Is a home security system of interest to you? Sometimes, you do not actually need one in your home. Simple things, like keeping your doors and windows locked, can make a bigger difference than the system.
Make your house look like it’s always occupied. Keep your radio, TV and lights on timers. This way, it will appear that you are at home. This is just one of the many precautions you can take to secure your home.
Place the spare key that you make on your dog. This is only true if yours in an outdoor dog, or your house is equipped with a doggie door. Just place your key on your dog’s collar.
Home security systems are able to do more than just sounding the alarm whenever you have an intruder. They can actually be set to chime whenever a monitored door is opened. For families with young children, this is excellent for alerting when a child has entered or left the house.
Solicit word of mouth recommendations from friends, colleagues and family members to find a great home security company or system. They may have had experiences with certain companies and can lead you in the right direction. Make sure to ask neighbors for advice too.
Keep your most precious belongings inside a safe. This will help to keep your jewelry and other valuables secured in the event of a break in. The safe should be situated in an inconspicuous area of your home.
Make sure the ringer on any phones in your home is turned off when you leave for vacation. A constantly ringing phone lets thieves know that you are not home and could increase the chances of you getting robbed.
Eliminate dead vegetation and rotting wood from the yard each summer. These can be fire hazards and can cause damage to your home. Keep your yard clear so it is a safe area.
Remove old plants and debris from your yard. Due to the heat, these items in your yard are more likely to catch on fire. As a result, your home could be caught on fire. To make sure your home is safer, clear your yard periodically.
Changing your locks first can help make your home much more secure. It might be that you have an angry ex-roommate or a bitter ex-partner, so changed locks will boost your security. It shouldn’t cost too much, and the process can be completed very quickly.
When dealing with a company installing your home security system, it is important that you trust your gut. This is very true when you feel uneasy about the person installing the system. You should not hesitate to ask if you can work with a different representative or find a different company if you are not comfortable. After all, you’re investing in a system that helps you to feel safe, so make sure the process involved in obtaining that system does the same.
If you’ve got a garage, make sure to use it for your car rather than extra storage space. You will not have to worry about thieves taking your car if it is inside your garage. Besides, intruders will have a hard time determining whether or not you are home if you keep your car inside your garage.
Avoid leaving spare keys outside of your home. You might think that you are providing yourself a safe way into the house if you misplace your keys, but you are really inviting attackers inside. Thieves are aware of these hiding spots. Rather, give the key to a neighbor to hold.
Just moved in? Time for new locks! While the person that previously had the home may seem okay, you don’t know who they actually are. Remember that other families may have lived there before that person as well.
Go with your instincts when choosing a security system company. This goes for the installer, too. You should not hesitate to ask if you can work with a different representative or find a different company if you are not comfortable. Do some background research on the company you select, and look for people who make you feel safe.
Rotted Wood
Be sure to replace rotten wood in the frame of your front door. Anybody wanting to break into your house can just pry off rotted wood and get inside. Be sure and replace rotted wood with fresh wood in order to ensure home safety.
Get creative and hide valuables inside your walls. It’s not necessary to cut out parts of your wall to do this. You can find pre-cut areas in your walls that can be used. For example, you could take the wiring out of an electric socket that is not in use and put your valuable jewelry in there.
A home security system might just be what you need. It could just be that you need to shake things up a little at home. Check out all your choices to know which ones are right for you.
