Home maintenance includes home security. It can be hard to know how to start. This article will be a huge help to you.
1.) Look for ways to make your home seem occupied. Buy timers so things will go on and off at different times. This makes people think you’re home. This is a simple way to improve your home’s safety and make it less attractive to criminals.
2.) Let a house cleaner have your keys only if they can provide you with references so you can verify their trustworthiness. If they will be there over an hour and you are thinking of giving them your home key, be certain they are honest, reputable and hard-working. Go over their references and do some background research on the company they work for. If the house cleaner is employed by a company, check with the BBB of your area to determine their reputation.
3.) Don’t talk about your vacations on social media. Although it’s fun to talk about, posting it online makes it more possible for criminals to find out when you’re gone.
4.) Provide the house key to your professional house cleaner, but only if you fully trust them. If you plan on giving them the key so that they can work in your home for over an hour, make sure that they’re reputable, hardworking, and honest. Make sure you verify all references. If they work for a firm, call the local Better Business Bureau to find out that firm’s reputation.
5.) You never want to open up a door to a stranger without proper identification. You never know who they might be, despite their story. Create the rule that you just open a door to people that you expect to arrive.
6.) Use your garage for what it was intended: your car. If your car is in your garage there is less of a chance to vandalize or steal it. When your car is hidden, it will be hard for intruders to tell if you are home or not.
7.) End your shyness. Speak with your neighbors. Ask them to keep an eye on your home, and do the same thing for them. Don’t ignore the gossip. You may end up hearing about things such as odd folks roaming about the neighborhood.
8.) Use your walls as hiding spaces. You do not have to damage your walls to keep your valuables safe. You can find areas in your walls that are pre-cut and use those. What about un-wiring an electrical socket which isn’t used to utilize as a cover to hide your jewelry?
9.) Look for an alarm system that does more than protect your doors. Windows need to be monitored too. Be sure your alarm is secured to them all and that monitoring is in place for every point of entry. This can keep your family much safer.
10.) Your first priority when you move to an apartment or house where others have lived in before is to replace all the locks. Although the tenant before might have turned their key in, they might still have a duplicate key. You can purchase the locks and install them yourself to ensure you’re the only person that has a key.
11.) Buy a good outdoor security camera that allows you to not only scare off intruders but also watch them on a smartphone and record all their actions also for evidence.
For instance the SecureShot HD-Live View-High Definition LED Motion Flood Light is a Motion Flood Light self contained, self recording Motion Flood Light with Wi-Fi and can provide the best Safe Home Security. Not only will you have a complete outdoor security solution for your home or business, you’ll be able to view you property live on your smart phone! Even though not available in night-vision model with IR illuminators, when the flood lights come on, the camera will still be able to record at night.
