, about 12 homes decided to take matters into their own hands, installing cameras that scan the license plate of cars entering their neighborhood. According to the community, it's working and has served as a crime deterrent since it was installed in August 2021.

We shared these statistics to let you know that you can take a proactive stance and that there are steps you can take to keep your home and family safe. One of these steps is installing a smart home security system.
