Going Up North? Keep Your Property Safe with an Intrusion Alarm System

In Michigan, few traditions are as beloved as heading Up North for a weekend at the lake. Whether it’s a family cottage in Petoskey or a cabin in Traverse City, escaping the suburbs of Troy or Sterling Heights for a summer retreat is something locals look forward to all year.

But while you’re enjoying bonfires, boating, and sunshine, your primary home is left vulnerable—often for days or even weeks at a time.

That’s where a professionally monitored intrusion alarm system comes in.

🏠 Why Summer Travel Increases Security Risk

Summer is a peak season for home break-ins. Criminals know that many Michigan families head out of town—often posting their plans on social media, leaving newspapers piling up, or turning off lights for extended periods.

Unoccupied homes become prime targets for:

• Break-ins through back doors or basement windows
• Garage thefts (especially in homes with detached garages)
• Vandalism or loitering while the home is empty

With an intrusion alarm system from Vigilante Security, you don’t have to worry about what’s happening back home while you’re enjoying the lake.

🛡️ What Is an Intrusion Alarm System?

An intrusion alarm system is a comprehensive network of sensors and alerts that detect unauthorized entry into your home or property. These systems can include:

• Door/window sensors
• Motion detectors
• Glass break sensors
• Interior and exterior cameras
• Mobile alerts and remote monitoring
• 24/7 central station monitoring

At Vigilante Security, our systems are custom-designed for your property—ensuring full coverage whether you live in a 2-bedroom bungalow or a sprawling home in Bloomfield Hills.
