Show me information about house security systems gorham nhIs your apartment or home to be unoccupied for a few days or weeks while you go on tour? That is the time your home is open to burglars breaking and entering it. Here is what to do to defend your home. * The most sensible alternative is to have a house sitter. Having someone at home is usually safer than a house that is empty. Make arrangements for a friend to stay at home at least during the nights when you are away. * Temporarily stop mail delivery and newspaper delivery while you are away from home. Piles of newspaper lying around tells unlawful elements that your house is unoccupied. * If you maintain potted plants that are visible from the road arrange for them to be watered and kept well. Otherwise keep the potted plants of of sight. Plants wilting slowly are an indication that the house is not occupied. * Use timers on the lights, radio and tv. Use timers to control lights in many rooms. The timings for lights should look natural. Turn on the living room lights at sunset. At bedtime the living room lights should be put out and the lights in the bedroom should be switched on. If you generally turn tv on at 8 pm most days and you watch it till 11 pm set your timer to that schedule. The lights may be on but the absence of the tv can clue in someone that no one is really home. * Request a neighbor to drop in to your house frequently. Windows being opened and curtains being worked mean that the home is inhabited. * If you rent the home tell the landlord that the apartment will be empty. The owner may want to keep tabs on the apartment. * If you have installed an alarm system make certain that the person who is house sitting is comfortable with how it is to be operated. * Make sure the house sitter can reach you easily. Whoever is keeping tabs on the apartment must know who they should fill in should any problems come up.
