The summer months are a vulnerable time for home owners. While many people are on vacation or enjoying the local parks, pools and outdoor activities, burglars and other criminals are taking advantage of the unoccupied homes. Don’t be a victim, play it safe by securing your home!
Feeling safe while in your home and having the comfort of security while you are away will ease potential summer time stress. To address your home safety concerns, consider following the steps below and contact Security Systems of America for a plan that is right for you.
Stage an Occupied House: Any time you are away, especially for an extended period of time, make sure your home appears as if it is occupied.
Keep Doors and Windows Locked: Ensuring your doors are locked at all times is the first line of crime prevention in any occupied or unoccupied home. Also, be sure to close and lock your windows while away.
Avoid Mentioning Travel Plans on Social Networks: Even though it can be quite tempting to send the latest vacation pic via Instagram or post your best adventure ever on Facebook, avoid doing so! Announcing your whereabouts alerts potential intruders to the next available home.
Place Sensors at Points of Entry: Sensors will detect suspicious activity and sound an alarm to deter the intruder. Some systems are able to notify you via smartphone of any activity.
