The ongoing evolution of home security on Long Island

East end home owners experience a unique situation compared to other areas on Long Island; visitors flock to the Hamptons during the summer. While some of these visitors own summer homes, many are just passing through to enjoy a good time. And many of these visitors are aware that many homes in the area belong to the wealthy – and that there are desirable valuables within them. This makes security an added priority.

Yet, as of today, according to the National Council for Home Safety and Security, an industry trade association, only 17 percent of homes in this country have a security system. Now more than ever, security systems are easier to install, monitor and maintain. Thieves tend to avoid homes with security systems – the initial deterrence alone can spare families the tragedy of a break-in. Perhaps that’s why, by 2020, the number of people using smart home security is expected to increase to over 22 million. That is up from nearly 3 million users in 2014, according to
