When Do Most Break-Ins Happen? And How You Can Stay One Step Ahead

Kristie Alves • April 24, 2025

    When most people think of a break-in, they imagine a burglar sneaking around in the dark of night. But

here’s the surprise—most break-ins happen during the day, not at night.


The Truth About Burglary Timing:


According to data from the FBI and multiple home security studies:


  • Most residential burglaries happen between 10 AM and 3 PM, when homeowners are likely at work or running errands.
  • Break-ins are more common during summer months, when families are on vacation or out enjoying the day.
  • Front doors and first-floor windows are the most common entry points.


    That means while you're out living your life, someone else could be watching for an opportunity. So how do you protect your home when you're not there?


How Alarm.com Products Keep You Covered:


    At J&J Security Services, we partner with Alarm.com to bring you cutting-edge smart security that goes beyond a traditional alarm. Here’s how some of their most powerful tools help prevent daytime break-ins:


Video Doorbells & Outdoor Cameras


    See and speak to anyone who approaches your home—whether it’s a package delivery or an unwanted visitor. With HD video, motion alerts, and 2-way audio, you stay connected from anywhere.

✅ You can even receive clips directly to your phone when motion is detected near your front door.

Smart Motion Sensors & Window Contacts


    Our smart sensors can alert you the moment a door or window is opened. Paired with Alarm.com’s powerful app, you’ll get real-time notifications no matter where you are.


Smart Lights & Schedules


    Set lights to turn on automatically when motion is detected, or program them to mimic your routine when you’re away. A well-lit home is a major deterrent to intruders.


24/7 Monitoring + Instant Alerts


    If someone does try to break in, you’re not alone. With professional monitoring, emergency responders can be dispatched immediately—even if you’re unreachable.
