Notes on free computer video surveillance software
Is your apartment to be unoccupied for a few days or weeks while you go out of town? That is when it generally is susceptible to thieves breaking in. Here are several things you can do to make your home less vulnerable.
* The best deterrant is to have a someone occupying the house. Having someone stay at home is normally safer than an uninhabited home. See if you can get a relative or friend to live at your house when you are traveling.
* Stop your newspaper and mail delivery when you travel out of town. A mailbox that is overflowing or piles of newspaper advertises that your house is empty.
* If you keep a garden have them watered by someone. Alternatively shift the potted plants where no one can see them. Dying plants are a hint that the house is not occupied.
* Use timers for radio, tv and lights. Use timers on lights in several rooms. Use a natural looking sequence for the lights. At dusk turn on the living room lights. At your regular bedtime the living room should have lights off and the bedroom lights should switch on.
If you usually switch tv on at 8 and you keep it on till you turn in the timer should stick to those times too. Though the lights may be switched on the absence of light from the tv might be enough evidence that this house is unoccupied.
* Request a neighbor to come in to your home frequently. Windows and curtains being opened convey that the home is occupied.
* If you rent an apartment maybe you can tell the landlord that you are traveling. The owner may want to check on the home now and then.
* If you have installed an alarm of protection system make it a point to see that the housesitter is comfortable with how it is to be operated.
* See to it that the caretaker or house sitter can contact you. Whoever is watching over the home must be well aware of who they should contact if any issue should come up.
