Don’t Let Misconceptions Leave Your Home Vulnerable

At Emergency Alert Security, we hear a lot of reasons why Baton Rouge residents delay installing a home security system. But most of the time, those reasons are based on outdated information.

Let’s set the record straight.

🔒 Myth #1: “Security systems are too expensive.”

Truth: Thanks to wireless technology, security systems are now more affordable than ever. You can start with basic coverage and expand over time. Plus, monitored systems often qualify for insurance discounts.

🏠 Myth #2: “I rent, so I can’t have one.”

Truth: We install non-invasive, portable security systems perfect for apartments, condos, and rental homes. They’re easy to move when you do.

🧭 Myth #3: “My neighborhood is safe, I don’t need one.”

Truth: Even “safe” areas in Baton Rouge have break-ins. And modern systems protect more than just against theft—they help with fire, flood, and even medical emergencies.


Don’t fall for outdated thinking. Whether you live near LSU or in Central, modern home security is for everyone.
