Here are the facts on digital video surveillance white papers
Is your apartment or home to be empty for many days while you and your family travel? That is when it tends to be most susceptible to break ins. Here are several specific things to do to make your home safer.
* The most advisable solution is to arrange for a house sitter. A house where someone is staying is very likely safer than a home or apartment that is unoccupied. Try arranging for a trusted friend or relative to remain at your apartment while you travel.
* Discontinue the mail and newspaper delivery when the house is empty. Untouched mail and newspaper calls attention to the fact that the home is deserted.
* If you have potted plants or a garden get someone to maintain them. Or Else move the potted plants away from sight. Wilted plants tell passersby that the apartment is empty.
* Put the lights and tv on timers. Put lights in several rooms on timers. Use a natural looking sequence for lights. The timer should switch on the living room lights at dusk. At bedtime the living room lights should be put out and the bedroom lights should switch on.
If you turn on tv at 7 pm every day and it remains on till midnight set the timer accordingly. Even with lights switched on the tv being off may indicate to outsiders that the house is empty.
* Find out if a neighbor will agree to come in and check out your home on a regular basis. Windows and curtains being worked points out that somebody is home.
* If you stay in a rented house tell the owner that the apartment will be empty. Your landlord may want to check up on the home sometimes.
* If you use any kind of security system see that the person who is house sitting is familiar with how to operate it.
* Ensure that the house sitter can reach you easily. The person responsbile for checking into the house should know exactly who to call should a problem arise.
