The scoop about domestic alarm systems nz
Is your apartment or home to be empty for a few days while you leave town? That is the time it is susceptible to break ins. Here are several specific things to do to deter thieves.
* The better alternative is to arrange for a house sitter. Having someone stay at your home is always safer than a home that is not occupied. Try getting a relative to stay at your house for the time you are traveling.
* Temporarily stop newspaper and mail for the entire time you are away. Mail spilling out of the mailbox informs potential thieves that your house is unoccupied.
* If you have a garden or potted plants ask someone to maintain them. Or shift the potted plants where they are not visible from the road. Plants not being cared for are a hint that the home is empty.
* Use timers for tv and lights. Put lights in several rooms on timers. The timings for lights should look natural. The living room lights should come on at sundown. At the time you go to bed turn off the living room lights and the bedroom lights should be turned on.
If you generally turn tv on at 8 pm most days and keep it on till 10 have the timer set accordingly. Though the lights are on the absence of the tv's bluish glow can give a clue that the home is empty.
* Find out if a neighbor will agree to drop into your home frequently. Windows and curtains being opened are indications that somebody is home.
* If you rent a home notify the landlord that you are going out of town. Your homeowner may want to check on the home now and then.
* If you have an alarm installed see to it that the homesitter recognizes precisely how to work it.
* See that the neighbor knows how to contact you. The person checking up on the apartment must be aware of exactly who to call should a problem arise.
