What you must find out about home security equipt
Is your house to be left empty for days or weeks while you go on a holiday? That is when it tends to be most vulnerable to looters. Here is a bunch of things to do.
* The most sensible alternative is to have a someone occupying the house. An apartment where someone is staying is always safer than a house that is empty. Try arranging for a friend or someone you trust to live at your apartment for the time you are away.
* Temporarily halt newspaper and mail for the entire time you are away. Mail spilling out of the mailbox calls attention to the fact that the home is empty.
* If you keep a garden or have potted plants that are visible ensure that someone waters them. Or remove the potted plants away from sight. Plants dying from lack of care convey to would be burglars that the home is unoccupied.
* Use timers to work tv and lights. Use timers to control lights in many rooms. Set the timings of the lights so it looks as if someone is home. The timer should turn living room lights on at sundown. Later on the lights in your living room should be switched off and the lights in the bedroom should turn on.
If you turn on tv at 7 pm every day and have it on till bedtime the timer must follow those timings. Though the lights are on the absence of light from the tv may reveal that your house is empty.
* See if a neighbor will come in and check out your place often. Doors being opened and closed and windows too are indications that the home is occupied.
* If you stay in a rented house it may be useful to tell the landlord that the house will be unoccupied. The owner may want to check on the apartment or home regularly.
* If you have installed an alarm of protection system make sure the homesitter is aware of exactly how to use it.
* See to it that the house sitter knows how to contact you. The person checking on the house must be well aware of who they should fill in if there is a problem.
