As a homeowner, you must do everything possible to keep your family safe. Burglaries, fires and natural disasters can all damage or destroy your home. Continue reading to educate yourself on home-security strategies to keep your home and loved ones safe from all potential threats.
Ask about different contract lengths that your home security company may offer. Each probably has its own set of positives and negatives. Longer contracts may create a lower bill per month, but you you could maintain those monthly expenses if you discontinue service or sell the home. Shorter contracts have more freedom, but the monthly costs could be higher.
Do you keep your dog outside when you aren’t home? This pet may be an excellent storing spot for your spare key. Put it on your dog’s collar, making sure it is hidden. This is very effective if your pet is afraid of strangers; therefore, burglars are not very likely to notice the key.
A wireless security system could be a good option. While wired systems may seem cheaper, they need your home to be rewired and they can fail due to a power outage. Also, you will have a very easy time installing them.
Invest in a high quality paper shredder. Thieves can get lots of information simply by looking through your trash. If you can not afford to purchase a paper shredder, just rip the paper into smaller pieces.
Get a good safe to store your valuables in your home. Doing so can protect your valuables in the event of a robbery. The safe should be situated in an inconspicuous area of your home.
Make sure that whoever is getting your mail while you are on vacation also retrieves any fliers left on the door. This is a way people who are casing out your house can tell whether you are home or not. If a flier remains on a front door for a number of days, the burglar knows the homeowner is away.
Install a surveillance system in your home. You can have great home security with both hidden and visible video cameras. Visible cameras can deter many intruders and if they disable them, the hidden cameras can still capture footage. Find a security system that gives you the option to view the video feed from your phone so you can check on your home at anytime.
Hide your spare key in a place where no one would think to look for it. Common places to hide a spare key are above your door frame or underneath your doormat. Therefore, thieves are more likely to check these places out first. Think outside the box and put the key someplace unusual, like hidden in your dog’s collar.
A great way to deter criminals from getting into the garage is to make sure nobody sees inside it. Frost your windows with film bought at a hardware store. Keep your garage door closed as often as possible, too.
Do not open your door for anyone you don’t know. You never know who they might be, despite their story. Establish a rule where you and your family only open the door for expected visitors.
In summer, take care to trim back branches and plants near the house. These can be fire hazards and can cause damage to your home. Keep your yard clear of debris to keep your house safe.
It is important for your home to always look lived in. Buy timers so things will go on and off at different times. This will give your home the appearance of someone being there. It is also another way to secure your home.
Put your spare key on your dog. This works with a dog that stays outside or a dog with a pet door. You can attach a copy of your key to the dog’s collar, so when you need that spare, you’ve got one handy!
See if the security company has motion sensitive lighting. Many companies do offer this and it makes lights outside the home turn on just as soon as a person approaches them. This can deter potential thieves, as well as offer extra security while you enter your home.
After getting a new home, make sure to change its locks. It’s important to know everyone who has a key to your home. Hire a locksmith so that you can be sure you are the only person who can access your home. This is also the thing to do if you lose the keys.
Don’t give the keys to your home to a professional cleaner unless you trust them completely. You should not let cleaners have your keys if you feel like you cannot trust them, or if they will be working in your home while you are away. It is best to do a reference check on them. If the house cleaner is employed by a company, check with the BBB of your area to determine their reputation.
A sliding glass door is not very safe. They can be unlocked very easily if you shake and lift them. If you do not have a security system hooked up to them, cut a length of pipe to fit in the door channel. This keeps your door closed tightly and it will make it much harder to open forcibly.
Every homeowner needs to take the necessary precautions to protect their home and property from potential threats like thieves or vandals. In this article, you will find excellent information on making your home secure and keeping your family safe. Take advantage of all of the information that this article offers.
