How to Secure Your TV and deter thieves: Tips from security experts
Get a TV stand or mount that can be secured to the wall
A stand or mount secured to the wall will require anyone who wants to steal it to cut it out of the wall, which is not easy and certainly not inconspicuous. Additionally, a TV stand or mount that’s secured to the wall is less likely to tip over and cause injury.
If you’re on the market for a TV stand or mount that can be secured to the wall, here are some options:
– Buy an affordable aluminum one at Walmart: http://amzn.to/2jYh8i5
– Buy a sturdy plastic one at Target: http://amzn.to/2kfA84R or http://amzn.to/2jYh8i5
– Buy a TV stand or mount with a pegboard for hanging things at Ikea: http://amzn.to/2jYh8i5
– Buy a TV stand or mount with a plastic base at Amazon: http://amzn.to/2kfA84R [and the price will be lower if you buy it together with a 40″ flat screen TV]
Here are the Walmart, Target, Ikea and Amazon prices of various models:

Place your TV in a visible area of your home, where it is easily seen from the street
In a public space such as a common room in your home containing the television and other household items, you’ll obviously want the television to be visible from the street. This is not just for the sake of deterrence, it is also important in cases where the TV is stolen from a home or apartment complex (and you want to recover it before the thief gets the cash or items from your home). It is also useful if it does get stolen and you don’t want to go through all of this hassle again.
To start, find a place for your TV that is actually visible from the street and would be obvious to a passerby. If it is too far away, people will probably not notice it and more than likely, the thief will not even notice it when they are sitting in their car or getting out of their car.
Make sure to avoid placing the TV near windows that you can’t see through or outside/bathroom windows that are easy to break into.
The most important thing is to make sure that someone can tell that your TV is indeed a TV (try and pick a model of TV that isn’t common in other homes or too similar to a model that looks like a laptop/monitor/decorative item).

Install an alarm system or security cameras to deter thieves
Though rare, criminals have been known to target homes with security systems for their own purposes. Though this is not a foolproof deterrent, it is a good idea to install an alarm system or security cameras at the very minimum. Many alarm systems include a TV monitor that allows you to see when and if anyone approaches the home while it is armed, this is very handy in the case of a robbery or theft.
For more information on home security systems, feel free to ask us your questions through our website.
