Something tragic or bad can and will occur when you’re not expecting it. Don’t risk your home and family’s safety by being negligent. The following article will give you some great tips pertaining to home security that you do not want to miss out on.
Get advice from your friends before selecting a provider for home security. This will help you to reduce the stress that you have on your search for a good one. Ask a few different people to help you make the best choice.
Does your dog stay outside while you are gone? Your furry friend is also a great storage place for your extra key. Put it on their collar. If you have a pet that does not trust strangers, this can help you get into your house if needed.
It can be a good idea to only leave one ringer on in your home when you are away. A phone which rings forever is a sign to burglars that you’re not there.
It is always best to not let people in that just show up out of the blue. Even if someone has a good story, requires help or has a great product to sell, ignore them. Some folks will enter to scout for security systems, and upon seeing you lack one, will resolve to return at a later time.
Don’t overlook your garage as a potential access point for thieves. Lots of folks are concerned about burglars gaining access to the garage and then the home, but this can be addressed. A C-clamp placed on the garage door track will stop it from opening when you don’t want it to.
In the summer, remove all the dead trees from your yard. This can be a fire hazard, especially if you live in an area with high heat. Keep your family and your house protected by regularly clearing out your yard waste.
You should regularly check your home security system, regardless of how reliable you believe it is. Your security company should send a representative to check your system. Many factors cause issues with security systems like nature and wild animals. You may not know there’s an issue if you can’t see it.
Put up motion activated lighting. These are lights that turn on whenever any living thing gets too close to your home. Then you will know someone is present, and if the person is a burglar, he or she will be very likely to turn around and leave. However, make sure to put in fresh bulbs every now and then.
Use motion sensor lights. When a person walks by your home too closely, these lights will go on. They will notify you of any movement and can deter any possible burglars since they like remaining inconspicuous. Just remember that you must change the bulbs often in order to keep the lights working in order.
Listen to your intuition as to whether your system is being installed by a trustworthy home security company. This is particularly true if you feel uncomfortable with a company you are dealing with. You don’t want to refrain from choosing a different company or technician. Your security system is supposed to help you, not cause you more stress.
If you move to a dwelling that has had prior occupants, make sure you get the locks changed. While you may trust those who lived there before you, you have no idea who lived there before them. You can purchase the locks and install them yourself to ensure you’re the only person that has a key.
If you’ve got skylights, don’t forget about it when it comes to home security. Skylights are nice to bring extra light into your house, but they are also easy ways for burglars to enter your home. Any skylights in your home should be secured with strong hardware.
Walls are great for hiding items. You can hide small valuables in your walls. You could utilize an electrical outlet, phone jack, or unused switch plate. You can easily install fake unused plates.
Ask your home security company how long they have been in business before you sign up for service. A reliable home security company is one that has a long history in the community and can offer references from satisfied customers. You may not feel as safe if you opt to go with a company that has not been in business for long or that does not have a stable history.
No one should be able to see your valuables from outside. Although large windows in your home can provide your home with a lot of light, they can also provide burglars with an excellent view of the inside of your home. Cover all street-facing windows.
When selecting an alarm set-up, think about getting one that protects not just the doors in your home. Burglars can gain entry through your windows as well. Attach an alarm to every one of them, and make sure all entry points are monitored. This can mean the difference between a safe home and one that is an easy target.
Before you think about home security, consider personal security and safety. While alarm systems are great, they aren’t necessary for every family. Sometimes you may just want to invest in a dog or self-defense classes. See to it that you understand the risks involved in making these purchasing decisions.
Criminals are not predictable, and a break-in of your home can happen at any time. Rather than crossing your fingers and hoping for the best, be proactive. Keep these tips in mind, and continue to research ways to keep your home and family protected.
