Christmas is a time of joy, relaxation and family gatherings. However, it is also a time when burglaries increase, as it is very easy for someone to take advantage of the absence or carelessness of the owners, and try to break into a place. At Smart Security Systems, we are committed to keeping your home safe, so you can enjoy the holidays without worry!
Here are 10 tips to ensure your home is safe throughout the holidays and vacations:
1. Invest in a Reliable Alarm System for Immediate Notifications
A professionally installed alarm system provides a critical level of security, detecting unauthorized entry and immediately alerting you and the authorities. Modern systems include motion detectors, window/door contacts, and integration with mobile apps for real-time alerts. This ensures your home is protected at all times, giving you peace of mind during the holidays. A professionally installed security system is the first line of defense against intruders.
2. Enhance Surveillance with Security Cameras
Visible security cameras are a powerful deterrent to burglars. Modern systems allow you to monitor activity in and around your home in real time, whether you’re at work or on vacation. Additionally, high-quality cameras allow you to record and review activities around your property.
3. Add a Smart Doorbell with Camera
A smart doorbell allows you to see and communicate with visitors from anywhere, reducing the risk of package theft or unwanted intrusions.
4. Light up your Home!
Proper lighting reduces the places where burglars can hide and enhances the visibility of cameras. Smart lighting and lighting with motion detectors are particularly effective, as they create the impression of movement.
5. Use Remote Access Control
Remotely controlling your home's entrances enhances comfort and security, especially when you're away. Use access control systems that allow you to manage doors and gates remotely, ensuring that only authorized people enter your space.
6. Keep Your Important Items in a Safe Place
Store your valuables in a safe or secure them with hidden furniture locks to prevent them from being stolen.
7. Protect Yourself from Fire Hazards
The holidays bring an increased risk of fires due to decorations and candles. A fire detection system ensures early warning!
8. Collaborate with Trusted Neighbors
Partner with trusted neighbors to keep an eye on your property when you’re away. They can collect your mail and packages, preventing a build-up that could be considered an absence. They can also alert you or contact the authorities if they notice anything suspicious.
9. Check Your Security Systems
Before you leave or relax for the holidays, make sure all systems are up and running and ready to protect your home.
Don’t share everything on social media
If you have received an expensive present, resist the urge to share pictures on your social media. It is better to share such details with people you trust, take a look at your profile settings and see if you can restrict your sharing details on social media etc...
