Understanding alarm systems south africa prices
Is your apartment to be unoccupied for several days while you holiday? That is when the house is open to thieves breaking in. Here are several things and ideas to deal with it.
* The optimal defense for your apartment or home is to have someone stay at your apartment. Having someone stay at your home is always safer than an unoccupied apartment. See if you can get a friend or someone you trust to stay at home when you are away.
* Halt your mail and newspaper delivery when you go away. A mailbox filled to the brim lets everyone know that your house is empty.
* If you have potted plants that are visible get someone to maintain them. Or shift the potted plants where no one can see them. Plants wilting slowly are another sign that the house is empty.
* Use timers for tv and lights. Use light timers in more than one room. The way the lights are switched on and off should look natural. The timer should switch on the living room lights at dusk. Afterwards set the timer to switch off living room lights and the lights in the bedroom should turn on.
If you usually switch tv on at 8 and it is always on till you go to bed the timer should do the same thing. Though the lights are on the lack of light from the tv might be enough evidence that your house is empty.
* See if a neighbor can come in to your home frequently. Windows and curtains being worked is evidence that the home is occupied.
* If you rent an apartment it may be useful to tell the landlord that the house will be unoccupied. The houseowner may want to check up on it regularly.
* If you have an alarm installed make certain that the the person who is doing the house sitting recognizes how it is to be worked.
* See to it that the neighbor can reach you easily. The person watching over the house should be aware of who they should contact should a problem crop up.
