Home Security Technology
Inside Your Home
Smartphones are a great way to help keep your home safe. You can turn lights on and off at specific times, however, it’s best to mix it up just a little such as turning the lights on and off at a different time each day you’re away but only by 15 minutes or so because very few people have such a rigorous schedule that they turn their lights on and off in the same rooms at the same time. You need to stagger it a little bit different lights at different times.
Also, it goes without saying make sure all your windows and doors are securely locked before you leave.
Outside Your Home
If you have a garage, park your car in it. This way, no one will know it hasn’t left the driveway in days. Do not leave a key outside and have your newspaper service stopped while you’re away and have the post office hold your mail.
If you plan to be out of town for an extended time, continue to have your landscapers come at their regular time. Additionally, if you have a sprinkler system leave that as it is and have a family member, friend, or neighbor stop by daily at a different time and check things out to make sure all is well.
