Inside story on ademco vista alarm systems
Is your house going to be unoccupied for several days while you go on tour? That is when your home tends to be vulnerable to housebreaks. Here is a bunch of things you can do to make your home less vulnerable.
* The best security for your apartment is to have someone stay at your apartment. Having someone at home is normally safer than an empty apartment. Arrange for a friend to remain at your home while you go on vacation.
* Halt the mail delivery and newspaper delivery when you go away. Unread newspaper and mail publicises that your house is unoccupied.
* If you maintain a garden get someone to maintain them. Or ensure that the potted plants are kept out of sight. Dying plants give away that the home is unoccupied.
* Put lights, tv and radio on timers. Several rooms should have timers on lighting. Set the timers to make the light sequence look natural. The living room lights should come on at sundown. Around the time your retire the living room lights should be put out and the lights in your bedroom should turn on.
If you turn on tv at 7 pm every day and it remains on till 11 pm the timer should stick to those times too. Even with lights switched on the absence of the tv might be enough evidence that no one is really home.
* See if a neighbor can drop into your apartment on a regular basis. Curtains and windows being opened mean that the home is inhabited.
* If you rent a home or apartment perhaps you can tell your landlord that you will be out of station. Your homeowner may want to check on the apartment or home regularly.
* If you have an active alarm system make it a point to see that the homesitter is aware of exactly how to operate it.
* See to it that you leave your contact details with the neighbor. The person checking on the house must be aware of who they should fill in should there be a problem.
