Are you extremely concerned about home security? Are the costs of most home security services more than you can afford? You will find solutions that correspond to your needs and budget if you do some research. Happily, there are a number of affordable security options that are readily available. Read on for home security tips, both big and small.
Let a house cleaner have your keys only if they can provide you with references so you can verify their trustworthiness. Make sure they are honest, reputable and hardworking. It is best to do a reference check on them. If it is a known company, check with your local BBB.
Does your dog remain outside while you’re gone? You could let your dog carry a spare key. Fasten the key to your dog’s collar to hide it from view. If your pet does not get along with strangers, this will ensure your spare key stays safe.
Home security systems offer additional features besides loud alarms during a break-in. They can be programmed to alert the homeowner if a person enters the home. This isn’t just for burglars; parents with young children can also use it as a valuable tool to know when their child has come inside.
Install lights that use a motion-sensor. The motion sensors turn on the lights whenever anyone approaches your home. You will be alerted to movement, but most importantly, it will deter burglars or at least make you aware of their presence. Replace bulbs regularly and check the sensors once a month.
Don’t post information about an upcoming vacation anywhere on the web. If you do, burglars will know you’re not home and strike.
Switch your locks. Whether an old roommate left or a relationship ended, changing your locks is a good idea. It is not expensive and you can do it in less than a day.
You can hide things in your walls. Keep small, valuable items inside the walls of your home. All you have to do is place them behind any unused phone jack, electrical outlet or switch plate. If you do not have any unused plates, it is easy to install a false one.
Turn the ringer off on your telephone if you are going to be away. Intruders might be attracted by a phone that rings constantly without anyone picking up.
Be cognizant of what others can see when they look in your windows. Open curtains allow people to see inside your home and see exactly what you have. Always keep your windows covered and do not tempt others by displaying your possessions.
If you bought any expensive or large items, don’t throw the boxes out until the day trash is scheduled to be removed. They show the world you have money and lots of valuables inside.
Have lights that sense motion. These lights will turn on if anyone walks too closely to your home. They will notify you of any movement and can deter any possible burglars since they like remaining inconspicuous. Just remember to change out the bulbs every so often so the lights remain in working order.
Make sure your flashlights have charged batteries and are found throughout your home. Having a well-charged flashlight on hand is very beneficial in case of emergency. Be sure everyone in your family is aware of the location of emergency flashlights.
Motion sensing lights are a good way to increase home security. At night, not only will these lights be handy to light up areas around your home,they are also a cost-effective and efficient security addition. If they are positioned correctly outside of your home, your motion detectors can make it impossible for strangers to sneak around.
If you make a large purchase, like a big screen television, don’t simply set the box out in front of your home. Having these boxes nearby can tell robbers what kind of merchandise you’ve got in your house.
Keeping your home very bright during the night hours is an excellent way to prevent thieves. They do not desire to be seen. With a well lit home there is no place for burglars to conceal themselves. If you want to stay secure, keep your house brightly lit.
A great protection against burglars is owning a dog. These pets are usually territorial and want to protect their masters. You don’t have to have a huge, violent guard dog, though. Small dogs also have the ability to scare away burglars who definitely don’t want lots of ruckus when they appear.
Install a surveillance system in your home. A wonderful way to make your home safer is by putting in hidden or visible cameras. Visible cameras deter the majority of intruders, and if they try to disarm them, a camera that is hidden will keep capturing footage. It is possible to use your cell phone to look at your surveillance camera, meaning you can see your house when you’re gone.
Home security comes down to what you can afford. Use the inexpensive methods of securing your home if you cannot afford the more expensive ones. The article above contained some useful tips on how to secure your home on a tight budget. They might just do the trick.
