Advice on consumer reports home alarm systems
Is your house going to be empty for even a few days while you go out of station? That is when it generally is most vulnerable to housebreaks. Here are several specific things you can do to deal with it.
* The best deterrant is to have a someone occupying the house. Having someone stay at home is normally safer than a deserted home. Check if you can get a trusted friend or relative to stay at home at least during the nights while you are go away.
* Stop your mail and newspaper delivery when you go away. A mailbox that is overflowing or piles of newspaper calls attention to the fact that nobody is home.
* If you have potted plants or a garden have them maintained by someone. Otherwise move the potted plants where they cant be seen. Untended and dying plants convey that the house is not occupied.
* Put lights and tv on timers. Timers should be hooked to lights in multiple rooms. Set the timers to make the light sequence look natural. Living room lights should come on at sundown. When you normally hit the sack put out the lights in your living room and switch on the bedroom lights.
If you turn tv on at 7 most days and you watch it till 11 pm the timer should stick to those times too. The lights may be on but the absence of the tv's light shining through can be a sign that the home is unoccupied.
* Get a neighbor to drop in to your apartment or home often. Windows and curtains being opened and closed points out that the home is occupied.
* If you live in a rented apartment you might notify the owner that the apartment or home will be empty. Your houseowner may want to watch over the house.
* If you have installed an alarm of protection system ensure that the homesitter is aware of just how to work it.
* Make sure the caretaker or house sitter can contact you. Whoever is watching over the home must be well aware of who is to be informed should a problem arise.
