People eagerly wait for summertime to come so that they can take a vacation with their families and celebrate. Due to the fact that most homes are vacated during this period, criminals have always used this opportunity to arrive unannounced and make away with valuables. Ensure that your home security system is in good working condition before departure and that the alarm system is working properly. For help in keeping your house safe during this period when you and your family are having fun elsewhere, the following tips should be of use.
Reliable home security system: get a home security system that covers the whole house adequately. A security system that even leaves one window unattended is no good. Although a good alarm system might be costly, you might have to invest this amount to keep your valuables intact.
Proper installation of the home security system: since most of the home security systems are DIY installations, you need to follow the instructions carefully so that the alarm system is set up the right way. A wise idea is to invite a professional over to check whether the whole installation is just the way it is supposed to be. An incorrect installation is as good as no security at all.
Leave without notice: nowadays, one ought to be careful what information he/she is posting to his online buddies especially through social media sites like Facebook. A casual remark like ‘Vegas here we come’ could be a signal for a criminal to come knocking on your doors.
Inform the neighbors: it is always a good idea to let the neighbors know what you are up to. Although you might still have the home security system intact, you need a third eye to watch over your property. With the neighbors informed, they will certainly pay attention to what is going on in your compound should they sense something.
Hope these tips help you to secure your homes before heading for a vacation.
