Lumber Thefts Are On The Rise: How Residential Video Surveillance Can Protect You
The surge in lumber prices has left many Calgarians scratching their heads. Should they build a new home or renovate it?
Nowadays, lumber is treated like gold. Its high demand has been attracting thieves around the city. In fact, Calgary authorities have been warning homeowners about a rise in theft, as lumber prices increase.
One of the many ways homeowners can protect their lumber as well as their home is to install live security video surveillance. Thieves will certainly think twice if they run the risk of being caught on a video camera!
Protect Your Home And Lumber With Residential Video Surveillance Cameras
Not long ago, having video surveillance installed in your home as a security measure was seen as over-the-top and expensive. Indeed, cameras were more commonly used for parking garages, businesses, and government agencies; they were never really seen as necessary for your home.
Nowadays, security surveillance has become standard in most homes largely thanks to increased availability and the ease of installation. Technological improvements have spurred major advancements in video quality and recording capability, all the while significantly reducing costs.
As lumber thefts continue to rise in Calgary, it might be time to consider installing a home security system to protect any lumber you may have for your home projects or renovations.

3 Benefits Of Residential Video Surveillance Cameras For Your Home
According to CTV News Calgary, many Calgarians are concerned about safely storing their lumber in their yards and garages, as theft continues to increase in the city.
Installing video surveillance cameras in and around your home can help deter burglars and give you peace of mind.
Here are some of the many ways video surveillance installation in your home can benefit you:
- Deter crime and theft: Just the mere presence of a security camera can deter criminals from your property. In most cases, thieves will inspect a home before they rob it. If they see professional surveillance cameras on your property, they will be much more inclined to abort their attempt. If you are a victim of a crime or theft, security footage can also provide evidence to the authorities.
- Have remote access to your home: Modern security systems can now let you remotely access and monitor live footage and request immediate access to authorities and emergency responders. Depending on your security provider, you will be able to control thermostats, smart keyless door locks, lighting, and much more while keeping an eye on your home from afar.
- Lower your homeowner's insurance: You will be eligible for home insurance discounts anywhere from 5% to 20% when you have a security system in place. Video surveillance shows insurance providers that you take your home protection seriously. In addition, in the event of a burglary, you will be able to provide a valid insurance claim with your security footage as evidence.
Conclusion
The sense of security and comfort you gain from installing an alarm system in your home is perhaps the greatest benefit of all. You and your family can confidently feel safe while knowing all of your belongings are being watched over—even when you are away. With lumber thefts on the rise in Calgary, now would be a great time to explore video surveillance options for your home's security.
