Scottsdale, AZ -- (SBWire) -- 02/13/2012 --It is every homeowner’s worst nightmare; coming home to find a stranger has been in the house and has damaged and stolen property, some irreplaceable. And with an estimated $15.7 billion in total losses for victims of property crimes in United States in 2011, it is important for homeowners to understand the most effective protective measures to have in place.

One of the first actions a homeowner can take is having a top-rate home security system installed.

But with a large number of security companies to choose from, it can be hard to know which one will offer the best protection.
