Current Threats: Why Secure Your Home in Luxembourg?
In Luxembourg, a burglary occurs every 6 hours according to the latest Grand Ducal Police statistics. Detached houses make up 60% of targets, particularly in residential communes such as Hesperange, Strassen or Bertrange.
Alarming Statistics
- • 1,450 burglaries recorded in Luxembourg in 2024
- • 75% of intrusions happen during the day (10 am-4 pm)
- • 3 minutes: average duration of an undetected intrusion
- • 85% of burglars give up if an alarm system goes off
Faced with these growing threats, traditional solutions (locks, shutters) are no longer enough. KNX automation offers a revolutionary approach to residential security, turning your home into an intelligent, proactive protection system.
KNX Security Solutions: Multilayer Protection
KNX revolutionises home security by creating an intelligent ecosystem where every component communicates and reacts in real time. Here are the pillars of this multilayered protection:
