Facts on battery life wireless home security systems
Is your house going to be unoccupied for days or weeks while you go vacationing? That is when your home is vulnerable to looters breaking in. Here is what you can do about it.
* The best deterrant is to arrange for a house sitter. Having someone stay at your home is usually safer than an uninhabited home. See if you can get a trusted friend or relative to stay at your house while you go on vacation.
* Halt the mail delivery and newspaper delivery when you leave the home unoccupied. Piles of newspaper lying around advertises that your house is unoccupied.
* If you have potted plants or a garden ask someone to maintain them. Otherwise shift the potted plants where they are not visible from the road. Untended and dying plants convey to would be burglars that the apartment is empty.
* It is a good idea to use timers on lights and tv. Timers should be hooked to lights in multiple rooms. The lights should turn on an off in a natural manner. The timer should switch on the living room lights at dusk. At your regular sleeptime the lights in your living room should be switched off and the bedroom lights should be turned on.
If you generally turn tv on at 8 pm most days and it remains on till midnight set your timer to that schedule. Though the lights are on the lack of the tv's bluish glow might be sufficient evidence that no one is home.
* Get a neighbor to drop in on your place often. Doors and windows being opened are indications that the home is inhabited.
* If you rent the apartment notify the owner that the house will be unoccupied. Your houseowner may want to keep an eye on it.
* If you have installed a home security system ensure that the apartment sitter is familiar with precisely how to use it.
* Make certain that the caretaker or house sitter can contact you. Whoever is keeping tabs on the home should know who to call if any issue should come up.
