Knowledge and facts about alarm system equipment direct
Is your apartment or home to be empty for days or weeks while you go vacationing? That is when it generally is susceptible to looters. Here is what to do to defend your home.
* The most sensible alternative is to have a house sitter. An apartment where someone is staying is commonly safer than an empty house. Make arrangements for a trustworthy friend to stay at home for the time you are away.
* Temporarily halt newspaper and mail delivery when the apartment is empty. Piles of newspaper lying around tells potential burglars that the home is empty.
* If you keep a garden or have potted plants that are visible have them kept by someone regularly. Or Else move the potted plants away from sight. Untended and wilted plants suggest that the house is not occupied.
* Use timers on the lights, radio and tv. Lights in multiple rooms should be on timers. The lights should be switched on and off in a natural sequence. At dusk the lights in the living room should be turned on. At bedtime living room should turn dark and turn on the bedroom lights.
If you usually switch tv on at 8 and it stays switched on till its time for you to turn in set the timer accordingly. Though the lights may be switched on the absence of the tv's bluish glow can be a sign that this house is unoccupied.
* Ask a neighbor to come in to your home on a regular basis. Doors and windows being worked are all signs that the home is inhabited.
* If you live on rent it may be useful to tell the landlord that the home will be unoccupied. Your landlord may want to watch over it now and then.
* If you have an alarm installed make certain that the home sitter knows how to make it work.
* Make it a point to see that the house sitter can reach you easily. Whoever is watching over the home should be informed about who is to be informed should any issues come up.
