Essentials about home security camera kits
Is your apartment or home to be unoccupied for some days or weeks while you and your family vacation out of town? That is the time it is vulnerable to break ins. Here is what to stop break ins.
* The optimal defense for your apartment or home is to get a home sitter. A house where someone is staying is always safer than an unoccupied home. Try to arrange for a friend or someone you trust to hang out at your apartment for the time you are away.
* Discontinue your mail and newspaper when you leave the home unoccupied. A mailbox that is full or newspapers lying around tells potential burglars that your home is empty.
* If you maintain potted plants that are visible from the road ask someone to maintain them. Otherwise move the potted plants out of sight. Plants wilting slowly suggest that the house is empty.
* Put the lights and tv on timers. Timers should be hooked to lights in multiple rooms. Set the timers to make the light sequence look natural. The living room lights should come on at sundown. At your regular sleeptime the living room lights should be turned off and turn on the bedroom lights.
If you generally switch on tv at 7 pm and it stays switched on till its time for you to turn in the timer should stick to those times too. Even if the lights are on the absence of the bluish tv glow might be enough evidence that the home is empty.
* See if a neighbor will drop into your apartment now and then. Curtains and windows being opened are indications that the house is occupied.
* If you stay at a rented home tell the landlord that the apartment or home will be empty. Your landlord may want to check on the apartment or home regularly.
* If you have an alarm installed make certain that the house sitter is comfortable with how to run it.
* See that the house sitter knows how to contact you. The person checking on the house should know who to call if there is a problem.
