Are security systems something that confuses you? Do you feel nervous about even starting the process? If this sounds like you, then all you need is more information about the matters of home security. The following tips can help.
Your dog can keep your spare house key for you. This works with a dog that stays outside or a dog with a pet door. Place a spare key on the collar, and when you really need a spare, you know where to go!
Never allow any strangers into your home. While their story may seem legit, that doesn’t mean it is true. There are people that just want to go into your home to see if you’ve got a type of home security system, and if they see that you don’t, they’ll return when you’re not home.
Do not open your door for strangers. People try many ways to convince others to open up their doors so that they can commit burglary or worse. Make a house rule forbidding anyone to open the door for an unexpected visitor.
Be sure to keep your car in your garage rather than filling your garage with stored belongings. In this way, your car will be safer. You will not have to worry about thieves taking your car if it is inside your garage. Hiding your car away from plain view is a good way to keep intruders from knowing when you are at home or not.
You need to have your security system checked once a year. Ask a home security employee to give it a look. A number of things may cause your alarm system to have problems, including mother nature and wild animals. If you aren’t paying attention, you may not be aware of these problems.
If you’ve got skylights, don’t forget about it when it comes to home security. Skylights are commonly used by thieves to enter a home. You should have them equipped with strong, sturdy hardware.
A secure hiding place can be created in a wall. This is a great way to hide jewelry, for example. You could utilize an electrical outlet, phone jack, or unused switch plate. Installing a false unused plate is very easy to do if your home doesn’t have one.
When moving into a previously owned home, change the locks. Although other tenants might not have a key anymore, they could have copied it. You might even purchase and install your own locks so that you are assured of having the only keys.
Check someone’s references carefully before letting them come into your home. Try doing a background check to look at their criminal history. You never really know if you can trust a service person, and giving access to the wrong one can prove disastrous.
If you hire a security company, read any fine print. There might be hidden costs or other things you should know about. Be aware of these particular fees so you can steer clear of them.
If you get home and your door is open, do not enter ti investigate. This can be quite dangerous because the burglar may still be on your property. Instead, you should call 911 and wait in a safe location for the police to arrive.
If you haven’t gotten a paper shredder, it may be time to purchase one. Thieves often look through garbage, trying to find credit card information or other important documents. You could also simply take care to tear up your discarded papers.
Put up video surveillance. Setting up hidden and visible video cameras is a good way to keep your home secure. Visible cameras have a deterrent effect, and if they are disabled, hidden cameras can capture the events that unfold. A lot of surveillance cameras could be accessed through your phone, giving you the chance to check it even when you’re away.
Is your street number on your house visible from the street? If an emergency occurs, the police will not be able to find your home as quickly if these numbers are too small or are obscured in some way. Thankfully, you can right this wrong cheaply and quickly.
Are you now better informed about the topic of home security? Keep the advice you’ve read in mind as you work towards making your family’s home secure. You’ll be glad you did as you embark on this important matter.
It’s important to add a 4 camera security system to your home or business. This system turns your home or office computer into a powerful, world-wide video surveillance system in 5 minutes or less. Now we’ve put together a complete wireless USB DVR all-in-one surveillance package for you.
