In 2015 over 45,000 motorcycles and dirt bikes were stolen, so securing your motorcycle and dirt bike should be a high priority. Most riders have well over $8000 into their dirt bike and over $1500 in gear which makes our sport a high theft target.
In most cases dirt bike thief's are looking for an easy target with little chance of getting caught. Therefore adding a security camera system like the XMartO Wireless Security System is an easy way to make your house a hard target, and keep your dirt bikes or motorcycle safe. Keep in mind if a thief wants to break into your house they're going to get in, but adding a security camera can help protect you from the random break in, and allow you to give more information to the police like pictures of the thieves and the cars they used along with licenses plates to help recover your items. The more time you give a thief the farther away your stolen items will get and the harder it is to recover.
In this review of the XMartO's security camera system we will take about the key points along with some Q&A.
