The story about easy video surveillance software
Is your apartment or home to be unoccupied for even a few days while you take a vacation? That is when your home is most susceptible to burglaries. Here are several specific things you might want to do.
* The best security for your apartment is to have a sitter at home. Having someone stay at home is commonly safer than an apartment that is not occupied. Try arranging for a trusted friend or relative to stay at home at least during the nights for the time you are away.
* Temporarily stop newspaper delivery and mail delivery when you travel out of town. A mailbox that is full or newspapers lying around tells everyone that your home is empty.
* If you keep a garden or have potted plants that are visible have them maintained by someone. Otherwise ensure that the potted plants are kept out of sight. Plants dying from lack of care are another sign that the home or apartment is unoccupied.
* Put lights, tv and radio on timers. Use light timers in more than one room. The lights should turn on an off in a natural manner. The living room lights should come on at sundown. When it is time for bed set the timer to switch off living room lights and the bedroom lights should switch on.
If you normally turn on the tv at 7 pm and you watch it till 11 pm the timer should stick to those times too. Though the lights may be switched on the absence of the bluish tv glow can be a sign that the house is empty.
* Arrange for a neighbor to come in to your house regularly. Windows being opened and curtains being worked convey that the home is occupied.
* If you rent the apartment maybe you can tell the landlord that you will be away. The homeowner may want to check on the home regularly.
* If you have installed an alarm of protection system make sure the apartment sitter is familiar with how to make it work.
* Make certain that you leave your contact details with the house sitter. The person keeping an eye on the house should be aware of exactly who to call if any issue should come up.
