If you’re a single female or mother that lives alone and you don’t feel like you can defend yourself physically, the topic of home security may be a large issue for you. The following article will give you some valuable advice about protecting your most valuable assets. Read the tips in this article about home security.
Before leaving for vacation, turn off the ringers in your house. A burglar might hear your phone ring and ring and ring, then realize that you are not home to answer it.
Many instances have occurred where people have knocked asking for help but instead mean to cause harm. If someone knocks on your door for help, make the call for them without opening the door. You can then choose to call the number given or call officers of the law, or both.
Don’t make a habit of giving strangers access to your home. No matter how innocent a person may seem or how interesting the product he or she may be offering, you must not allow access. Some folks will enter to scout for security systems, and upon seeing you lack one, will resolve to return at a later time.
Keep all valuables away from the windows of your home. If people aren’t able to see the items, they are not encouraged to break in.
Use your garage for your car and not for storage. Protect your car from vandals by keeping it in the garage. Storing your car in the garage will also make it difficult for anyone casing your home to figure out when no one is going to be there.
The code used for the garage door opener needs to be changed. The code for each unit is standard, meaning that a single one could open more than one. Thieves will use the generic code if you do not change it once you purchase.
When choosing smoke alarms for your house, choose a system that connects each alarm to all others. All alarms in this system are linked. For this reason, when one alarm sounds, they all do. You can rest assured that you’ll be aware of a fire in your home. The sooner you know about the issue, the better your chances to deal with the problem.
Get some professional assistance by asking a home security company to come to your house and work up a plan for a customized security system. Every family is different, and so your security needs will be unique. A custom set-up will make sure you’re as safe as can be.
If you own a ladder and keep it in a shed, lock that shed door! This gives intruders a chance to get into your homes second story. Keep all devices they can use to get up high, such as trash cans, supplies for building and even the shed itself, under lock and key.
Be sure to install new locks when you move to a new house. You never know who might have keys to the existing locks. Putting in new locks will ensure that you and your family are the only ones with access. Have the locks changed if you lose the keys.
Consider your security risk and safety needs before purchasing home security systems. Generic systems aren’t for everyone. In some situations, having a good dog and/or learning some self defense may be all that you really need to feel safe. Understand completely the risks and rewards in order to make an informed purchase decision.
Have you considered motion-sensitive lights? It only comes on if a human comes near. This will freak out a criminal! The person has been seen, and he or she will get out of sight.
Make the existence of your alarm system obvious to intruders. A yard sign or window decal, as well as sound alarms, can be effective at preventing someone from breaking in. You don’t want their first indication to be the sound of the alarm after they have already broken down your door.
Consider purchasing a wireless security system for your home. While the wired systems are less expensive, they usually mean rather intrusive wiring for your house, which can also go out during power outages. A wireless system is easy to install and to maintain. Besides, you will still be able to count on your wireless system in case of a power outage.
Whenever possible, keep your yard free of kids’ toys when your children aren’t actually playing outside. This makes thieves think women live there. Since women have more jewelry than men, they are targeted more.
Do not tell anyone that you are going on vacation out of your friend circle. While you may want to shout it from the rooftops, you’re letting everyone know that your home will be vacant and easy to rob.
If a friend picks up your mail while you’re away, have them check for fliers on your 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.
Before agreeing to work with a security company, check with your friends and family for recommendations. Other people will probably have personal experience with these companies that are either good or bad. They can share their experiences with you, which will greatly assist you in making the best decision. Ask around so that you can have the advice that you need to make a good choice.
Security can be affordable and quick. There are many things you can do on the cheap that will scare criminals off. Keep the advice you’ve read in mind to help make your home much safer.
Discourage burglars by making your garage windows opaque. Use frosting to cover the garage window, so people cannot peer inside. Also, do not leave doors open.
