Home: Caddex Security Systems
Info on caddex security systemsIs your apartment or home to be unoccupied for a few days or weeks while you leave town? That is when it is susceptible to looters. Here are several specific things to stop break ins. * The optimal defense for your apartment or home is to have a someone occupying the house. An apartment where someone is staying is normally safer than a home that is not occupied. Try to arrange for a relative or friend to live at your house when you are traveling. * Halt the mail and newspaper delivery when you go away. A mailbox that is overflowing or piles of newspaper is a sign that your house is empty. * If you have potted plants passersby can see have them watered by someone. Alternatively shift the potted plants where they are not visible from the road. Wilted and dying plants suggest that the house is not occupied. * Use timers on the lights, radio and tv. Several rooms should have timers on lighting. The timings for lights should look natural. The timer should switch on the living room lights at dusk. Subsequently at bedtime the living room should have lights off and the bedroom lights should switch on. If you generally switch on tv at 7 pm and it stays on till bed time the timer should do the same thing. The living room light may be on but the tv being turned off can clue in someone that this house is unoccupied. * Request a neighbor to come in to your apartment on a regular basis. Doors being opened and closed and windows too is evidence that the house is inhabited. * If you rent the apartment it may be a good idea to notify the owner that you are going away for a few days. The homeowner may want to check up on it regularly. * If you have installed a security system make certain that the house sitter recognizes exactly how to operate it. * See that you leave your contact details with the neighbor. The person checking up on the apartment should be informed about who they should fill in if any issue should come up.
