It is a good idea to have a home security system, especially if you have a lot of valuables in your home. You should protect your home and family from burglars by implementing home-security strategies. Continue reading to learn excellent strategies on keeping your home safe.
Never place a key in an obvious spot. Fake rocks are easy to spot. Doormats, too. Just leave your key with someone you trust. If you cannot do that, at least find an unusual place to hide the key.
Interconnected fire alarms are key. This type of alarm is linked with others in the same system. When one goes off, they all go off. This means that there is no way you will sleep through an alarm, should a fire occur in one part of your house. This will increase your chances of being able to put out the fire before it does too much damage.
Turn the ringers off on all your phones if you will be away for a prolonged period of time. A constantly ringing phone lets thieves know that you are not home and could increase the chances of you getting robbed.
Is there a ladder near your house? A ladder is virtually an invitation for burglars to climb up into your home’s second floor. Do not leave any items around that could give robbers leverage into your home.
If you have a home alarm system, make sure that intruders know too. Yard signs, window decals and noisy sound alarms are all better at keeping someone from ever breaking into your home. If burglars don’t know you have an alarm system until they are inside, they will still likely attempt to steal a few items before taking off.
Rather than simple outdoor lighting, consider installing infrared detection lights. This type of light comes on when anyone is near and is specific to motion. This will have a burglar sprinting away. They know they’ve been seen and they will run.
If your kids are not outside, don’t leave toys in your yard. This will clue the thief in that a woman lives in the house. This also means there may be expensive jewelry inside.
Motion sensor lights on the exterior of your home is a great idea. When a person walks by your home too closely, these lights will go on. They will signal movement to you but will also serve as deterrents to the thieves. Do not forget to change a bulb when it burns out.
Do not tell anyone that you are going on vacation out of your friend circle. It’s great to see new places and take a lot of photos, but posting them while still overseas lets thieves know your home is empty.
You should talk to your friends and family about advice concerning certain home security companies. They may have had experiences with certain companies and can lead you in the right direction. Sometimes, you may get great advice from the people you know.
If you do not reside in a big city, you may not worry as much about home burglaries. Some people think that country folk are mainly targeted since they don’t have nearby neighbors. Other people believe rural areas are less likely to be targeted by burglars.
Many times, someone knocks on your door claiming to need assistance only to bust it wide open when you answer. While you don’t have to ignore a stranger at your door in need of help, stay safe by placing a call for assistance from inside your home without opening your door. If you are afraid, simply contact the police.
Be aware of the types of things that you put out on the curb. Putting out boxes for expensive electronics is like sending out an invitation to burglars. Even if the boxes you leave on the curb are for something immobile, it could send a message to criminals that you likely have other valuables to steal.
A secure hiding place can be created in a wall. You should think about hiding certain small valuables within your walls. All you have to do is place them behind any unused phone jack, electrical outlet or switch plate. If you have no unused plates, you can put in a fake one.
Store your car in the garage if you have it. This will help to keep your vehicle safe. This can also keep people from knowing your schedule.
Regardless of the quality of your home security system, you need to have it checked each year. Ask someone who works at the security company to do a maintenance check. There are quite a few things that can negatively impact the effectiveness of home security equipment. For example, adverse weather conditions or pests such as raccoons can cause problems. You may not know there’s an issue if you can’t see it.
Determine what sort of home protection services or programs the local police department has to offer. Many have quite a few helpful programs that you take, like on self-defense or other things related to your home. Get in touch today.
Rather than believing that you will never have a burglar break into your home, you should be prepared in case it were to occur. Of course, this does not mean living in fear. Simply take some wise precautions. Keep these tips in mind as you get to work.
Home Security Service: The Mini Magnetic Contact Alarm and Chime (4 Pack) uses a magnetic sensor to detect the opening of a protected door or window.
